Black Ltd. Plates
Plates by Mr. Black is a stunning recreation of the legendary plate reverb effect, a studio staple since the 1950s. Unlike digital reverbs that aim for clinical perfection, Plates captures the organic, ever-evolving nature of a vibrating metal plate. Its unique algorithm precisely models the complex interactions of sound waves bouncing across an 18-square-foot slab of steel, resulting in a lush, shimmering reverb that's alive with subtle variations and unpredictable character. Three simple controls put this sonic sorcery at your fingertips. Dial in the perfect balance of dry signal and wet reverb, adjust the decay time to taste, and tame the high-end sparkle with the HF Damp knob. No two notes will ever sound exactly the same, as the reverberations shift and morph in captivating ways. This limited-run pedal pays homage to the revered plate units of the past, but its modern design and proprietary algorithm make it infinitely more practical and versatile than those bulky, temperamental machines. Whether you're playing delicate clean passages or massive distorted chords, Plates will transport your tone to an ethereal sonic realm, imbuing your music with a sense of space and grandeur. With its meticulous attention to detail and commitment to the organic imperfections of analog hardware, Plates by Mr. Black is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to expand their sonic palette and unlock new realms of expression.
