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.

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
E. Jegu
Powaaaa :-D
Powerful plugin !

Unknown Pleasure
I really do sound like Phil Collins now. And Brian Eno. And Radiohead. And Joy Division/Martin Hannet. And and and. This is a really great, UA. Useful in so many ways. Never known of such an 'unknown pleasure'.
B. Levick
Need a Time Machine
This plugin is so amazing on vocals and guitars I wish UA would give us a Time Machine so I could go back and add it to hundreds of my projects from the past 25 years. Best sounding, most fun and versatile effects unit ever!!!

This is Cool!!
This is soooo cool!! It's clean, and has the options for enhanced delay effects. It's gonna be my new 'go to' delay device.
