well is there something i should buy or should i use my Lexicon phanteon plug in that came with pro tracks plus
 
An actual plate reverb will cost you more than a very decent car.
Basicly, if your happy with the plate verb you have now, why look further? If your not happy, try another verb plug :)
 
i guess i should have rephrased my first question i actually meant to say: how do you get plate reverb
 
there is a company that sells them new for under 2 grand I can't find the website now...

it is basically a metal sheet, maybe 6' by 4'. i believe there is a speaker or something attached to the metal sheet, and it vibrates and sounds like reverb. there is a microphone attached to the sheet at the other end that picks up the vibration. add a 2nd microphone and you have stereo returns.
 
yes, there are plugins, but thats not how you get a plate reverb
 
FWIW, the 'Plates' in the Lexi 80 and 90 for example are quite different than in the UAD-1.
Comparing to some real long away far ago recollections, I'd say the UAD might be 1. :D

This thread got me thinking, so I looked up info for making a plate reverb. Click here for an article on how to build one on a pretty tight budget.
 
Seems like I've seen a few sell for under $1k on eBay.
