plate reverb

Plate reverb is a type of reverb created by running a signal through a large, thin vibrating metal plate¹². It became a standard in recording studios because of its clean, bright sound, and was famously used on vocals, drums, and guitar³². The sound is often described as bright, smooth, and diffuse, like the large plate units found in professional studios⁴⁵⁶. Today, plate reverb is commonly found in DSP pedals as a reverb algorithm or program³⁷.
