How to Use the Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb on your Productions

Add lush effects that defined an entire era of hit records.

In this video, UA's Matt Petersen shows you how to thicken lead vocals, tighten up drum loops, and give synths stunning ambience with the UAD Lexicon 224 plug-in.

Introduced in 1978, the 224 was the reverb that defined the sound of groundbreaking hit records. From Talking Heads' Remain In Light and U2's The Unforgettable Fire to Peter Gabriel's So and Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, the 224's lush reverb tail and spacious soundscapes make it one of the most popular digital effects units of all time.
