Groundbreaking Reverb Emulation Technology
The Pure Plate Reverb plug-in was engineered by the modeling experts at Universal Audio to be a no-compromise emulation of this classic effect. By capturing all of the sonic and mechanical nuances of the steel plate, transducers, and dampers, the Pure Plate Reverb plug-in gives vocals, guitars, strings, and synths a lush, satisfying space that gently flatters any source.
Easy to Use
Whether you’re tracking in realtime using an Apollo interface, or mixing in your DAW, Pure Plate Reverb’s intuitive controls deliver musical results for beginners and pros alike. The ultra-effective Baxandall-type Bass and Treble controls sculpt the timbre of the reverb, while the Low Cut Hz input filters and Pre Delay further season the reverb’s character. Finally, the Balance control lets you place your “space” perfectly in the stereo spectrum. No matter the source, Pure Plate Reverb gives you the rich analog dimension and depth of an old-school plate reverb system.
“Warm, lush, and easy to use — Pure Plate Reverb gives me the classic plate sound.”
– Peter Mokran (Christina Aguilera, The Flaming Lips)
“A beautiful plate never makes something sound like it has ‘reverb’ on it...it just sounds like a record. My Pure Plate Reverb presets were created to reflect this aesthetic.”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)
“Pure Plate Reverb is the best plate reverb plug-in hands down, and possibly the best reverb plug-in.”
– Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands)Watch The Reviews

Use this in the headphone mix, but don’t record to the track. It helps me to do better vocal takes. I’ve proven that by listening back to previous vocals prior to having the DSP...

Great reverb
I don't like high levels of reverb and this allows me to dial it in to the sweet spot

Another plate?
Yes, another plate... I was sceptical, tried it on vocals I love it for that, but can definitely be used on more. Great sounding verb and for a great price after 50% discount and some...

Super versatile!
I used to struggle finding the right reverbs that sounded subtle and natural, but yet still audible and musical. Enter, the Pure Plate Reverb. I had no clue I’d be able to refer to ONE plug-in for about 90% of my reverb work on my tracks. You have a wet/dry knob with the option of going “wet solo”. You can even then shape the frequency even further with low cut options to make your effect cut through the mix even more! Being able to tweak the pre-delay AND reverb time is a life saver. So far, the Pure Plate Reverb hasn’t sounded bad on any source I’ve used it on: drums, guitar, piano, vocals… knocks other reverbs out of the park easily. Thank you Universal Audio!

I had to buy it, didn't want it.
This was part of the Apollo Heritage edition. I haven't tried it because I wasn't interested in it. And because I didn't know I bought it. UA is so annoying. It lists you all of the ca. 200 plugins, and you have no idea of which of them are demos and which you own. And scroll 200 plugins. Are you kidding me??? All I was interested in, was C-Vox. The rest I cannot recommend. And I don't need the rest for what I record with my fantastic Sound Devices MixPre-3 II.

Pure Plate Reverb
My first UAD reverb plug and I very happy this plug-in is Fire
M. Ferreira
Great tone and easy to use
A good reverb.
D. Birtwistle
Very nice
After the unison preamps it's the reverbs that have drawn me into the UAD world. They are so convincing and natural - somehow better than native equivalents - I can't quite put my finger on it. This plate reverb is a great example. Sounds great on everything from drums to instruments to vocals.
K. Fulford
Good starter verb
My first UAD reverb plug and one I reach to as an additional buss to supplement more sophisticated options. Really solid choice for that classic plate sound.
P. Nyström
Awesome
A pure plate and simple but awesome sounding reverb. Works perfect as a guitar reverb.
I. Yunakov
DEPTH
Great depth for vocals and nice dimension
B. Walters
Awesome reverb!
Just got this as part of a promo bundle with an Apollo Twin. Already used it a ton on a current project. Sounds killer on vocals and acoustic guitar!
Z. Rivera
Great reverb
Great plate reverb, it's my go to for vocals.. Smooth sound

a good one
not my best but sound nice
R. Cremasco
Nice and Neat
Simple but lacking nothing. I’d love to have a mid control but that’s not common in plates anyways.
R. Kirk
Nice Tone, Easy to Use
To my ears this sounds as good, if not better than the EMT plate, and is easier to dial in quickly and nail tone that works.
P. Räisänen
Warm reverb
Lush reverb sound for every type of genre!
M. Fletcher
Great on electric guitar
I already have the EMT 140 which is great. But I bought this because this is the reverb that is on my OX Box and I wanted to be able to record from my OX without reverb and add it during the mix. I can see why UA chose this reverb for the OX. It is more neutral than the EMT 140 but no less stellar. Just a different flavor that happens to work great with my amp and guitr
