It’s about the color and power unleashed by Abbey Road’s saturation signal chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTube or Solid-State Saturation?

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSculpt Your Saturation Tone Abbey Road-Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor tonal transformation, adjust the pre- and post-saturation EQ, with high and low shelf, and parametric midrange.
