For over two decades, the Lexicon 480L Digital Effects System* has been the standard by which all other signal processors are measured. The Lexicon 480L* remains a popular choice among top producers for the most demanding tasks. Even today the Lexicon 480L* is widely considered as one of the best-sounding reverbs ever built.

When creating the first entry for their own product line, Relab Development decided to create the most accurate emulation that could replace this legendary hardware reverb. The LX480 plugin goes far beyond emulation by using the exact same reverb technology and introducing higher density modes and functions not found on the original.

The LX480 will set the new standard for reverb plugins in the future.

Interface

The user interface for the LX480 plugin is based closely on the LARC (Lexicon Alphanumeric Remote Control) from the original unit. If you’re familiar with the LARC, you’ll find operating the LX480 very comfortable, with the benefit of extra visual feedback and control and editing capabilities. The GUI is divided into:

 

the Display
the Preset and Setup Controls
the Function Keys
the Control Sliders and undo/redo buttons

Operation

Customization

Unique User Interface for advanced customization

The display is completely customizable with sliders for HUE, color saturation, brightness, reflection amount and back lighting. The reflection type and background graphic can be modified.

Four options allow you to specify the background graphics used for the LX480 Reverb GUI:

Normal: LARC–style.
Dirty: LARC–style with extra coffee drips and general wear and tear.
Dark: a dark version of the LARC style.
Custom: this option allows for a custom skin to be used.
