UAD Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb – Digital Delivery

Lexicon 224: The Sound of an Era

• Iconic spatial processing: An ultra-accurate software emulation of the legendary 1978 Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb hardware unit.

• Era-defining character: Recreates the famously lush, shimmering reverb tail that single-handedly defined the sound of ’80s pop, rock, and ambient music.

• Hit record heritage: Delivers the exact digital space heard on seminal albums ranging from Talking Heads’ Remain In Light to U2’s The Unforgettable Fire.

• Authentic algorithm matching: Built using the precise source algorithms and original control processor code from the vintage hardware unit.

Rare Firmware & Converter Modeling

• Firmware version 4.4: Captures all eight legendary reverb programs and the specialized chorus program based on the final, rarest hardware firmware.

• Vintage gain-stepping: Fully emulates the physical input transformers and early 12-bit analog-to-digital (AD/DA) converters.

• Singular audio history: Accurately reproduces the unique digital grit, parameter zippering, and low-frequency warmth that modern algorithmic reverbs lack.

Intuitive Tactile Navigation

• Dedicated parameter sliders: Exposes every single control parameter from the physical remote unit as dedicated on-screen sliders and buttons.

• Split-decay architecture: Features the distinct Lexicon Bass/Mid split-decay adjustments matched with a highly flexible Crossover control.

• Precision soundstages: Use the global Treble Decay to smoothly roll off high frequencies and the Depth control to adjust the virtual distance between your source and the reverb tail.

• Density & pre-delay adjustments: Includes fully adjustable Predelay timers and a global Diffusion control to manipulate how quickly echo density builds up over time.

Obsessive Component-Level Enhancements

• Toggleable system noise: Features a UA-exclusive System Noise switch to enable or disable the inherent hardware idling noise, converter hiss, and gain stepping artifacts.

• Hidden expansion panel: Click the “Open” panel to uncover extra parameters, including Input/Output gain trims and Pitch Shift adjustments.

• Selectable Bug Fix switch: Includes a custom mode to turn historical firmware code bugs on or off inside the Hall B and Chorus programs for absolute vintage authenticity.

• Curated artist presets: Ships with production-ready master presets from historic Lexicon 224 users including Chuck Zwicky and Kevin Killen.
