Exceptional as ever
I'm a not so proud owner of a physical AKG BX20, not so proud because due to the turnover of music I have to generate these days it's been sat there in the corner of the studio gathering dust... which is why I love this emulation so much, all the sound, all the warmth and character of the real thing... in a convenient plugin. Nice one again UA.

Perfect Dark/rock Reverb
I waited 6 moths to buy this reverb. it is a great one. A little dirty, not clean but beautiful for rock/vintage ambiances. I like it a lot!!!! A mus have...
R. Bouma
great color
the reason i got this one is the color of the 'verb. Great for e-guitar or vocal to create a certain color used in old school recording. Nothing else is like it.

As a guitar player
As a guitar player who grew up on spring reverbs this is the best sounding one I have ever had, and it is easy to work with. End of story.

spring time!!
ive been looking for a spring reverb emulation for a while. there are so many reverbs on the market, but not even one good for spring reverb. as a guitar player who likes to track guitars through the uad varaiety of guitar amps on the unison technology this reverb is the cherry on the cake.. lush and gentle and fool of depth and width... on vocals its just melting the words and makes a kind of emotional wrap around everything. thanx uad for another grail in the trophy room!!

Just amazed
I love this verb! I prefer it to my my PCM 90 plugin that was $1400 and better than H-Verb by Waves. It is so smooth and transparent,
It's as good as the best hard where reverb I've ever tried. Bravo UA!!

So good!!
I just finish a mix for film and the music was recorded using a vintage BX20. Some of the prints of the reverb where not done so I tried the plugin. For my surprise, the result was so formidable that I began to use the plugin for all sort of instruments and also , I used it for the reverbs for the surround channels of an orchecstra. So Nice sounding achievement!!

Stunning lush reverb
I wouldn't worry about the long decay - this is the sort of reverb I've been able to use fairly large amounts of and it never seems to fight with the source and cloud the intelligibility. Amazing on vocals, guitars, pads etc. The boingy springingness of an average spring reverb is simply not an issue here. It has the lushness of a big warm plate but with a character all its own.
This will find its way into every track. Amazing job, uad and akg.

In love
I'm in love with this spring reverb, I'm playing more and more guitar with this on, yeah I'm crazy. But this is the best spring reverb I ever used.
E. Falckenberg
Brilliant, lush reverb!
Certainly not for everything, but where it fits, it fits perfectly! Mostly we know spring reverbs from guitar amps, and frankly these usually sound, well, springy and grainy and very lo-fi.
The AKG spring reverb is just so much more refined and lush sounding!

Didn't want another reverb...but..
This reverb is a thing of beauty in the digital domain..
Didn't want to buy another reverb as I have a few... but after the demo it was too lush to refuse.
It envelopes the program material in a way no other digital reverb I have does..
Proper goto status.

Tasty Dark Verb
Perfect taste on guitars even bass (with aux send and low cut) and vocals. Not for every genre though.
H. Neff
Pretty sweet
I own both the 140 and the 224 and this is an excellent addition to the gang. Thanks for the sweetness!
C. Goodin
Awesome reverb!
The present add space and depth that not many plugin verbs come close to.

The best spring
I bought a lot of spring reverbs. Hoping to find the sound of the BX20.
Nothing like the real thing , only one is better and that is the UAD BX20.
The benefits of ITB but the sound of analog.
Great one I love it!

Space
The space from me to you, no matter where you are in the universe, is air. The space between instruments in a mix is verb.
This verb is great. I have a lot of verbs that do different things. This verb for Film is great. I've scored the Sports documentary about Allen iverson and you may detect some of this AKG in the score. I used it a bit before the demo ran out. LOL. Now that I've purchased it you here it on my Jazz Fun-K project Cori Jacobs Experience. I tried to turn Sly Stone ( My cousin) nto UAD but he isn't into engineering like I am. He does recognize a great sound though. I'm glad he is still with us. I've used my Duo thunderbolt to it's apex. time to look at the Quad.
Thank you for making my music so effervesce

True to the original
As you can expect from UAD, their recreation of the BX-20 is true to the original. We have one of these hardware units in our studio and this thing sounds just as good with less noise. The BX-20 is such a unique piece and it's awesome that UAD and AKG did this thing justice.
