1. I've been messing around with the EMT 140. Does anyone use this plug with the red 'WET' button enabled? It seems like no matter how far down you set it the reverb is over the top. Is there are trick or method to using this plug with the wet button enabled and not get such an overdose of reverb?
2. If you have an Apollo, then the UAD EMT 140 Plate Reverb is a must have plugin. Put it at the top of your list. (Also, if you don’t have it and are considering the UAD EMT 250, get the 140 first.) The real EMT Plates have been used on countless hit records, so it’s a proven approach and one that most of us are used to hearing.

This article looks at several ways you can exploit UA’s EMT 140 plug. EMT 140 and 250. The EMT plugins are my two ‘first stop’ reverbs when I reach for the ambiance dial. The 140 and the 250 are quite different in workflow, but the difference in sound can be subtle. The 140 is a beautiful plate reverb that is absolutely perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments. EMTs founder Wilhelm Franz made a breakthrough in 1957 with the release of the EMT 140, which utilized a resonating metal plate to create ambience. EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator by Universal Audio is a Virtual Effect Audio Plugin for macOS and Windows. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin, an RTAS Plugin and an AAX Plugin.

For those who may not know, the “plate” in hardware-plate reverbs was a large sheet of stainless steel suspended by springs in a wooden box. Combining a driver (speaker coil) to move the plate with two contact microphone/pickup elements (if stereo), the plate would be vibrated by the incoming signal and simulate reverb through the vibrations created within the plate. A physical damper, that was adjustable, would allow the plate to resonate for longer (undamped) or shorter times. External delays or EQ was frequently added to the signal for effect.

Designed for UA’s UAD-1 or UAD-2 cards, it will run VST, AU and RTAS. While the GUI is based on the original hardware, it has a few useful enhancements.

Also available is width adjustment from mono to full stereo (zero to 100 percent), L/R/C balance, Predelay, Modulation Controls and an EQ section independent of the Input Filter.

It’s easy to get a great sound with this reverb. I tried it on snares, stereo loops, vocals and keys. The three plates each have a unique tonal quality, but I kept coming back to B (the dark one). Adding Pre Delay (up to 250ms) to a snare was killer, and the ability to filter low end in two different ways on the drum loop was a nice touch.

Universal Audio’s Eastern regional sales manager Bruce MacPherson also had a few good EMT 140 tips to share with me. “It’s great in multi mono mode with different decays, getting a slightly different sound on the left and right side in a stereo mix,” he noted. “It’s also nice to use it like a real amp reverb by placing it after an amp simulator with the speaker bypassed and then before the speaker in a second one with the amp bypassed — beautifully haunting!”
