The Reverb Used On Countless Classic Recordings The original 480 hardware reverb was introduced in 1986 and has been used on countless chart-topping recordings. For over 3 decades it has been the “go to” reverb for top music producers and recording engineers worldwide. The 480 has been the standard by which all other reverb processors have been measured. Based On A True All Original "Golden Unit" For their LX480 Essentials plugin
  • Relab modelled one of the very best of the 480Ls ever – a true “golden unit”. Relab was lucky enough to acquire one of the original 480s from the Hit Factory in New York when they closed their doors. You can’t even begin to imagine the list of mixes on which this unit was used! This studio was home to sessions by John Lennon
  • Stevie Wonder
  • Bruce Springsteen
  • Beyoncé
  • Michael Jackson… The list is endless. It doesn’t get much more perfect or “golden” than that! And with the Relab LX480 Essentials you can now get that very same legendary reverb sound – natively in your DAW. <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" src="https: //w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/821787028&color=ff0000" width="70%"></iframe> Features The Relab LX480 Essentials faithfully recreates FOUR legendary reverb sounds of the 480L
