Echoes of Abbey Road
Sure, John, Paul, George, and Ringo had some talent—but how high up music’s Mount Olympus would they have climbed without reverb? Okay, maybe Abbey Road’s echo chamber wasn’t the only reason for their success—but it didn’t hurt. The Waves Abbey Road Chambers plug-in ($199; $49 on sale at press time) emulates the Studio Two chamber and the signal chain that helped make it a defining sound of the 1960s. The plug-in version adds other Abbey Road ambient effects and provides controls that go beyond the original. waves.com
