Lexicon® 224 Digital Reverb
-
An era-defining digital reverb.
From the moment it was unleashed in 1978, the Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb — with its tactile, slider-based controller and famously lush reverb tail — single-handedly defined the sound of an entire era.
From Talking Heads' Remain In Light to U2's The Unforgettable Fire, the Lexicon 224 remains one of the most popular digital reverb units of all time. Now you can track and mix with this singular piece of audio history with the Lexicon 224 Reverb plug-in.Included Versions

UAD Quick Tips
In this video, learn how to thicken lead vocals, tighten up drum loops, and give synths stunning ambience with the Lexicon 224.
A Breakthrough in Emulation
Using the exact algorithms and control processor code from the original hardware, the Lexicon 224 plug-in precisely captures all eight legendary reverb programs and the chorus program — based on the Lexicon 224's final and hard-to-find firmware version 4.4. The Lexicon 224 plug-in also incorporates the original hardware’s input transformers and early AD/DA 12-bit gain stepping converters.
Easy Navigation
Every parameter from the original hardware is present in the Lexicon 224 plug-in, and exposed as dedicated sliders and buttons. Lexicon’s distinctive Bass/Mid “split decay” adjustments and Crossover control set the highly tunable reverb image, while the Treble Decay rolls off high frequencies. Use the Depth control to adjust the distance between source and reverb, while Predelay produces a short delay between the sound source and the onset of reverberation. Diffusion affects how quickly the echo density in the reverb builds up over time.
Modeled to the Last Detail
For total authenticity, the UA-exclusive System Noise control enables or disables the inherent dynamic system noise of the original Lexicon 224 hardware — removing the modeled gain stepping, parameter zippering, and quiescent noise. Clicking the “Open” text to the right of the display panel exposes several hidden controls, including Input/Output gain and Pitch Shift, and even a selectable “Bug Fix” mode which enables/disables historical bug fixes from the Hall B and Chorus programs. Taken together, the Lexicon 224 plug-in is the world’s most authentic model of a true studio classic.
“My love affair with the Lexicon 224 continues unabated. UA has done a tremendous job bringing this original classic into the software realm.”
– Kevin Killen (U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush)“The UAD Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb is stunning on vocals. It brings dynamics, without smearing anything. It breathes magic into a track.”
– Armin Van Buuren“I can remember the first time I heard a Lexicon 224, the excitement from that huge sound and its haunting beauty. When I listen to this plug-in I'm transported to that place.”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)“Warm, lush and detailed with the right amount of vintage is the perfect way to describe the UAD Lexicon 224. ”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Estelle)“The UAD Lexicon 224 plug-in is excellent for fattening up sounds.”
– The Glitch Mob“I'm very familiar with how the Lexicon 224 sounds and the UAD plug‑in is an amazing replication!”
– Jeff Balding (Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Florida Georgia Line)Watch The Reviews

Amazing quality, no bullshit
When you buy a universal audio product you get an assurance that no matter if it's an emulation of an amp or simulation of any popular studio outboard gear, it will be the close second or sometimes even better and Lexicon 224 is no different. I never had a chance to work with this amazing hardware equipment but I have heard this quite a lot, thanks to UA I now have a similar reverb in my studio too.

Amazing Reverb Machine
It sounds so natural like things I've already known, beautiful placement of the reverb on your mix without headaches, just select a good preset and let the Lexicon 224 do its work.

Lexicon 224: My Favorite reverb
I probably own almost every reverb plugin there is but I was never able to get the sound that I desired up until now. First of all Lexicon has a totally different sound than other reverbs. The Lexicon 224 is the reverb that had been used by most of the 70s and Early 80s. And the reason I like it most is the flexibility. Also The plugin offers the same digital Lexicon Sound from the hardware version. The UAD Lexicon 224 is now my go to reverb of choice.

Clean and dimensional

It’s awesome!!!)))
It seems to stick to the sound and everything sounds monolithic, when most reverbs sound separately! Must Have!!!)))

Brilliant reverb
Really enjoying this reverb from USD. Very lush and sounds great on a multitude of instruments. Some nice presets included to give you an idea on different ways to use the reverb. Thanks!

True Sound
A great Lexicon vibe and sound. Just a little goes a long way on Vocals and Acoustic Guitars. Being able to adjust parameters under the hood is a plus.

17 % DSP !!!! and what a deal, YAY !!!!
when i first got on board with UA i didn't know about coupons, or sales, or DSP ( finially found the DSP Chart in support after spending about $1,700 ) .... i have the 480L, and love it, but more as a post bounce in place staple DAW bus verb, because it's a DSP Hog .... i needed a good tracking comfort verb, but told my self i would get by with the feebees that came with my hardware, even though i, oddly, like digital plates better than physically modeled plates for some reason .... so yeah, i had been eyeballing the 224, but it wasn't even on my wish list....then i saw the offer i could not refuse, and i couldn't be happier.
