A Legend Reimagined
Before the EMT 140 reverb was released in 1957, the only options for musicians and engineers to capture a realistic sense of space in their music were to record in a larger room or use echo chambers.

By using an 8×4-foot sheet of metal within a solid wooden box, engineers recreated a sense of space in a brand-new way, which became known as Plate Reverb. This distinctly analogue process meant every plate reverb has its own sonic fingerprint.

Some were darker, some were brighter, some were longer, and others were shorter. With this in mind, we travelled to numerous top studios around the world to find the seven most iconic examples of this legendary Plate Reverb Sound.

Radiance is a sonic encyclopedia of classic plate reverbs from the past 60 years.

7 Vintage Plates
Because no two 140 plates sound the same, we set about finding the seven most unique-sounding examples of this classic reverb at various studios around the world.

Chosen for their distinct qualities, we modelled each one in exquisite detail and usefully named them after their immediate sonic character.

From dark and moody to beautifully vibrant and airy, Radiance’s plate models cover a wide sonic spectrum.

Modern Control
Going far beyond typical emulation, Radiance gives you quick, easy access to powerful modern features that often require multiple plugins, complex routing, and considerable time.

Take the iconic 140 plate sound to new dimensions with rich modulation, ducking, mid / side EQ, gating, dual-band stereo width, transient shaping, reverb character modes, and much more…
