Immerse Yourself In Rich Reverb Luxury Today! (Without Breaking The Bank)
The original 1986 hardware was met with much praise, and many still regard it as one of the finest reverbs ever created. At the time, it cost a whopping $20 000 (that’s more than $50 000 today!)
There was an additional 6 years spent researched and developing updates, with a final software upgrade (V4.10) in the early 90s.
Even though prices have dropped over the years for used units, the original hardware still fetches around $5000.
Luckily, the Relab Development team managed to get their hands on an immaculately maintained “golden unit” from the famous Hit Factory in NYC.
And now they’ve made it possible for you to enjoy one of the finest reverbs ever created, at a fraction of the cost and get the exact sound you’re looking for, without compromise.
