5-Minute UAD Tips
Das AKG BX 20 Spring Reverb Plug-In erklärt.
Unvergleichbare Dichte
Der unverwechselbare Charakter des AKG BX 20 macht es zu einem vielseitigen Werkzeug für zusätzliche Räumlichkeit und die Klangformung. Seine Klangeigenschaften bieten den schnellen Einsatz eines klassischen Plattenhalls und darüber hinaus die natürlich klingende Dichte und Streuung einer Hallkammer — dabei produziert es nur wenige Flatter- und „Boing“-Artefakte, mit denen man für gewöhnlich bei anderen Federhall-Geräten kämpft.
Entgegen anderer Federhall-Emulationen präsentiert Universal Audios einzige Plug-In-Variante dieses mechanisch kontrollierten, akustischen Raumsystems ein hybrides Design aus Delay-Netzwerk und Faltungshall. UA emulierte für die Realisierung ein makelloses BX 20 Referenzgerät des berühmten Produzenten Jon Brion bis ins letzte Detail.
Zeit zu federn
Das BX 20 Plug-In bildet das einzigartige Zweistufen-Decay der Hardware präzise ab. Es erzeugt warme, organische Sounds, egal ob auf Percussions, Gesang oder Gitarren. Es fügt eine einzigartige Klangfarbe hinzu, die einzelne Spuren aus einem Mix heraustreten lassen — oder diese vollständig mit dem Track verschmelzen. Kurze Texturen strotzen vor ausdrucksstarker Tiefe und Dimension, während längere Decays voll von üppiger Dreidimensionalität sind und dabei trotzdem nie verwaschen.
Neue Funktionen - mehr Kontrolle
Das BX 20 Plug-In bietet das komplette Sound-Repertoire des Originals und liefert zusätzlich neue "Mk II" Features für eine erweiterte Klangpalette. Tank Select präsentiert den exakten Sound des ursprünglichen A/B Zweikammernsystems, enthält darüber hinaus aber eine stereofähige Tank A oder Tank B Funktion für eine ausgewogenere Stereoabbildung.
Die Direct Function ermöglicht das Stummschalten des Kammer-Direktsignals für zusätzliche Kontrolle und die Minimierung von Konflikten mit Quellsignalen – ideal für den Einsatz auf Bussen. Die Klangregelung im Baxandall-Stil, die aus dem kleineren AKG BX 10 stammt, bietet die abschließende Finesse zur Anpassung deiner Reverbs.
“When I heard UA was emulating the AKG BX 20, I dared them to beat my hardware – they did it.”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)
“This is the vocal reverb sound I’ve had in my head for over 20 years. I will never mix without it again.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“I used the UAD AKG BX 20 plug-in during editing sessions for the new Missy Elliott single, "Where They From," produced by Pharrell. The tone instantly cut through on the vocals and percussion.”
– Mike Larson (Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg)User-Rezensionen

I thought this one was a good concept and I have been pushing for UAD to get a good Spring plugin. With that being said this one has the character, especially for darker songs, but I was expecting more control over the plugin. According to my friends this is basically a perfect emulation of the original, but I don't know. It would have it's usefulness, but not an every dayer, like the EMT 140, 250 or the Lexicon 224. It's cool in it's own way though.

D. McBride,

The sounds is quite beautiful and will be very inspiring for artists while tracking, especially Vx.
Will update after spending time with this.

Don't Fear The Reverb
There are only one or two plugins that I've purchased within literal seconds of hearing them, and UAD's AKG BX20 is one of them. Not only is this an amazingly realistic emulation plugin (I cannot tell that it is a plugin. It sounds exactly like the BX20 I used for many years), it is rich with options that were not available on the hardware - such as the mixing of tanks, the option of "direct" signal in/out, etc... Also worth noting are the absolutely stellar presets which are included. Generally, presets are viewed by me as a "starting point", but in several instances, the preset on offer was absolutely perfect without any tweaking! Amazing product, Universal Audio!! By far and away, the best reverb plugin I've ever heard!!
R. Virili
This one it's wonderfull
All your plugin and all your emulations from now on must be of this quality... fantastic :-)
and if the price is good, even better...
Great job.S. Chahley
Absolutely magical....
I own a large portion of the UAD plug in collection, and am a huge supporter - but this is the first time I've ever felt I needed to jump on here and review a plug in immediately after trying it out....I don't even own it (YET!)...
I was using my usual spring verb plugin stand-by on a pedal steel last night, and got the urge to put this guy into demo mode and see what the difference was.....
WOW!!! I can honestly say I almost cried! Suddenly the steel jumped to life in the mix, the emotion in the playing seemed so much more obvious....it sounded like the part was floating in a lush dreamy 3D soundscape. My jaw literally hit the floor! You've outdone yourselves, UAD emulation ninjas. Congratulations - this thing is next level....J. Klein
Stunning !
Never used the hardware but : Since now my alltime favourite reverb plugin was the EMT 140. Now UA brought me a new favourite, this is the kind of plugin I long for : it has a character, a unque fingerprint, and it´s easy to handle. Instant mojo. Really well done.
A. Link
Demo it against the EMT 140 and be amazed... "Spongey" indeed
The most vibey and wide reverb there is in the plugin world. Just enter a different time for L and R and add more gain to the channel with the shorter time. I've experimented with some ducking on the RVB bus (from the kick) and it sounds incredible. The modern additions to this plugin are very welcome and it's fantastic to have two tanks to choose from. You really have to try this one because the sound is very unique. It is pretty slanted to the mid-range but not in an annoying way, quite dark, and spongey. If you are working on moody rock or rnb I feel like you would probably want to get this one. Compare it to the EMT140 and choose, I'd go for the BX20 if I had to pick one. Just wish they'd put another coupon in my cart :)
M. Puigserver Barceló
Fantastic
Uad guys have done an amazing job. This reverb is wonderful! I've tried it in a couple of mixes with guitars and the space it creates is so natural that you really believe it was done with the hardware unit. A must have.
B. Schulz
The big deal
I love this reverb. This reverb is the only one I got to know so far that does not only sound very well.
This one you can feel. And believe me it feels fantastic.
My favourite reverb for vocals on ballads.
M. Hoomans
Finally a spring reverb plugin I like!
I have been playing with this reverb for a few days now, using it on guitar, drums, vocals and much more and every time it manages to add such a lovely warm space around the sound in such an unique way. I'm not going to say it will be my one and only reverb from now on, but it will be a very valuable addition to my reverb collection for sure, I can't wait to use it more often!

AKG BX 20 Spings of Smooooooothhhhhh........
Well I demo tested this baby along side the Lexicon 224 and the EMT 140 ( i have both ) and my question was, do I need another reverb plugin? Well the answer is yes, this one, I need the AKG BX 20. It's very different from the others, smoother, richer, definitely for vocals. This is like the LL Cool J of plugins......... worth the money, i have to buy it.
D. King
Mr. Zebedee!!
I have bought this already after 1 day of using the demo! Why put of the inevitable..
This sounds great and having stereo control over the two tank saves the usually two plugs and returns setup.
Sounds quite unique so well worth having in the tool box.
Nice UA
Thank you.
D. Riggs
A plugin you did not know you needed.
I've had so many spring reverbs that I have not liked in amps. Who needs another spring reverb, right! Wrong. This is a truly wonderful thing that really does add magic to your sound. A truly seamless wash of ambience behind a solo sound. I can't wait to experiment more with it.
S. Boman
Holy cow!!!
Finally!!! I've been wanting a proper spring reverb plugin for years and years.
And finally UAD set the bar where it should be.
I have a bunch of hardware springs(one AKG BX15)and this is the first plugin that gives them a run for their money!!
Well done UAD!!!!G. Myklebust
Heaven !
This is just a fantastic creation. Must be Heaven made !

Magical
It´s magic, musical and deep...Good Job UAD!

Best spring reverb plugin
This is a great spring emulation that in my opinion works best for kind of midrangey sounds that wants to swim a little. I can see myself using it for clean electric guitars, snare, a lonely trumpet or trombone and some voices, and maybe the occasional harmonica. I bet it works magic on a bariton guitar with some tremolo. Basically I bought it because I love to have options when it comes to creating space in a mix, and I like this one. A little quirky and weird, like a spring reverb should be. The added functions as a plugin compared to the real thing is highly welcomed.
