What it does

A plate reverb modelling six units, three British and three American, each with its own damping and character. The input stage offers gain, two switchable filter bands, low and high cuts and three contour modes that shape what feeds the plate. Reverb controls cover pre-delay, damping, width, dry panning with a mono switch, wet mix and a modulation section with depth and speed, followed by an output EQ. Around 110 presets are sorted by source, and controls take MIDI learn.

In the demo

Jade works it on soloed drums first so each control is audible on its own, then moves through a SoundBox pad, FM Zone keys, a piano running against divided AUM clocks, and a blues session on drums, bass and guitar.

Worth knowing

It is a single-purpose plate box, not a general room and hall reverb, and the six models are the whole range. It runs standalone as well as AUv3.
