I just go the EMT 150 plate reverb plug in for my UAD1 FX card and it's awesome!

For a plate that doesn't require a card, try the Timeworks 4080. It's pretty good once you tweak it.

Or you could buy a Lexicon. Their plates are incredible too.

What Mark said. It's hard to go wrong. If you hear a PCM 80, 90 or 91 you'll go "oh shit, that's the sound I've been hearing for years".

I just watched a little half rack Lexicon verb go for around $150 on Ebay. Good deal IMO.

Buy a real EMT plate and stick it in your closet! :lol: Seriously, like others have mentioned, Lexicon are studio staples...look for a used PCM 70, though that'll probably still run ya some $$$....very versatile.
