Gold Standard Reverb for the Modern Engineer
The Heritage Audio HA 240 Gold Foil Verb plug-in brings a piece of audio history right to your own mixes. Modeled after the Serial #0183 gold foil reverb unit used by Heritage Audio founder Peter Rodriguez in the early stages of his recording career, this plug-in fully captures the spirit of that storied unit for a new generation of engineers. At your disposal, you have a wealth of controls to dial in the ideal reverb for your application. Precise Input and Output gain knobs allow you to match levels for any signal. Meanwhile, control the tone of your reverb with both an adjustable low-cut filter and 2-band EQ knobs; set the perfect saturation levels with a Dry/Wet knob or go full out on an aux send with the 100% Wet button. Finally, adjust the stereo scope of your 'verb with the Sread knob and dial in timing with the Pre Delay control and a time wheel. Engineers at Sweetwater have discovered that the HA 240 plug-in is particularly well-suited for guitars, strings, synths, and vocals. With the Gold Foil Verb in your DAW, you'll have opportunities to emulate classic reverb styles or build something as unique as the original unit from the Heritage Audio collection.

Dial in a classic sound or set a new standard
When it comes time to enhance the depth of your tracks, the HA 240 Gold Foil Verb will be on standby. Tame a hot input or give a boost to a quiet source with the Input knob for locked-in gain staging. The Output knob allows you to balance out the level of the reverb effect in a mix so that you aren't slammed with reverb unless you choose to be. Got a lot of room noise or just too heavy of a low end? The low-cut filter knob allows you to smooth out that low end rumble at 100Hz with settings at 0, -4, -12, or -24 dB. Next, the 2-band EQ is set at 150Hz and 5kHz with knobs that let you fine-tune the tone of your reverb from -12dB to +12dB. Looking for a gentle splash of reverb or full-out aux send? With the Dry/Wet knob and the 100% wet button you can fully dial in the scale of your 'verb to whatever mixing scenario you find yourself in.
Capture gold foil tonality
Through this plug-in, Heritage Audio gives you the full breadth of what a vintage gold foil plate reverb can offer. With the Spread knob, you can either tighten up your verb or let it wash over the stereo space of your mix. Pre Delay allows you to determine the time before the signal is processed through the reverb from an instant 0 ms all the way to 250 ms. Additionally, you can utilize the time wheel to control the tail of your reverb, from short and subtle or long and dramatic. Whether you are going for a focused, small room vibe or an ambient aesthetic, these controls give you full authority over how much gold foil plate you want to fold into your mix.
