5-Min UAD Tip
In this video, learn how to inject space and dimension to lead vocals and guitars, as well as unique effects on background vocals.
A Digital Classic
The result of an intense, multi-year engineering effort — from poring over an impossible-to-find service manual, to studying an all-original "Golden Unit" — the Lexicon 480L Digital Reverb and Effects plug-in dutifully captures the complex space, texture, and otherworldly reverb tails that can enhance or transform vocal, guitar, synth, or drum tracks from mundane to heavenly.
Infinite Flexibility
Shimmering or dense, immediate or blooming, the 480L lets you create almost any space using Shape and Spread parameters, combined with Lexicon’s famed Split Decay Reverb algorithms. Adjust the Random algorithm's innovative Spin and Wander parameters to customize the movement in the 480L's famously long reverb tails. Or use the Ambience algorithm to add natural space and dimension, without losing the definition of instruments.
Stunning Multi-Effects
In addition to Lexicon's prized reverbs, the 480L plug-in's random time-varying "Effects" algorithm — available for the first time ever — lets you explore dramatic reverse, doubling, tremolo and chorus sounds. Combined with its unique four-voice Twin Delay algorithm, the Effects algorithm turns the 480L into a versatile multi-effects system with unending creative potential.
Better Workflow
Ask any veteran engineer, and they'll tell you the Lexicon 480L's iconic Lexicon Alphanumeric Remote Control ("LARC") wasn't the easiest interface to grasp. Thankfully, the plug-in gives you an expanded parameter display, making its original controls easier to understand. Other workflow enhancements include simple A/B toggling of reverb machines, Input/Output Gain and Gain Link controls, as well as direct access to signal routing and metering.
Grammy-Winning Presets
The Lexicon 480L plug-in includes over 100 artist presets from Grammy-winning 480L power users such as Spike Stent (Beyoncé, Madonna), Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Nine Inch Nails), Ian Boxill (Janet Jackson, Quincy Jones), Jacknife Lee (The Killers, U2), and more, giving you a head start on your own mixes.
“This is a beautiful recreation of a truly wonderful reverb. It’s very musical and like a lot of great pieces, it’s deep. You can get lost in it if you have the time.”
– Jacknife Lee (R.E.M, The Cars, Snow Patrol)
“The Lexicon 480L's ‘Shape’ and ‘Spread’ parameters are the ultimate reverb sculpting tools. It's amazing to finally have the 480L available as a plug-in. ”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)
“The UAD Lexicon 480L gives 90’s mojo in plug-in form — the sound is indistinguishable from the original hardware.”
– Ian Boxill (Lenny White, Prince, 2Pac)
“The UAD Lexicon 480L really captures the subtleties of the old-school hardware. You can’t get this anywhere else — unless you source a vintage 480.”
– Eli Janney (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Wilco, Ryan Adams)Customer Reviews

I love this Reverb for spherical lap steel sounds!

Super cleaner Sound
Das ist wirklich ein cooles Plug in. Allerdings muss man dazusagen das es nicht so einfach in der Bedienung ist. Die Presets sind so gut programmiert das man schnell mit etwas nachbearbeiten den Sound findet den man sucht.

A solid, great sounding reverb unit that is finally in my collection. It will stay parked next to the 224L in the aux returns of my mix template.
