Developed by renowned physicist/engineer Dr. David Griesinger in 1978, the Lexicon 224 is the most ubiquitous and best-selling studio digital reverb ever made. The original 224 was a landmark achievement in digital reverb and served as the very product to put Lexicon on the studio map and a remote control on every console. The 224's Concert Hall A program is considered to be one of the finest reverbs ever made, and its plate programs practically defined the 80's drum sound.
The Lexicon 224 was well known for its spacey, extra long decays (up to 70 seconds) it used a fixed point processor, with a 16-bit word size, and a 20-bit saturating accumulator. The 224 had about 24 dB of headroom internally (4 times the max input volume).
