Exclusively for Apollo audio interfaces and UAD hardware, the AMS DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter is the only plug‑in that gives you the authentic sound of the rare AMS hardware.Now You Can:

An Era-Defining Studio Processor
Upon its introduction, the AMS DMX was hailed as a digital wonder. Featuring two independent delay channels, just over six seconds of delay time, and groundbreaking “de‑glitched” pitch shifting, its signature ambience gave artists characterful doubling, delay, chorus, pitch shift, and ambient effects, from the '80s, to this day.

My new doubler FX
It's a great tool to tick the vocal and ad chorus, dimension, width....to any instrument. Very very useful to use as a creative tool as well

Useful to Add Depth and Character
A ringer for the analog version, the DMX is useful for adding big texture, but also for adding depth and presence to thicken vocals. I use it lots, but not always in an overt way.

Takes me right back into the 80s
I love this delay, instant 80s vocal vibes. Like it on guitars and drums equally. Also nice to add ambience (delays) for that reverby, roomy sound. Not doing a mix without it....

The Missing Link!
This is the sound I was missing on my vocals. I’ve been hearing on records for years. I tried to make it happen with other plugins but could never get it to sound like what I was hearing. I knew the moment I added it to tracks. My clients love it.
Now I can kick it like the big dogs. Works great on just about everything!D. van Haarlem

I've waited a long time hoping this would come out on UAD. Now it's here and it's truly the business! I Would’ve jumped in just for this one plugin but there's sooooo much more like the 480, Capitol Chambers, 224 and many other great titles. If your on UAD you're truly spoilt!

Back to the future
Instant 80’s vibe - and beyond, of course. Specially when paired with the RMX16, this toy can do real magic creating dimension and depth like no other plugins. Tasteful!

Splendid!
Exactly the sound I’ve been looking for, for 40 years.

Finally!
I wish I had this unit to play with on the last few albums I made! It really was the sound we were looking for. I made heroic attempts to get a similar result by daisy-chaining different plug-ins and hardware. And it almost worked. These days the AMS DMX is always the first slot on my stereo bus! (just kidding... though actually...)

Software is broken -- cannot be installed
I cannot install the latest UAD software, so therefore cannot use this plugin I bought. Tech support is no help. Having spent over $10k on UAD stuff, this is very very disappointing. The software WAS installed a while back, then became corrupted spontaneously. This is not the kind of service I expected from UAD. For these prices, they should be able to fix installation issues. This is not acceptable.

Amazing stereo effects
They did a great job with the presets on this one. So far, my favorite use is stereo-doubling with a short delay... the depth is incredible! While it can do crazy stuff, it is perfection for subtle widening and enlarging sounds
S. Trador
I love this thing!
I think I've used this on every mix since I got it. Adding a subtle effect this can give to any track is a game changer.
F. Del Monte
The sound of radio!
After setting this up on vocals it sounds like what I hear on so many styles of music! A true classic reborn!
B. Dawson
Amazing
The AMS Delay and Pitch shifter is an instant radio vocal sound. Can be used subtley for slight stereo shift effect or heavily for some full blown modulation and space age craziness. Awesome

Powaaaa :-D
Powerful plugin !
