The Waves Abbey Road Saturator was created to give producers and engineers access to the rich, musical saturation tones that defined the sound of Abbey Road Studios—both in the Beatles era and in contemporary productions. It was designed not just as another distortion plugin, but as a creative tool that captures the authentic signal chains of legendary analog gear. With the dual saturation paths of the REDD tube console and the TG12345 solid-state console, alongside the rare EMI TG12321 compander, this plugin provides users with historically accurate tonal options that add depth, presence, and energy to any mix. By faithfully modeling these iconic components, Waves sought to deliver a unique sonic experience that bridges vintage analog warmth with modern control and flexibility.
Key Highlights
Two Legendary Saturation Circuits – Choose between the REDD tube crunch or the TG12345 solid-state tone for radically different sonic flavors.
EMI TG12321 Compander Exciter – An ultra-rare analog processor turned mix-cutting enhancer, ideal for lifting vocals, drums, or bass.
Flexible Pre- & Post-EQ Stages – Shape what gets saturated and how the final tone sounds with detailed shelving and midrange EQ.
Mid/Side Processing – Add saturation to the mid or sides independently to shape space, depth, and stereo character.
Phase Control for Harmonic Coloration – Adjust the phase relationship to dramatically shift the texture and harmonics of the saturation.
From light saturation for an exquisite vocal or synth edge, to heavier saturation that gives bass and drums palpable punch, to industrial-grade mayhem and everything in between—this isn’t about ordinary saturation. It’s about the color and power unleashed by Abbey Road’s saturation signal chain.
Choose the REDD console’s tube sound, or the TG12345’s round, solid-state tone. Add pre- and post-saturation EQ, and then excite it all through the ultra-rare TG12321 “secret weapon” compander—nothing sounds like this.
Tube or Solid-State Saturation? Yes.
Choose from the famous tube crunch of Abbey Road’s REDD consoles, and the modern solid-state edge of the TG12345—both in one plugin. Go from subtle to extreme, with the sophisticated input, gain, and output stages of both consoles calibrated to perfection together with Abbey Road’s engineers.
Excite Your Saturation with the TG12321 Compander
Abbey Road’s engineers hacked the EMI TG12321 compander, originally designed in 1964 as a noise reduction unit, to excite tracks and help them cut through the mix. Now you have access to this effect. Control the compander’s crossover frequencies to excite specific frequency ranges: lower settings are ideal for bass and kick—or dial it up to help vocals shine.
Sculpt Your Saturation Tone Abbey Road-Style
For tonal transformation, adjust the pre- and post-saturation EQ, with high and low shelf, and parametric midrange. Emphasize or reduce frequencies to be distorted, then shape the final tonal character.
Mid-Side Saturation & More Modern Additions
Choose your processing mode: stereo, mid, or sides. Crunch the kick and bass in mid, spread the image with light saturation in the sides, or lift an entire stereo bus with the saturation character that’s ideal for your music. Other modern additions include the phase knob, which alters the character of the distortion harmonics.
Legendary Analog Sound
Like all Waves Abbey Road plugins, Abbey Road Saturator is based on decades of research and experimentation in audio, led by the golden ears and genius of legendary Abbey Road engineers such as Geoff Emerick and Peter Bown, who helped shaped the sound of modern music to this very day.
