Add the Perfect Reverb for Vocals, Guitars, and More
The Pure Plate Reverb plug-in was engineered by the modeling experts at Universal Audio to be a no-compromise emulation of this classic effect. By capturing all of the sonic and mechanical nuances of the steel plate, transducers, and dampers, the Pure Plate Reverb plug-in gives vocals, guitars, strings, and synths a lush, satisfying space that gently flatters any source.

Quickly Find the Perfect Ambience

Whether you’re tracking in realtime using an Apollo interface, or mixing in your DAW, Pure Plate Reverb’s intuitive controls deliver musical results for beginners and pros alike. The Baxandall-type Bass and Treble controls sculpt the timbre of the reverb, while the Low Cut Hz input filters and Pre Delay further season the reverb’s character. Finally, the Balance control lets you place your “space” perfectly in the stereo spectrum. No matter the source, Pure Plate Reverb gives you the rich analog dimension and depth of an old-school plate reverb system.

What They Say

Warm, lush, and easy to use — Pure Plate Reverb gives me the classic plate sound.

Peter Mokran

Christina Aguilera, The Flaming Lips

Pure Plate Reverb is the best plate reverb plug-in hands down, and possibly the best reverb plug-in.

Chris Coady

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands

A beautiful plate never makes something sound like it has ‘reverb’ on it...it just sounds like a record. My Pure Plate Reverb presets were created to reflect this aesthetic.

    Like it was in the 60's

    I worked with the EMT140's during the early sixties and this digital model is exactly like what I remembered.

    Simple, elegant and flexible. Recreates the ambiance of live performances or studio dry recordings.

    SIMPLE GREAT PURE PLATE REVERB

    I actually had to rate it 5 star but some mistaken despite my comments or my review on it, it's still a simple great reverb I ever seen, I love the Pure Plate Reverb for its warm vintage tone, it's a simple Reverb and easy to use, it blends easily with vocals and unique on Drums too, but one thing is of IAD can make it allow automation it would be very nice, Am looking forward to the update version.
