The EMT plates installed in 1957 remain in use today—because they sound incredible.

Modeled with meticulous detailed and validated by Abbey Road these sounds are now available to all.

This gives the smoothest possible reverb effect with drums percussion instrument attacks (like guitar strums) and other percussive sounds.

Give Vocals Brightness and Presence Compared to the organic sound of acoustic reverb the focused bright sound of plates has made them a favorite reverb for vocals and percussive instruments—but the sound quality helps any track stand out just a little more in a mix. Variable Versatility No two plate sounds are alike—so Abbey Road Reverb Plates captures the sound of the 4 distinctly different plates at Abbey Road Studios.
