EMT® 250 Classic Electronic Reverb
-
Iconic lever-driven digital reverb and modulation effects unit.

Still regarded as one of the best-sounding reverb units ever made, the EMT 250 continues to leave an immeasurable mark on record-making history in the hands of studio legends like George Massenburg, Bruce Swedien, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Allen Sides.Track and mix with the only emulation of the EMT 250 reverb unit, fully endorsed by EMT International GmbH

UAD Demo Video
Featuring the EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverberator plug-in
Used on Countless Classics
The EMT 250’s distinctive clear and open reverb sound has appeared on countless records, including Prince & The Revolution’s Purple Rain, Elvis Costello’s Spike, and modern classics like The Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Stadium Arcadium.
Exclusively endorsed by EMT Studiotechnik
Fully endorsed by EMT, the UAD EMT 250 plug-in uses the same algorithm found in the original, extremely rare hardware — designed by Dr. Barry Blesser and EMT industrial engineer Peter Bermes* — modeling a sourced “golden unit” from Allen Sides’ collection that resides at the famed Ocean Way Recording.
Added Versatility with New Features
The EMT 250 plug-in goes far beyond the original hardware, adding modern, workflow enhancing features like Dry/Wet Mix, Wet Solo, and Hard bypass. With these useful additions, the EMT 250 plug-in is even more powerful than the iconic hardware.
“The EMT 250 works great on snares. Keep it short and tight to add some dimension, or use the four-second range with full pre-delay for ballad-type songs.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“Now I have UAD on everything, and I'm using the EMT 140 and the EMT 250 as effects – It's so much easier.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“Forget any other plate emulation, the UAD EMT 250 could actually be the real thing. Deep, wide, and full of personality.”
– Rik Simpson (Coldplay, Portishead, Jay Z)
“The EMT 250 plug-in is amazing. It’s all over Norah Jones' record. I used it on every song, it's that good.”
– Jacquire King (James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits)
“I’m a really big fan of the UAD EMT 250. It’s so faithful to the original unit.”
– Just Blaze (Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé)
“I use the EMT 250 because it has such a specific sound, and the UAD plug-in really does capture it.”
– Andrew Scheps (Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Duke Spirit)
“I’m particularly happy with the EMT 250 Reverb emulation. It’s spot on.”
– Glenn Rosenstein (Ziggy Marley, U2)*All images and depictions herein referencing the exterior of the original EMT 250 are the copyright of Bermes Design.Customer Reviews

Versatile e di grande qualità
Si tratta di un multieffetto da usare con molti strumenti. Utilizzando l'EMT 250 si possono ottenere ottimi risultati già con i vari preset. Io lo uso sulla mandata effetti quando mi ascolto e nelle fasi del mix. Usato con presisione, è utilissimo anche nella fase di mastering. La traccia della voce acquista molto con l'EMT 250. L' emulazione è ottima !

Great Revival of The Great Reverberator!
I owned an original EMT 250 for well over 20 years, loved it, and used it on almost every project for that length of time. In fact, Julio Iglesias WOULD NOT record without it at my studio! But mine finally "bit the dust" and couldn't be repaired...I was heartbroken.
But now I have it back! Buying and installing the UAD EMT 250 almost brought tears to my eyes. Such wonderful, lush reverb again. Thanks UA!E. Ananda

It’s just lovely
Sound so smooth and great- it’s just a joy to use

Superb
My favorite reverb.
S. Nelson
Amazing Reverb
This reverb is one of my all time favorites. I love it. When used on a vocal track it places the singers voice clearly and elegantly in the mix. The reflections are very smooth, warm and clean without unusual artifacts. In my opinion it the best EMT verb available—the depth and dimension of this reverb is simply phenomenal. Did I say I love it.

貴. 川吉
great sound

thank you Universal audio!!G. Jennings
Just Sounds Great.
A while back I got the EMT 140, and wasn't sure if I should get the 250. The 140 was my go-to for just general verb for all my projects. But I decided to try the 250, and it's really a whole different critter. Historically I haven't been too happy with any of the reverbs I've owned prior to the 140, and now with the 250, I actually have TWO great verbs. The 250 is one that I can pour on really thick, and I can't make it sound bad.
V. German
Legend!
Very clear and transparent sound
C. Davis
Excellent plug-in
It works well on everything especially on my snare drum and vocals also, this is a good one yes!!
