Unit 12. Made in the USA, 1978. The big American box — a multiband reverb with a tail that has weight underneath it, not just length. Halls that keep their pitch, plates that stay flat and bright, rooms you can hear the corners of.
Captured band-by-band so the plugin reproduces the crossover behaviour, not a frozen average. This is the depth pick of the launch: pair it under the rack delay and the two together are most of a record’s ambience.

The same phrase, three ways, loudness-matched. Switch while it plays.
