Introducing the Relab Reverb Suite, recreating two of the most influential reverbs of all time
Reverb is probably one of the most important effects in the world of professional mixing.
Making your mix sound professional is one of the biggest challenges facing new and aspiring mixers.
Everybody knows a top quality mix when they hear it, but it’s difficult (particularly for beginners) to know exactly what separates the best mixes from all the rest.
So, what’s the secret ingredient that makes professional mixes sound so special?
The Answer Is Reverb...
Reverb appears in almost every professional studio, and recording environment.
The reason it’s so commonly used, is because of how incredibly powerful it is.
With the reverb effect you can take a dead sounding mix and bring it completely to life.
It’s the go-to effect for professional mixers and when you know how to use it, the difference it can make to a mix is absolutely incredible…
But Not All Reverbs Are Created Equal…
Professional engineers have long known how important reverb can be to creating an incredible sounding mix.
But the wrong reverb can very easily overwhelm your mix, and just end up drowning out the song you were just trying to enhance in the first place.
How do you choose the right Reverb?
Two of the best reverbs in history are the Lexicon 480L and the TC Electronic 6000.
These have been considered industry standard for a very long time and are used by professional recording studios all over the world.
If you want your music to sound as good as it possibly can, then you’ll want to be using one of these two.
There’s just one problem...
Neither of them is exactly cheap.
Right now, on the second hand market, either one of these could easily set you back upwards of $4,000 US.
Unless you’re topping the charts, that’s probably a bit outside your budget for a single effect.
For a long time, this was a huge problem for amateur musicians. There was simply no way they could spend time using a reverb of this kind of quality.
They just couldn’t afford it.
Until Now…
The engineers at Relab Development knew there was a problem. They realized that many engineers simply never got to use these high-end reverbs because of the cost.
So, they set about to create a solution...
And they understood that if they could develop accurate plug-in models of these world-class reverbs, then they could make their legendary sound accessible to everyone - at an affordable price.
Introducing the Relab Reverb Suite
The Relab Essential Reverb Suite provides both the professional and home studio with the ultimate “Main Reverb” suite of reverb effects.
This unique plug-in bundle contains an amazing palette of simulated rooms from natural sounding spaces to emulations of vintage reverbs and classic plates giving you access to the same sounds that have been used on countless productions for years.
It’s the perfect companion to anyone’s plug-in collection.
The Relab Reverb Suite features plug-ins modelled after two legendary reverbs:
LX480 Complete
For over two decades, the Lexicon 480L Digital Effects System** has been the standard by which all other signal processors are measured. At one point, Lexicon processing was used by over 80% of all record companies for mixing and mastering.
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. There is little else that compares to the sound of a Lexicon.
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 Complete plug-in is the most accurate emulation to date of Lexicon’s legendary 480L Digital Effects System. Not only does the LX480 give you what is widely considered to be one of the best reverbs ever built, but it also improves on the iconic 480L hardware model by introducing higher density modes and other functions not found on the original.
The LX480 is offering that same distinctive, smooth, rich “Lexicon Sound”

VSR S24
The T.C. Electronic System 6000** is as high-end as it gets. TC's ultimate reverb processor redefined what it meant to be an industry standard. The original System 6000 was an industry milestone, and it was honored with the prestigious TEC award in 2000.
Over thirty man-years of development time was put into creating the VSS reverb algorithms, and the results spoke for themselves with remarkably realistic acoustic environments which incorporate accurate positional information in the reflections, ideal for naturalistic music and post-production applications.
The Relab VSR S24 painstakingly recreates every characteristic of the world-class TC Electronic System 6000 with added enhanced parameter ranges for infinite creativity. VSR S24 excels at applying ‘prettier than life’ reverberation to many sources of a mix or complete stereo/multichannel stems.
VSR S24 is an exhaustive stereo emulation of the iconic high-end TC Electronic VSS6.1 algorithm for both music and post productions. Relab has painstakingly captured every quirk and characteristic of this complex and inspiring hardware. The VSR S24 plugin goes far beyond the original hardware by using the exact same reverb technology and introducing a true stereo reverb operation mode and functions not found on the original.
VSR S24 excels at applying ‘prettier than life’ reverberation to many sources of a mix or complete stereo/multichannel stems. It adds complex Early Reflection as well as an incredible uncorrelated diffused reverberation to the signal. VSR S24 is the first professional reverb with multiple selectable reverberation engines which can completely change the overall spaciousness, color and reverb characteristics to simulate any environment accurately.
