Still regarded as one of the best-sounding reverb units ever made, the EMT 250 continues to leave an immeasurable mark on record-making history in the hands of studio legends like George Massenburg, Bruce Swedien, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Allen Sides.

EMT 250 Verb

Great sounding reverb with easy use adjustment’s, for tweaking the good presets. Great complimentary to the EMT 140 (my snare go to reverb) and the Capital Chambers reverb.

Does it for me

Great versatile reverb. Loads of presets ready to use. Very flexible and feels like the reel deal.

Smooth, creamy , ready to go !

i could laugh when people say : It’s realistic hahaha there’s no way to know the difference with this beautiful sounding reverb and the real analog machine. It hurts , but Digital have turn the analog down.

The only analog advantage is the palpable faders and that the machine “ burns “ in your own way , i know that. The plug is a sound that a lot of people
will have; it’s time to let the creativity distinct our sound besides the machine.

I put it in a bus track , send a voice track , instant magic , the reverb blends perfect , gave a gorgeous “felt” space

EMT Reverb

I have a few "go-to" reverbs. This one was on sale so I bought it. It is so easy to use and quick to get a great sound. It is my new "go-to" verb.
