That, with a Modulation Delay, the impulses are sounding like the hardware.
The modulation is far more than simply a delay. The digidesign mod delay is capable of anything, ranging from a simply delay to complex chorusing. In this case, we used that to, audibly model, that of the EMT 252.

Don't get me wrong - all Acousticaaaaas work is fab - but they keep SELLING the fact they don't sound like the Hardware Units with out extra signal processing???

It is merely a matter of months, before you will find modulation possibilities in every modern convolution reverb.
We sat out to capture the EMT 252 hardware and make it sound like it. Not just to publish another set of IRs. The EMTs are becoming a rare commodity. Many of them are irreparable as the components are not being manufactured anymore. If the hardware fails, chances of repair are extremely slim, unless you have a spare EMT standing in the closet.
You dont
have to use the modulation effects if you dont want to. The sound is still amazing.
But at least, it is nice to know that you
can reach your beloved EMT sound, inside the DAW, even after the hardware fails.
The NON-LIN option does not require the modulation effect to sound like the hardware,
whereas the EMT 252 and EMT 250, latter in a greater extend, are requiring it.
We would warmly welcome, if convolution reverb manufacturers would, finally, come to sense and implement modulation features in their convolution reverbs. Lots of older reverberators, especially the EMT 250 had that chorusing effect when producing reverb. One cannot capture such, in an impulse response. However, there is a flip-side to that coin. When using the hardware, one cannot opt to turn off the chorus but one
can opt to do so with the impulse response by simply not using the modulation effect.
