Fab Four

About

Fab Four is a guitar plugin by EastWest. It is built to recreate the sound of The Beatles, using period instruments and vintage recording equipment. Most of its sounds were recorded with original, rare equipment, including EMI REDD 47 preamps and Fairchild limiters. It includes guitars, bass, keys, drums and miscellaneous instruments such as sitar and tabla.

What it sounds like

The drum recordings and processing are ultra-tight, with a punch that is not too heavy.
