The PuigChild Compressor from Waves is a plug-in that emulates the sound of the legendary Fairchild compressor. Originally designed for vinyl mastering, what’s left of the remaining hardware units command “artwork” prices and are virtual unavailable to most people.

However, the sound characteristics of the unit are universally sought after. The plug-in captures all the nuances of Jack Joseph Puig’s Fairchild 670, along with every detail regarding its rich and complex harmonic output. Linked and unlinked modes are included, as is a lateral vertical mode for optimal stereo imaging.

PuigTec EQ from Waves provides a pair of EQ plug-ins that used together provide a full-range, vintage EQ chain. Both original Pultec hardware units on which the plug-ins have been modeled, continue to this day to be mainstays at high-end studios.

The EQP-1A is known for its unique ability to boost and cut the same frequencies simultaneously, thereby creating a resonant shelf. The distinctive midrange tonal characteristics of the MEQ-5 make it the perfect complement to the EQP-1A.
