The Quantec QRS vs QuantX by Relab
Most reverb emulations use static models that often ignore the hardware’s dynamic character. Building on the success of our popular LX480, and using a next-generation advanced machine learningframework and extensive analysis of millions of data points, we’re proudly setting new standards by capturing the true dynamic essence of the hardware with unmatched accuracy.
QuantX exceeds typical hardware emulations by meticulously re-creating not only the sound, but the ever-changing character of vintage gear, offering a living, and ever-evolving authentic quality.

Maximize Your Mix with Dual-Engine Reverb Control
QuantX’s unique dual-engine design combines two powerful reverb systems, each with its own set of four outputs, working in harmony.
This dual approach gives you the ability to fine-tune both the width and “front-to-back” depth of your reverb in real time.
With QuantX, you’ll enjoy the creative freedom of blending the distinct qualities of both modules in this twin-engine titan, ensuring your reverb always sits perfectly within the mix.
Timeless Reverb, Your Way...
Toggle between two unique reverb algorithms—a pristine, factory-spec German unit and a deeply characterful, time-worn US unit. With the Temperature Control knob, you can now emulate the evolution of sound from a cold startup to the warm, rich tones of a hardware unit left on for 72 hours. Your sound, your era, your choice.
QuantX 2.0 captures the essence of classic gear aging. The US algorithm faithfully recreates the quirks of an unstable crystal clock and aging components, while the German version delivers the stability and clarity of a freshly restored machine. Together, they offer sonic flexibility no competitor can match.
You’ll hear the difference from the first instant: precision, warmth, and a touch of hardware magic. With QuantX 2.0, your reverb evolves in real time, letting you craft timeless spaces for every sound.
Embracing Time's Imperfections in Plug-in Form
At Relab, our goal has always been to go beyond mere emulation. We strive to digitally recreate iconic hardware by capturing not only the sound but also the unique journey of a unit’s imperfections.
For the QuantX, we meticulously selected three exceptional units from the US, Japan, and Germany. While the German unit—renowned for its rich sound and minimal noise—set the standard for our pristine emulation, the US model brought a distinct warmth and evolving tonal character, driven by its aging components and less stable crystal clock. These quirks added a human-like unpredictability to its sound, a hallmark of vintage analog gear.
Over 12 months, we engaged in painstaking reverse engineering, collaborating with veteran engineers to restore the German unit to its original 1980s specifications. To ensure complete authenticity, we custom-built interfaces to allow MIDI control of every original unit and analyzed the US version’s gradual heat-induced shifts in sound.
This precision was critical for our machine learning algorithms to run months of exhaustive tests, capturing every nuance and imperfection. Specifically, we modeled how temperature changes in the US unit caused clock fluctuations, introducing a ±3% stability factor that significantly impacted the reverb’s behavior. QuantX faithfully recreates the organic feel and evolving depth of pristine and time-worn classics by integrating these variations.
