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

Cool
Love this Plugin
P. Wallin
Handy for recording vocals
Usually I track vocal dry, but when singer really want some ambient I add this to phonemix, but not print it, since I want to tweak settings later in a mix.
C. Özdemir
Smooth
It feels so good to play/sing with in the aux channel

Stunning Plate
A fantastic plate. I worked in a studio with the plate reverb back in the 80's in London and to my ears, this sounds identical to the real thing. I don't say this lightly, but this has made every plate VST plugin I have, redundant. Like my other reviews, I have nothing but admiration and respect for what UAD has done and how much these plugins have blurred the line between virtual and real hardware.
M. Park
Use a lot
Easy to use and great for the vocals
D. Marais
Love all the "big name" brand verbs but this one is a classic all of its own
I am fortunate to own the full suite of U reverb plugins and they are all absolutely stunning, so when I came across this little guy, I was not that interested...until I tried it. It's absolutely gorgeous and is a stunning verb across your two-buss to add a gently, massaged sense of space to the whole mix. Another brilliant contibution from UA

C. Preston
Pure Plate is extremely great
One of the best and most natural sounding plate reverbs I have heard, very pleased with this. Thanks!
N. Cifaldi
Sounds great!
This sounds awesome on pretty much everything. Nice to have the native spark version too for more flexibility.
D. Matas
Fantastic reverb plugin!
A. Gray
Dub be good
Sounds fantastic on drums, in fact sounds fantastic on every source I’ve applied it to.
J. Rucker
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!

Pure Plate Reverb
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 available.
A. Hombach
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.
J. Dearness
Great reverb
I don't like high levels of reverb and this allows me to dial it in to the sweet spot
