The Sound of Abbey Road Studios’ Echo Chamber
Keely abbey
Bring the sound of Abbey Road Studios’ legendary echo chamber to your guitar rig with the Keeley Abbey Chamber Verb reverb pedal. This pedal doesn’t simply model the reverb sound of that famous echo chamber — it features the same filtering options that engineers used to craft that iconic reverb sound. Use the Brilliance control to select one of three frequency points to boost or cut, the same frequencies targeted in that studio to craft iconic guitar tones. Even the Predelay times are technically accurate, ranging from 30ms (the natural pre-delay of that echo chamber) to 150ms (the delay from their tape machine). The Keeley Abbey Chamber Verb offers the flexibility you need for gigging, with a distinct sonic character that’s steeped in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Based on Abbey Road Studio’s famous echo chamber
Back in the golden age of recording, and before reverb effects processors were commonplace, studio engineers built chambers designed for great-sounding reverb. They’d place a speaker in the room, play tracks through it, and record the sound of the echo chamber. The sound of Abbey Road Studio’s echo chambers can be heard on countless recordings by the Beatles, U2, Radiohead, Elton John, and many others.
Focus your sound with the Brilliance control
When engineers would record the echo chamber, they’d filter the audio for a variety of reasons. Just like in Abbey Road Studios, the Keeley Abbey Chamber Verb filters your sound with a 600Hz highpass filter and a 10k lowpass filter for a tighter, more defined reverb sound. From there you can fine-tune your tone with the Brilliance control, which offers three frequency points (2.7kHz, 3.5kHz, or 10kHz) to boost or cut by 10dB.
Dense but not overpowering
Guitarists at Sweetwater dig the Abbey Chamber Verb pedal because it can deliver a dense reverb sound that won’t overpower your guitar tone. Shorter decay times yield a short burst of reverb that is distinct yet gets out of the way quickly. And it sounds equally great with clean and overdriven tones.
