Waves Abbey Road EMI TG12345 Channel

The Beatles created Abbey Road, their last-recorded album, using the TG12345 channel strip—but the TG12345 itself was just at the beginning of an illustrious recording career. Its hyped, solid-state analog sound was clean, bright, and punchy, with exceptional top-end sparkle and aggressive compression.

In close collaboration with Abbey Road, we’ve modeled the pivotal generational changeover from tube to solid-state—with a channel strip that retains 60s power, while adding 70s clarity.
