Waves Abbey Road Reverb
High-end modeling of the four legendary reverb plates housed at Abbey Road Studios and used on Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead recordings.
Introduced in the 1950s, plate reverbs have been an accessory to recorded music ever since. Used most prominently in the 1960s and 1970s by pioneering bands including The Beatles and Pink Floyd, Abbey Road Studios' original reverb boards were first installed in 1957 to complement the fixed reverb times of the studios' echo chambers. These beautiful sound cards, with a variable reverb time of up to six seconds, have been fine-tuned to perfection by Abbey Road's technical engineers. To keep noise to a minimum, EMI's Central Research Laboratories designed unique solid-state hybrid drive amplifiers for Boards A, B, and C. Board D was fully valve-driven in both the drive and output stages, enabling versatile array of sonic characteristics, from warm and dark to lush and mellow.
On each of these original plates, the stereo reverb effect is created by suspending a large sheet metal frame with tensioned springs attached to each corner. A transducer injects the sheet metal with audio energy, which is picked up by two contact microphones attached to the surface of the sheet. The reverb time can be adjusted using an internal damper, and this is all contained in a large wooden unit.
These historic Abbey Road plaques were used in numerous seminal recordings of pop, rock, classics and movies over the years and continue to be used in all types of audio production today. Waves has now meticulously modeled these impressive and uniquely sounding units, individually modeling the harmonic distortion of the drive and output amplifiers, as well as the individual plate/damper behaviors.
