Making Music With Iconic AMS Reverbs & Delays!

Alex Ball

"A video looking at the AMS 1580S and the AMS RMX 16, which were early digital effects units that helped define the sound of recordings in the late 70s and early 80s.

In the video I use them to process sounds within a song I’m recording and demonstrate what they do during the production.
