The Beatles’ Guitar Sound: Abbey Road Plugins as Guitar Pedals
Dec 23, 2021 | 4,493 Views
Getting vintage-y 60s guitar sounds with modern guitar pedals can be tricky, because artists like the Beatles didn’t have guitar pedals – they got their guitar sounds by doing things like connecting straight to the studio console.
Watch how to get those authentic vintage sounds with the Waves Abbey Road Collection. In this video, producer Ricardo Salvador (@farosonico) goes through every single Waves Abbey Road plugin and tries it out on the guitar of the Beatles’ “Nowhere Man.”
