1.8 s tail.
Bright, dense, modulated. Sounds like an EMT 140 that has been kept clean.
character.
Plate models the studio plate reverbs of the 60s and 70s — a steel sheet excited by the source, pickups reading the resulting vibration. Bright, dense, with a touch of natural modulation in the late tail.
Plate is the safe-and-glamorous choice for vocals, snares, and any source that benefits from a little extra sheen up top. The Brain ducks reverb energy where the source is loudest, so the wet stays out of the way.
Pairs with: Spring for a noisier, drum-room-style alternative; Chamber when you want the same scale without the modulation.
Best for
- Lead vocals (rock, soul, R&B)
- Snare
- Lead guitars
- Pianos that want sheen

Long stone tail, slow attack, the Brain is loud — every transient becomes a swell.
— Naturalshall
Concert hall — warm, defined, decay around 2 to 3 seconds. Default for orchestra.
— Naturalschamber
Small wood-and-plaster chamber. The size that disappears into a pop arrangement.
— Platesspring
Twangy and bright with the characteristic spring “boing” on transients.
