An elegant weapon from a more civilised age
Sweet and warm enveloping sound that sits comfortably in the mix. Not as random or clumsy as the modern convolution reverbs. An elegant weapon from a more civilised age.

Can't live without it.
Through an unfortunate series of events, I recently lost the authorization for my Lexicon 224 and my Ampex ATR-102 plug ins. I was devastated. I have a huge arsenal of plug-ins from nearly every plug in manufacturer—over 40 reverbs—but I was unable to find any 'verb that sounded the same, or as good. I had no choice but to repurchase both plugs. I know this is supposed to recreate some 80's hardware unit, but really, it's the best sounding reverb I own, bar none. It's so smooth, you forget it's on the track. Take it away and you're scrambling to find a suitable replacement. It goes on sale once in a while, and when it does, do yourself a favor and get this plug. The ATR-102 is also great; I'll review it separately.

this is the absolute best software reverb i know.
just buy it. it's so responsive yet it will not overload your mixes, it has lots of "Air", also amazing controls, very detailed.
C. Zeileissen

blown my mind
Incredible. The tails are so full and have given my mixes that sound that I have been looking for, for years!

Playing with the BIG boys now with the Lexicon 224.
The Lexicon 224 immediately creates likeable spaces and environments that can be tailored to any mix. It's such an unmistakable sound and I my ears prick up with excitement when i hear it in tracks from years gone bye. We are really playing with the BIG boys now with toys like the 224.
Just love it !!! David Lynch www.diamondrecordings.com.au

Complex but Interesting
A beautiful reverb when you get it right. There are a lot of controls and you can do anything with it (you can also get it wrong). The presets are very helpful to keep you on the straight and narrow if you lose your way whilst fiddling. The Small Hall A setting is stunning.

224 - a real Lexicon!
What a great Reverb! Lovely lush sounds and deep spaces! Wonderful Pluggie!
M. Walker
Plug-in that is what it says it is !
Haven't used the real thing for a couple of years, this sounds as good as i remember. What more can i say...Amazing !!
P. Talbot
Amazing
I love the sound of this reverb. So realistic. For long reverbs it is astonishing, lush and warm, now I just need to make sure not to abuse it otherwise my mixes are going to sound like they've been done under the sea!

I watched the video for this and I was blown away. As always, I did the demo first to try it for myself and make sure it was something I could benefit from. There are tons of options on here and quite honestly I only listened to maybe 2 presets. The best suggestion is to set all of the controls at zero and start clicking buttons and adjusting sliders. While there are tons of options and endless ways to use it you will quickly realize how practical it is in usage and theory. I have the EMT reverb bundle and suddenly I rarely use them!

Simply Stunnig!!!
I did not have too many expectations about the 224 because of previous experiences with Lexicon emulations.
But this is serious stuff!
Easy to handle and great sounding preset.
It sits well in all my mixes.
Love it!
Well done UA :)

Lexicon 224 all round gorgeous
Vocalists I have recorded recently love to hear this reverb back through the headphones so now it has to be there all the time. For a simple recording of a singer with acoustic guitar accompaniment I used a single instance subtly applied on the master buss and it's all that was needed to give the finished track the right ambience. Haven't wanted to use any other reverb since I got this one.

Finally I have my own 224
And it works just like the real thing! I know, 'cause I have now used both. And together with my Apollo, this reverb is going to be stored in my ProTools presets.
Thank you UA for putting so much effort in making your fantastic plugins!

instant gratification
This is the most natural reverb I have ever heard! Wish I had it years ago!
M. Smith
Sounds like I remember
I've wanted a different reverb flavor for things other than natural modeled acoustic spaces, and you hit a grand slam with this one. I pulled up a few presets and was immediately in Peter Gabriel So land. That really expansive reverb with the modulation is absolutely beautiful. That being said I've used this on a few mixes with a shorter more natural tail and it has worked great. I have fond memories of the original and you guys have done an absolute great job on this one!

finally
haven't tried the Lexicon plug-ins but this is the first serious reverb plug i know.
The noise button is silly and freaked me out on some occasions.
S. Roberts
The Best I've used!
From the first moment I added it onto a track, I was in love! It is sooo musical sounding and being able to adjust what you can, makes it for me, OUTSTANDING. Very versatile and warm. I haven't used every reverb plugin on the market but from the ones I've used, by far the best sound.
A. Booty
Awesome!
1st time I tried it. Suddenly felt like the old days. Recording & mixing with the open reel, huge mixing desk & the lexicon controller in front of me. The most I like like about the Lexicon plugin is where you can control the noise. So I can get that big lexicon reverb sound without the headache of noise. Good job to the UA team for bringing it back to life!

Ok I am getting boring, there is no UAD plugin I dislike. The lexicon reverbs always been my favourite. Afcourse no way I can purchase the real machine, but this plugin, just makes me wet my pants. Rich full reverbs..... try it, listen to the demo, these give a pretty good impression how the plugin sounds.
