Software Compatibility

You'll need an iLok copy protection device in order to use this software. If you already have one, you're good to go. If you don't, you can buy one here. An iLok is a small USB gadget (about the size of a thumb drive) that plugs into your computer. It "unlocks" the software, allowing you to use it.

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

The Reverb Used On Countless Classic Recordings

Relab Development's LX480 Complete is an emulation of one of the best-sounding reverb boxes ever built. It faithfully captures the sound of the classic hardware and equips you with additional features not found on the original. It has been upgraded with higher-density algorithms, quick controls, and a customizable display. You also get continuous controls, flexible filters for improved sound shaping, more ER delay lines, stereo manipulation, and 88.2KHz and 96KHz support. Beyond that, dual-engine configurations produce a wide-sounding ambience that must be heard to be believed. LX480 Complete injects your projects with the reverb used on countless hit recordings.

This product requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key. Please call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

Inject your projects with classic reverb algorithms

LX480 Complete supplies you with an array of classic reverb algorithms, including Random Hall, Hall, Room/Plate, Random Ambience, and Twin Delays. These faithful re-creations have been further enhanced with higher-density algorithms, quick controls, and a customizable display. LX480 Complete goes beyond simple emulation, it actually employs the exact same reverb technology as the original hardware. At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the meticulous attention to detail Relab Development put into LX480 Complete.

Exclusive features that surpass the original hardware

LX480 Complete makes the most of modern plug-in functionality with exclusive features that the original hardware unit didn't have. You'll benefit from continuous controls, flexible and additional filter structures for better sound shaping, more ER delay lines, stereo manipulation, 88.2KHz and 96KHz support, and more. Choose between single, cascade, mono split, and stereo split dual-engine configurations to create ultra-wide reverbs. Classic-sounding reverbs with modern features — what more could you ask for?

Tweak the plug-in's appearance with a customizable display

If you're familiar with the original hardware's remote control, you'll find LX480 Complete's user interface to be very familiar. Gaining extra visual feedback and control/editing capabilities makes operating this plug-in a breeze. You're not pigeonholed into a static GUI, however. LX480 Complete's customizable display includes sliders for hue, color saturation, brightness, reflection amount, and backlighting. You can also modify the reflection type and background graphic. Whatever your preferences, you can tweak LX480 Complete's appearance until your eyes are relaxed and happy.

Relab Development LX480 Complete Reverb Plug-in

As an "old schooler" and being trained on the SSL Consoles, this was my all time favorite reverb. Once I learned how to manipulate the settings and get that perfect big round space around my vocals and anything else, I hardly used anything else. Now to have it as a plugin along with all my SSl plugins, it's like I'm home again. I use my ears to get that warm 2 inch tape with the Studer reel to reel sound and it's back to 1980 for me! Awesome plugin and works and sounds very very close to the original, if you know what your listening for.
I'am Sean "Barney Rubble" Thomas; one of the original staff producers/ programmers and keyboardist from Death Row Records - also signed to Quincy Jones label Qwest Records/ Warner Brothers as a producer/artist - signed as an writer/artist and producer to Reactive Music in Stockholm Sweden under Warner Chappell - to now owner of my own label Higher Ground 44 Records with music and artists here as well as the UK.
Love the Sweetwater staff and doing business with you all is always a breeze..incredible support and knowledge of products...blessings to you!

The Holy Grail

The Lexicon 480 is the holy grail of reverbs. Best plugin yet that I have in my tool box for the simple reason that it sounds and acts like the hardware version that people like me could never afford. Everything that I put it on such as drums, guitars, and vocals sound like what I have been hearing since the first hardware version was introduced. It's easy to get to that place and to not worry that it wont improve what I have already recorded.

Amazing reverb!

This is now my go to reverb if I want that retro sound. It replicates it to near perfection. The hardware version is still out of reach for most people, and is sought after. For good reason. The plug-in gets as close as it gets.

This is very, very expensive! So make sure this is what you need before you plunk money down.
