Chapter 19: EMT 140 Plate Reverb
Reverb Controls
Plate reverb systems are extremely simple: A re-
mote damper setting, and a high pass or shelf fil-
ter found at the plate itself. Additional manipula-
tion is often used, including reverb return
equalization, which is typically achieved at the
console. Predelay is/was often achieved when
necessary with tape delay, sending the return to
a tape deck. Different tape speeds allowed dif-
ferent pre-delay amount.
The original damper controls are remote control devices, usually found some-
where near the control room for quick access. Our hybrid panel combines
three remotes into the panel, with a switch to select each of the three available
systems.
Note:
The reverb controls (Plate Select and Reverb Time) are completely inde-
pendent from all other plug-in controls.
Plate Select
Three plate models (algorithms) are available for reverb process-
ing. This switch specifies which plate will be active.
Each setting is a model of a completely separate and unique
plate system. Three 140’s for the price of one!
Note:
You can also switch the active plate by clicking the A, B,
or C letters above the Plate Select switch and the Reverb Time
meters.
Reverb Time
Meters
The Reverb Time Meters display the re-
verb time of plates A, B, and C in sec-
onds. The meter for the active plate model
(as specified by the Plate Select switch) is
illuminated.
Damper Controls
(Reverb Time)
The Damper Controls (the buttons beneath the Reverb Time Meters)
change the reverb time for each plate. The range is from 0.5 to 5.5
seconds, in intervals of 0.1 sec. Click the buttons to increment or
decrement the reverb time.
Note:
The reverb time can be changed by dragging a Reverb Time Meter
“needle” in addition to its corresponding Damper controls.
