Ok, a little Redline Reverb history lesson. The core algorithm was developed by Martijn Zwartjes (ex-Native Instruments) and made its first appearance a loooong time ago as the Rev-6 and Space Master Reaktor ensembles. After that he teamed up with Sonic Flavours, which resulted in the R66 plugin--discontinued a few years back. Redline Reverb is the 3rd incarnation of the algorithm, or more precisely: the continued development of said algorithm, with a new GUI, improved DSP algorithm, very low CPU load, new presets, and of course a native RTAS version. And rest assured that the current 1.0 release is not going to be the last installment of the series!

About the Lexicon references: as far as I know the algorithm is 100% original and was never *intended* to mimic any Lexicon model or even the Lexicon sound in general, but over the years a great many ppl commented on their resemblance in overall character--a lucky coincidence I suppose. Hence the references to the various Lexicon models in the presets--they were, shall we say, "inspired" on the hardware.

Peace,
