{"product_id":"wave-alchemy-glow","title":"Wave Alchemy Glow","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1981, a digital reverb was released that would go on to define the sound of an era and forever change the landscape of music production. Its iconic character — bold, atmospheric, and otherworldly — became synonymous with the ethereal vocals, ambient synths, and gated drums of the 1980s. This reverb was the RMX, and it left an unmistakable imprint on countless classic records.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlow is a loving revival and reinvention of that legendary unit.
