ALBOROSIE DUB STATION

Straight from the heart of Jamaica’s most prolifc music community, Waterhouse in Kingston, we proudly introduce you the ALBOROSIE Dub Station. We sampled, analyzed, and carefully recreated the original flter, echos, and spring reverb pre-owned, modifed, and used by the legendary Osbourne Ruddock “King Tubby”– producer, studio engineer, and pioneer of dub reggae from the golden era of the 70s – from Alborosie’s personal vintage gear collection.

ECHOWUK: directly from federal studios, then King Tubby studio in Waterhouse Kingston, the MCI 2 track tape that was used to record and also to create the echo efect for most of the reggae classics overall and popular Tubby’s instrumental dub mixes.

SPRING BLING : directly from King Tubby studio in Waterhouse Kingston, the modifed Fairchild Spring Reverb used by the Maestro himself in most classic records and dub mixes he recorded and produced.

FILTER MAN : modeled after Tubby’s so-called “Big Knob”, a passive high- pass flter with eleven frequency steps from 70Hz to 7.5KHz. This flter defned the sound of the entire ‘roots’ area of Jamaican music! Special thanks to Lloyd James “King Jammy” for the continuous inspiration and guidance.
