Abbey Road/Waves REDD

Waves recreated Abbey Road’s original REDD desks: The REDD.17 which still belongs to Abbey Road Studios, and the REDD.37 console now owned by Lenny Kravitz.

Features:

• Based on the REDD.17, REDD.37 and REDD.51 consoles.
• Classic British sound of the 1960s.
• Continuous EQ controls.
• Developed in association with Abbey Road Studios.

Controls:

• Amp Type determines the type of amplifier. (REDD .37-.51 only).
• Channel Select determines the channel configuration.
• Bass Lift controls the 9 dB low shelf that compensates for low frequency loss caused by using condenser microphones in a Figure 8 configuration.
• EQ Select toggles between Classic and Pop EQ types. The Classic treble EQ features a shelf boost or cut at 10 kHz; Pop EQ is a peak boost centered around 5 kHz, with a shelf cut centered at 10 kHz. Both Pop and Classic settings feature a continuous 10 dB of boost or cut at 100 Hz. (REDD .37-.51 only).
• Tone High controls high shelf equalization.
• Tone Low controls low shelf equalization.
• Monitor controls the source of the monitor output.
• Spread selects stereo processing mode. (Stereo component only).
• Drive controls the amount of drive added to the signal. Lower values result in a cleaner sound; higher values result in a more distorted sound.
• Analog controls the level of modeled noise and the hum.
• Output controls the output level of the signal.
• VU Meters display output VU readings.
