The Abbey Road REDD Consoles Black Friday deal takes 79% off this Waves channel strip plugin bundle, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It's a set of three console channel strips built around the tube consoles that Abbey Road's in-house Record Engineering Development Department made for its own studios in the 1960s.
Waves says it designed the plugins in close collaboration with Abbey Road. The maker's pitch is the raw, crunchy 60s pop sound: warmth, punch and character on tap.
You get three strips, each with its own character:
The REDD.47 pre-amps were built in-house at Abbey Road, and the REDD.51 strip is based on that tube pre-amp design.
REDD.17 and REDD.37 are modeled on the Siemens V72 tube amps, units that continue to attract a devoted audience.
Waves says the strips make bass, drums, guitars, synths and loops pop with warmth, and that the EQ is silky smooth.
The EQ controls are minimalist but, per the maker, highly musical. Fewer knobs means you dial in a tone quickly rather than sweeping through bands.
Turn up the REDD drive when you want the raw, hard 60s sound. That's the control for pushing a source from gentle tube colour into proper grit.
The REDD Consoles plugins run on Mac and Windows:
That covers most DAWs that host VST, AU or AAX plugins, so you can drop a strip on any channel in your signal chain.
The Abbey Road REDD Consoles VST is one of several Abbey Road plugins from Waves, built with the studio's input on the original hardware.
Yes. The Abbey Road REDD Consoles Black Friday deal takes 79% off the Waves bundle of three channel strips, bringing it to $29.99. The offer ends Nov 26, 2026.
Three console channel strip plugins: REDD.17, REDD.37 and REDD.51. Each has a different character. The REDD.51 comes with the REDD.47 tube pre-amps that were built in-house at Abbey Road.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX, and on Windows as VST and AAX. Mac needs macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 or Sequoia 15. Windows needs version 10 or later.
Waves says turning up the REDD drive gives you the raw, hard 60s sound. The strips are meant to add warmth and punch to bass, drums, guitars, synths and loops, and the drive pushes that further.
