LX480 Essentials

Based on FOUR of Relab’s best-in-class reverb algorithm emulations of one of the most widely-used algorithmic reverbs ever built, you can now transform your tracks with the rich complex textures, and lush spacious reverb tails that only the Relab LX480 can deliver.

• Fat Plate - What the 480 was famous for – lush, rich, shiny plates without any mix clutter. Designed to emulate the sounds of metal plates, with a relatively bright, colored sound. Great for vocals and percussion.
• Medium Hall - One of the most traditional reverb sounds, this classic favourite was designed to emulate a real medium-sized hall. Great for giving tracks a sense of belonging to the same space with a smooth and even decay.
• Small Ambience - Designed to become a part of the direct sound, the ambience algorithm is very effective in adding distance to a very dry sounding track. Great for really short drum rooms, and for an impression that is more felt than heard.
• Large Wood Room - Designed to emulate coloured sounding spaces, the room is typically less noticeable than a Hall. This algorithm can be effectively used to create the sense of space, without being overtly distinguishable. Great for film, TV and all genres of music production.

The original 1986 hardware was met with much praise, and many still regard it as one of the finest reverbs ever created. At the time, it cost a whopping $20 000 (that’s more than $50 000 today!) There was an additional 6 years spent researched and developing updates, with a final software upgrade (V4.10) in the early 90s. Even though prices have dropped over the years for used units, the original hardware still fetches around $5000.

And now we’ve made it possible for you to enjoy one of the finest reverbs ever created, at a fraction of the cost and get the exact sound you’re looking for, in a fast and easy to use streamlined version.
