The Fairchild 670, the Pultec EQP-1A, and the Pultec MEQ-5 are among the most sought-after pieces of gear in audio history.

Jack Joseph Puig is among the most sought-after producers and mixing engineers in the music industry.

When JJP requires the perfect sound, he turns to these studio legends. Now, Waves has precision-modeled these rare pieces and captured every detail of their rich harmonic complexity.

Connoisseurs of vintage recording equipment know that no two units of the same make and model sound exactly alike. Tubes, capacitors, and other components (not to mention wear-and-tear) work together to give each piece its own unique personality. So when Waves decided to model the rarest of rare studio hardware (the Fairchild 670, the Pultec EQP-1A, and the Pultec MEQ-5), we turned to Jack Joseph Puig.

Legendary among audio aficionados for his extensive collection of exceptional, hand-picked outboard gear, Puig gave us exclusive access to model his most prized processors, and worked closely with Waves through every phase of the development process. Together with many of his personal presets, these precision models deliver the distinctive sound of JJP?s favorite classics.
