The world's first digital reverb returns
Computer Music, Mon 28 Sep 2009, 4:28 pm UTC
When mixing, the EMT 250 provides a most pleasing 'cushion' of reverb, almost as though it's enveloping, supporting and enhancing source sounds, rather than getting in their way. It's easy to mix with and sounds 'right' on a variety of material – we tried it on drums, percussion, vocals, synths and guitars. It won't necessarily make your other reverbs redundant, though, as it only really has one sound.
But what a fabulous sound it is. It has a 'magic' to it that few others can touch, and when you factor in the EMT 250's five funky extra effects, it all adds up to one outstanding plug-in.

This superb effort from UA only loses out on top marks due to its clunky GUI, but sonically, it goes hall the way to ten!

Fantastic classic reverb. The other efects are great too. Do-it-yourself manual phaser! Simple parameter set.
A 'modern' GUI would be nice. Background hiss – just like the original!
