Great Emulation of A Classic
Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, I had the pleasure of experiencing the real deal 224 XL. This plug brings back memories of the lushness of Lexicon classics. Like the hardware, you have to work it and I would say that this is not the reverb to use if you're looking for easy ambient realism per se. This is an impressionistic reverb with a fingerprint. The included presets are great starting points but it's important to dig in and learn the unit. That's why I give it 4 stars. My experience with the HW was an artist so I never learned the in's and out's of its operation but I'm learning it now and love it. I wouldn't make this my only reverb but it's a must-have for your sonic arsenal.
UAudio does it again! Thanks.

Presence and clarity
There is a very clear sense in this reverb.
And I feel the dense depth.
Really, really, nice.

Great For Drums
This compressor/limiter is great on anything that has a great dynamac rage like drums or bass. Favorite application is on snare drum!

Best Verb Out
This blows all plugin verbs out of the water, hands down. I was an Altiverb fan, but now I'm proud to say I'm a HUGE fan of the 224.

LOVE!
Demo this reverb and you'll end up buying it.
My favorite reverb plugin together with the emt 140.

All glory to the lexicon
(Disclaimer: this plugin may attempt to brainwash you and tell you to do horrible things to others, this is normal and should be ignored)
Bow your head lowly dog, for when your ears first hear even the faintest whisper of this plugin it will be all over. You will instantly turn into a tone snob, wondering how you could have ever thought those "other" reverb plugs even sounded good. Eventually it will take hold of your soul as well and you'll wake up in a daze at 2:34 AM only to find you were going back through all of your old mixes and replacing the reverb in your sleep. The lexicon is essentially God condensed into zeroes and ones. I eat breakfast with it every morning. I hope it lets me go outside today.

Cant live without it!
I haven't used the original hard ware unit but I've always struggled to get warm, lush ITB/digital reverbs until now! I use this on every mix without fail along side the EMT 140. I haven't wanted for anything else since (although I've just got the Ocean Way studio's plug which is working amazingly as an insert with the 224 on my send's). A must have plug.

Great Compressor
UA has captured a classic. One of my favorite compressors. Very versatile.
J. Earp
It's actually superb
This is actually a fantastic emulation of the 224. It does the same 'thing' that the hardware version does, so if you're looking for that specific 224 flavour, you'll get it from this. Being digital, I find the plugin has maybe more top end than the hardware but a little high frequency roll off tames the high end and makes this plugin sound more like the hardware. Brilliant, brilliant bit of kit.

Great Plugin
Nice - simple and effective. Great for sopranos to tame that stray note or two. Very happy with the purchase.
S. Cohen
Love It!
I was just in the studio with the hardware version of the 224. I A/B-ed it with the plug-in. In a fairly sparse mix, nobody in the room could tell the difference. UAD rocks again.

Alex.
Having purchased a Lexicon unit years ago for live sound I realised the quality of sound the company offered.
The Lexicon 224 plug-in is everything I have dreamed of in a reverb unit.Ease of use and great presets.
A well earned 5 stars.
G. Perkins
Great reverb - easy to use!
This reverb is so musical and easy to use. It's easy to dial in a sound real quick and also deep dive if more time is available. No matter what I've thrown it - a tight room sound or a lush hall, it's performed with such ease and is a true pleasure to use.
M. Tatem
My dream Reverb has become reality!
A loyal Lexicon user for many years. I never thought I could afford or own a reverb of this quality! Now I do!!! I swear it sounds good on pretty much anything! UA has done it again! Very happy customer!!

With this plug-in and not being able to use other plug-ins rigorous
The very warm reverb

Lexicon 224 Review
I have had a good 3-4 years doing some score work at a studio that has a hardware Lexicon 224. When I first started using it, I found it to be harsh and unnatural. then I realized that its more of a Aux effect than a insert.
UAD did a excellent job on this plug in. I actually called up some of my old drum mixes, which I had done with the hardware and compared it to some of the sounds I'm getting now. Spot on! Like most UAD plug ins, even if the hardware was sitting on top of my mixing desk, I'd would likely just go with the plug in.
Highly recommend this to any that have experience with this unit. Again this isn't your "workhorse" reverb that you can use on everything but it does what it does very well!
Cheers UAD!

Lexicon 224
It's been since the early eighties that I've had the pleasure of working with a 224.
Getting the plug-in was like seeing an old friend that you've not seen in a very long time!
Awesome Reverb!
C. Tambascio
Great Reverb BUT expensive
This is one of the more expensive verbs I own and I got it on sale. Great for room emulation. Very smooth and great tail. I gave it 4 stars because it is hard to work with to get sounds. Maybe as I work with it more I will develop more presets but I like the EMT250 better.
D. Huang
Nice reverb
I don't have this hardware before, but compare to my other reverb plugins. This is the best reverb I got . it's kinda pricy, but I don't regret to but iy.
