Iconic Instruments has announced the release of a recreation of 5 units of the deep and haunting EMT 240 gold foil plate reverb, first introduced in 1971.
The GF240 shares the exact same layout and feature set as the company’s SP140 Plate Reverb.
Powered by Gorilla Engine, and made in collaboration with Numerical Sound, the GF240 includes classic functionality, like a pre-delay control, send width, a filter section with high- and low-pass filters, as well as a shapable node, tail length control from a full 6 seconds down to a mere 20ms (much shorter than an analog unit) and a mix control with a convenient solo switch to preview only the reverberation.
But like the SP140, the GF240 also sports some new twists to the original, like a 5-position density control that ranges from full-bodied plate sounds to a light, transparent wash without reducing the fullness of the reverb. Additionally, the drive feature gives you a classic 70’s-style distortion that you can apply pre- or post-reverb, and the high- and low-pass drive set screws allow you to place the distortion exactly where you want in the frequency spectrum. And finally, choose from a list of twenty carefully crafted presets that range from classic references to modern, or even abstract examples.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/AU), GF240 Gold Foil Plate Reverb is on sale for the intro price of 39 USD/EUR for a limited time (regular 59 USD/EUR).
