I'm really looking for the right long organic "bloom" that i can even put louder than the direct signal if wanted.
If i interpreted your posts correctly this drops the EMT 140 as it's great initially but doesn't do the long bloom very well (correct me if i'm wrong here)
It also drops the EMT 251 as I can not live with the idea that it has a similar sound to the EMT 250 (which i can't afford yet but working hard to be able to one day) but smaller. Too bad though as it's defenately the best looking of them all 
The AKG BX-20 is allready on my wishlist and when i run into one at the right price i'll defenately buy it, but this is besides the reverb i'm looking for now which is not the spring sound.
This leaves the Lexicon 224 or 224X which i know i really like.
I read fletcher saying many times the 224XL lost the constant density plates which are really great and the XL goes more in the direction of the 480 soundwise whose sound i'm not looking for. So i'm looking at the X version or the first 224 version. Still not clear though what the difference is between their sound.
Or the AMS RMX 16.
Great to hear it might sound better than a Lexicon 224 and has a distinct unique sound. But i can't find any info for it on the internet, been searching for hours to find samples or a song which clearly shows the ambience program sound.
Anybody know of any songs or samples of it? Or is willing to run a snare or something through a long ambience program setting and post it here?
Once i have the main "bloom" reverb i will defenately experiment with a different initial reverb as you suggest Thrill, thanks.
You're suggesting those specific delays for use as a predelay because of their specific colour? Because those reverbs allready have their own predelay built in right? |
Hi,
the 224XL is the same as the 224X, but has a LARC instead of the blue remote.
The 224XL has the constant density plates, labeled CD PLATE in the plates bank.
As much as I like the CD plate, I like the constand density plate in an Yamaha REV1 better.
To hear the ambient alg., on the RMX16, just listen to the Celine Dion stuff, that vocal verb is pretty much all AMS Ambience.
