State-of-the-art modeling of the four legendary EMT 140 reverb plates housed at Abbey Road Studios and used on recordings by the Beatles and Pink Floyd.
 
Introduced in the 1950s, plate reverbs have been a fixture of recorded music ever since. Used most prominently in the "60s and "70s by pioneering bands, including the Beatles and Pink Floyd, Abbey Road Studios" original reverb plates " four EMT 140 units " were first installed in 1957 to complement the fixed reverberation times of the studios" echo chambers. These beautiful-sounding plates, with a variable reverb time of up to six seconds, were then tweaked to perfection by Abbey Road's technical engineers. To keep noise to a minimum, EMI's Central Research Laboratories designed unique hybrid solid-state drive amps for Plates A, B and C. Plate D was fully valve-powered on both drive and output stages, allowing a versatile array of sonic characteristics, from warm and dark to lush and smooth.
 
In each of these original plates, the stereo reverb effect is created by suspending a large sheet of metal with tensioned springs attached to each corner. A transducer injects the metal sheet with audio energy, which is picked up by two contact mics fixed to the surface of the plate. The reverb time can then be adjusted by using an internal damper, and all of this is contained within a large wooden unit.
 
These historic Abbey Road plates have been used on countless seminal pop, rock, classical and film recordings over the years, and continue to be used in all kinds of audio production to this day. Waves has now created meticulous models of these stunning and unique-sounding units, individually modeling the harmonic distortion of both the drive and output amps as well as the individual plate/damper behaviors.
 
  • Precise modeling of four legendary Abbey Road reverb plates (EMT 140), each with its unique character
  • A drive control to set the THD characteristics of the in/out amplifiers and the plate sheet itself
  • Ability to control the amount of analog noise and hum
  • Four original bass cut positions
  • Crosstalk between the stereo inputs to get a stereo leak effect

Nice and slim
Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley
This is a really cool oil pan. The slim line allows me to put it under any of my three motorcycles without jacking the bike up. The only draw back is that it is big because of the slim design. I can live with the larger size since i don’t have to lift my motorcycles during service.

4.5 star
Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley, Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley
Id give it a 4.5 star only because the holes weren't well rounded on the interior were they punch through the mold to make the holes. Other than that I tested if it holds full of water and all seals work. The fix: grab a knife scrap the inside ring and it will fall off. If you want a more perfect feel (not rough) heat up a flat head or screwdriver that has a round stem and use that after heating to lightly melt the plastic to smoothen it out. I didnt do 2nd part dont care. Great size, will fit under motorcycles easily like my 04 zx10r.
