Default replacement amp for a mono tube EMT 140

Back in the sixties, when the EMT was all there was short of a chamber
reverb, people did a lot of crazy things to alter the sound including
dabbing paint on the plate to try and break vibration modes up, using
different pickup, and changing the amps. People did all sorts of stuff
with pre-delay, using garden hoses with compression drivers and microphones
at the end, or magnetostrictive delay lines from military radar systems.



OK now I am curious..what does an EMT sound like?


Like a spring only more dignified.

Is there a good example of a popular commercial recording that has an obvious EMT sound?
