Default replacement amp for a mono tube EMT 140

hey all,i wanna convert this plate to a stereo solid state version,
im guessing id need a power amp to send signal to the driver and i plan on putting piezo pick up's on it, so i'll also need a for of mic pre right?to send the reverberation signal back into daw.
any recommendation's of driver amp or pre's used to do this job would be greatly appreciated,,

Why the piezo pickups?

Martinsound will probably still sell you a kit to do exactly what you want.
Jim Cunningham may still have pickups but he probably won't have the amp
module.

You really want to use original electronics, they are still part of the sound.

thanks for reply,i read somewhere,i think jim cunning hams site that his upgrade was a piezo replacement.
i'll contact Martinsound and see what the options are,i suppose its a thing of,if your gonna do it,do it right.
i was hoping that there'd be a slightly more economic approach.
thanks again

Putting piezo pickups in is not exactly an upgrade... it completely changes
the sound, giving you a whole lot more low end and some peaky stuff up top
that the original pickups don't do. You might like that, you might not.

If you put piezo pickups in, you will need to reduce the amplifier gain by
about 20dB and probably decrease some coupling cap values to reduce the bottom
end buildup. (And yes, Cunningham is correct that the hum is reduced a lot
in the process.)

But it's a very striking sound change, it does not sound like the original
to me.

Economic and EMT plates have never gone together.

What you want to do seems to me to be to convert a valuable classic to a -

So what problem is it you want to solve by doing it?

My opinion: Do not do it. Leave as is. If you need stereo verb then use a
digital stereo verb or room simulator on its output.

Untested instinctive opinion based on experience. Stereo can be overrated,
some of the time what a vox needs is exactly a mono plate sound return. I
remember recording an oratorio where just that was what made vox sound
natural and at the proper place in the perspective in spite of being
spot-miked, a natural verb sound just didn't do it right.

thanks guys,,
i take your advice on board,,if i could get the original pick ups i'd go there,but its seems impossible to find them.

"Stereo can be overrated"

i agree that sometimes it is what is necessary but,i'd like to use it as my main verb and i do tend to go with stereo, more often than not .

checked an old gearslutz post saying the upgrade kit from martin sound is $2500.
thats out of my budget right now unfortunately.

i might get a local tech to try emulate it from schematic's. (amp 162)
does anyone know of an amp that might be a good starting place to replace the driver amp,
surely the pick up's are a pretty simple case of amplifying the signal,this like anything sound source is affected by the type of pre and id be comfortable to have a decent enough pre do that job.

If the original amp broken or degraded, a rebuild would be one way to
go. Primarily replacing any electrolytic capacitors, and anything else
that may have drift (maybe some old resistors, but unlikely).

I believe that kit contains a second pickup, or at least it used to.

If that's out of your budget, consider buying a used Sony DPS V-77. It is
not a perfect plate emulation, but it's a pretty good plate emulation. It's
as good as the fancy Yamaha modelling reverb unit.

i might get a local tech to try emulate it from schematic's. (amp 162)


If you can get someone to do that for $2500, you're doing great. I'd
probably charge that much just for chassis machining.

If you use something other than the original electronics, it won't sound
the same. If you use different pickups, it will sound really not the same.
If it doesn't sound the same, what is the point of having an EMT anyway?

pass of mono on one track, then a second pass of mono on a separate
track?

I have done this with spring reverbs before. It wasn't *STEREO*, but
there was some difference between the two passes. And yeah - it's a

right, I'm thinking i'll use the tube v54 mono amp to drive the plate and get either martech pick up's or piezo's for the stereo thing, then just use DI's and mic pre's to amplify.

"HOW MUCH OF THIS PLATE REVERB DO YOU HAVE, OR NOT HAVE?"

i have everything thats needed to run a mono tube plate.
minus the side panels and cover for the v54 amp,and remote,i reckon i'll get that made in time.
im not 100% bummed out that it won't be totally original,because in ireland where i come from, finding a plate is rare,so i have to work with what i got.
i'll need to get clips and spring too as it'll need to be tuned when it its final location.
thanks all again

Well, get the thing up and running as a mono tube plate, decide how you like
the sound, and then worry about anything else later.

You're going to have enough work just getting it running.

That's no reason to butcher it and turn it into something else. First get
it working properly (and if it involves moving it make sure it is prepped
according to the manual... magnet removed, everything locked into place,
nothing able to shift). Recap the amplifier, clean everything up (and if it
has been in storage you may need to steel wool the plate), and tune it.

Follow the tuning directions in the manual; don't believe people who tell
you that you need to crank it up until clips are breaking right and left.
Do put a drop of light oil on each of the clips before you start screwing
them down because the threads on the screws will bind if they have not
been touched in a long time.

Just get it running as a mono plate system that is as original as possible
and decide if you like the sound. If you want to turn it into something
else, maybe you are better off trading it for something else once you have
it working properly. But before you do anything you need to get it up to
spec and familiarize yourself with the sound and operation and the various
tricks for using it.

hey scott,

"That's no reason to butcher it and turn it into something else"

if i use the b54 tube amp to drive the plate and put two other pick up's on it and power the pick up's,be it piezo or martech's,would you real consider that butchering.
it would very easily be brought back to its glorious mono situation by removing the piezo or one of the new pick up's and drive and amping from the v54 amp.

i would hazard a guess that a lot of plates where converted to stereo because of peoples individual preference to it being stereo rather than mono.,,,I've heard worked in studio's with Emt 140's before and think i'd prefer a stereo,,if someone would swap a stereo for a mono, id gladly trade plus cash,,not sure i'll have any takers tho.

anyway.one step at a time,powering the amp is the first real concern,it was gone over before going into storage and that was 15 years ago so,,how knows what died in that time.

thanks for your input,it is appreciated
regards

It wouldn't sound like the original EMT plate any more, so I'd call that
butchering or at least messing it up.

The reason why you get an EMT today is because it sounds like an EMT, so
if you do something to it that makes it sound like something else, you have
defeated the whole idea, and spent a lot of work doing it.

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.

Most of this stuff was done to try and get a more natural sounding reverb
from the EMT. Today, if you want a natural reverb there are a lot of
pieces of equipment to get it, and you don't use an EMT for that. You use
an EMT because it sounds like an EMT.

ving the piezo or one of the new pick up's and drive and amping from the v5=
4 amp.


Yes, and if you do that, make sure you document what you do, make sure you
keep the parts removed, and make sure all this stuff is kept with the EMT
and not in some other place in the facility where it will become separated
someday.

Try it in mono and see. Pan the return a little bit to the side if you
want some stereo width. Think of the EMT as an effects device, not like
a room reverb.

If you actually want stereo spread on the reverb return, put an Orban
stereo synthesizer on the reverb. The effect holds up very well, and
the Orban units sell for next to nothing today.

You're probably not going to be using the plate on the 2-buss anyway, it's
mostly going to be used on isolated channels. The effect builds up and can
become very heavy-handed if you aren't careful.

anyway.one step at a time,powering the amp is the first real concern,it was=

Were all the caps replaced back then? If the original paper caps are in
there, now would be a good time to replace them with film caps. They will
not sound quite the same, but they also won't fail and take out other
components right and left the way the paper caps will. The electrolytics
in the power supply you can bring up slowly and hope they form properly.
If they don't, replace them. If you don't have a variac, use a 100W lamp
in series with the power cord for a couple hours to let the thing slowly
come up at lower voltage. Watch the rectifier, if it shows signs of getting
really hot, shut it down.

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

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

Jesus, just about every pop song for twenty years used it. Lots of them
overused it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx06XNfDvk0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN3GbF9Bx6E

Notice it's bouncy and clangy without being boingy and clattery like a spring.

You can make it darker than either of these examples but these are the
typical ones I can think of off the top of my head. Your other choice in
that era was a reverb chamber, like this one at Columbia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLfCnGVeL4

Notice it's less boingy, sounds much more like a real room, but it doesn't
give you the cool exaggerated articulation of the plate.

--Oh these EMTs. I wish there existed an "Anti-EMT Plugin" today

Anyhow, turntables and 140 plates were battlehorses of EMT. Later came
the transportable EMT 240 gold foil plate (it seems that people didn't
like it as the as the 140), followed by electronic and digital
reverbs. The digital 250 was priced about 30 thousand Deutsch Marks
which was very much in that time. Universal Audio makes an
emulation:--
http://www.uaudio.com/store/reverbs/emt-250.html

There were mono, stereo and qoadrophonic versions of the 140.

The stereo 140 was dealing with with "M" componet of a M-S matrix
only. For better understanding, I'll write down the original
description:

"For the addition of reverberation to stereophonic recordings, the
reverberation unit must satisfy two separate conditions:
For one, it must extract from the stereo signal its directional
component
and secondly, it must not, as a result, adverserly affect the
signficant information content.

In order to achieve this end, use is made of the so-called "M" channel
which is formed by the addition of the two signals according to the
formula A + B = M.

This is done by feeding part of the unreverberated output signal of
channels A and B trough isolation networks to a common bus. For
compatibly recorded signals this addition of A and B into an "M"
channel produces a proper monophonic signals containing all of the
informational content of the stereo signals.

Etc etc. What a hitech language. Therefore I'd say,

1. Leave the 140 as it is if it's working properly.

2. Use a M/S matrix.

3. Process the "M" trough the 140.

4. Recombine the stereo again.

5. Fertig.

Of course, meanwhile you keep the extracted "S" file ready and you
will note peak values of "M" and "S" file and keep them just as they
are, altering this would affect your stereo.

hey scott,,
thanks for the update,,i agree,i will deco try and keep it as original for a start,deco try a similar to Orban stereo synthesiser vibe.
any advice on the glue i could use on regaling the dampening tiles?
lots have come unglued.
also i'll show your post to the tech that works on it,,

Go to your auto parts store, ask for 3M weatherstripping adhesive. It is a
similar contact cement to the original. The 3M comes in black or yellow,
both are very tenacious and you will never get them off of your pants.

also i'll show your post to the tech that works on it,,
regards and thanks


If he is an old fart he probably knows all that stuff already. If he isn't
an old fart, find someone who is.
