Overview

The desk after the REDD.

The TG12345 was Abbey Road's first solid-state console, the desk the Beatles used on Abbey Road and Pink Floyd used after them. This channel strip models it, keeping the bright, punchy top end and aggressive compression that set it apart from the valve REDD desks it replaced. Three EQ stages are included, with variable routing between dynamics, EQ and presence rather than a fixed order, and the console's own compressor and limiter comes with a sidechain filter that suits bass and other frequency-dependent work.
