Iconic Instruments have released GF240 Gold Plate Reverb, available at the intro price of £/$39.00, increasing to £/$59.00 after the promotion.
GF240 gold foil plate reverb, a faithful recreation of five units of the deep and haunting EMT 240 gold foil plate reverb, first introduced in 1971. Following the success of the famous 140 steel plate reverb, German manufacturer, EMT, released the model 240 gold foil plate, which sported a much smaller form factor and with a distinct character all its own. Like its real world analog, the Iconic Instruments GF240 is a followup to the Iconic Instruments SP140 steel plate reverb (modeled after the the original EMT 140), and both plugins share the exact same layout and feature set.
Powered by Gorilla Engine, and made in collaboration with Numerical Sound, the GF240 includes classic functionality, like a pre-delay control, send width, a filter section with high- and low-pass filters, as well as a shapable node, tail length control from a full 6 seconds down to a mere 20ms (much shorter than an analog unit) and a mix control with a convenient solo switch to preview only the reverberation.
But like the SP140, the GF240 also sports some new twists to the original, like a 5-position density control that ranges from full-bodied plate sounds to a light, transparent wash without reducing the fullness of the reverb. Additionally, the drive feature gives you a classic 70’s-style distortion that you can apply pre- or post-reverb, and the high- and low-pass drive set screws allow you to place the distortion exactly where you want in the frequency spectrum. And finally, choose from a list of twenty carefully crafted presets that range from classic references to modern, or even abstract examples.
The GF240 is not just another plate reverb… it’s five different plates in one plugin, based on famous examples. The never-before-seen Density control allows you actually change the density of the reverb to range from a full, lush plate sounds to a light, transparent wash without reducing the fullness of the reverb. The Drive knob allows you to not only add 70’s-era distortion either pre- or post-reverb, but the high- and low-pass set screws give you the ability to place the distortion exactly where you want in the frequency spectrum. As in a classic studio workflow, the GF240 has a Send Unit that features a filter section with high- and low-pass filters and a shapeable node to control the color of the reverb.
