Reverb on "10 Ribs"

I'm hoping someone can answer this...is that digital reverb on "10 Ribs"? I had a Roland keyboard with the exact same reverb. That would be pretty cool for 1976.

Highly unlikely. 

The final mixes for Presence were completed in November 1975. The first commercially available digital reverb unit, the EMT 250, wasn't available until 1976.

Because it's an outtake It's possible that '10 Ribs' wasn't actually mixed until the remasters were released. However,  all of the other extra tracks that were released were either reference mixes or alternative mixes from the archives, and there's been nothing to suggest otherwise about '10 ribs'.

I think that the only studio track to be actually mixed since the release of CODA is 'baby come on home'.

Thanks. The first digital reverb rolled out in 1976? I learned 2 things today. Listening to '10 ribs' right now. This could've been a brilliant song if they worked on it.
