Reverb on Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues new

Hi everyone!

I'm amazed by the reverb on Helplessness Blues, by Fleet Foxes. I'd like to recreate this kind of reverb for my band's album, but I don't know how to do it. I guess it might be a rack unit, rather than a plug-in,but... could someone tell me some tricks to get something similar to this?

Thanks is advance. Regards from Madrid,

Carloignacio

You're in luck; SOS featured this album last year...

A "good old noisy" EMT plate was apparently the favourite.

(If you use a convolution reverb like Altiverb you should be able to dig out impulse response files for stuff like that.)

I'd have said EMT plate. And a rather annoying tape warble on the guitar (I had a Walkman that did that when it got old).
