    Studio plate reverbs were modified in the 1950s to allow producers more control over reverb time, increasing flexibility. The first successful digital reverb, the EMT-250, was released in 1976 and allowed easier access to effects like chorus, phase, echo, and delay, though it only had one reverb sound. Lexicon's 224 digital reverb unit, released in 1978, became influential on many classic albums thanks to its "lush" reverb tail and eight reverb programs, helping establish the digital reverb as a key tool in music production.

    their impact on music production of the time
    The introduction of damping pads onto plate reverbs in 1957 with the release Elektro-Mess-Technik the 140
    plate reverb unit which allowed producers to control reverb time enabling flexibility within the hardware on
    application.
    The next great advance of reverberation technology is the creation of emulators and digital reverbs. The first
    ever commercially successful digital reverb was the EMT-250 which was released in 1976 by German company
    Elektro-mess-tecknik (even though only 250 were ever made). It was lever driven with extremely limited
    modulation effects including pre-delay controls and high and low frequency decay times. It also allowed easier
    access to effects such as; chorus, phase, echo and delay. However, it only ever had one reverb sound making it
    limited in its ability but also iconic in the reverb sound it made. This sound was a clear and open reverb sound
    which was used on countless records such as The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Stadium Arcadia.
    Two years later in 1976 Lexicon brought out their digital reverb unit which was the Lexicon 224. This served
    as a major player in the sound of highly influential classics such as Talking Heads' Remain In
    Light, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's The Message, Vangelis' incredible Blade Runner soundtrack,
    U2's Unforgettable Fire, and Peter Gabriel's So. It was a slider based control system with a recognisable lush
    reverb tail. This model used entire the entire analog circuit and digital path for total authenticity and included 8
    reverb programmes and one chorus program from Lexicon v.4.4 firmware
