The Waves Abbey Road RS124 is an authentic modeling of the ultra-rare EMI-designed RS124 compressor, heavily used in Abbey Road Studios during the ‘60s and ‘70s and heard on practically every Beatles recording. 

Known for its silky-smooth, velvety tone, the RS124 has a fixed attack time that isn’t super-fast, allowing even more aggressive threshold settings to deliver pleasing results. It was among the most important pieces of analog gear shaping the sound at Abbey Road and has since become a “holy grail” compressor with almost mythical prestige. In particular, it is said to be responsible for some of the best bass sounds ever captured on tape.

As with everything vintage, each original RS124 was different. Valves can naturally stray away from being “in spec” and morph into a beautiful beast, giving each unit a different character. The RS124 was no exception. 

We Wanted To Include Two Different Flavors Of The RS124:

Studio: This one models the original tubes found in RS124 serial 60070B – the favorite unit used at Abbey Road from the late 50s into the 60s. Though these valves varied from the original EMI specs, they turned out to have a “squashed” sound to them, which has since become part of the RS124’s familiar charm.

Cutting: This unit is a modification with a slower attack time. The slower RS124s found their way into the Abbey Road cutting rooms during the 60s.
 
The plugin also includes a “Super-Fuse” mode, which matches the attack to the release time and creates a uniquely aggressive compression tone where the compressor feels like its “fighting against itself.”
