      Universal Audio does it again

      Produced in the late 1960s, The AKG BX20 reverberation unit was, has been one of the most popular spring reverb units ever made. Known for its lush and warm sounding plates, the BX20 was often used for Vocals and Guitars, electric guitars for the most part. The unit sits in a huge wooden box.

       

       

      I would say the best way to compare this to some thing would be to say this is an analog reverb versus our digital reverb. Used to be the only single reverb most studios we have back in the 1970’s. Again, because of its size, they are difficult to transport.

      For those of you who would like to hear how it sounds, the BX20 can be heard on Kings of Leon, Black Keys, and Jack White records.
