The Jack Joseph Puig Collection from Waves unites four legends for the ultimate in processing prowess: the Fairchild 670, the Pultec EQP-1A, the Pultec EQP-5, and Jack Joseph Puig. To create The Jack Joseph Puig Collection, Waves teamed with Grammy Award-winning mixer and producer, Jack Joseph Puig, also well-known for his enviable collection of rare, hand-picked outboard hardware. After painstakingly modeling every nuance of Puig's personal gear, Waves has created virtually indistinguishable plug-ins. Now you can bring one-of-a-kind vintage gear into your studio - and Puig's very own presets - with Waves' The Jack Joseph Puig Collection.

Models of Jack Joseph Puig's own hardware
The Fairchild 670, the Pultec EQP-1A, and the Pultec MEQ-5 are among the most sought-after pieces of gear in audio history. Likewise, Jack Joseph Puig is among the most sought-after producers and mixing engineers in the music industry, having working with such artists as Weezer, U2, The Rolling Stones, Black Eyed Peas, No Doubt, John Mayer, and countless others. Puig himself has one of the most enviable, hand-selected collections of vintage hardware in existence. Indeed, no two units of the same make and model sound exactly alike - and tubes, capacitors, and other components and factors work together over time to give each piece its own unique personality. Waves' The Jack Joseph Puig Collection is a painstakingly modeled offering of Puig's very own outboard gear. Not only did Puig work with Waves throughout every step of the way to ensure these plug-ins are spot-on, but he even included his very own presets so you can use his personal gear exactly how he would.
PuigChild 670/660
The stereo Fairchild 670 is considered the most coveted of all compressors - both because of its sound, and because of its rarity. Along with its mono counterpart, the 660, both boast single push-pull amplification stages with extremely high control voltages. The PuigChild 670/660 puts Jack Joseph Puig's very own Fairchild in your hands for incomparable sound.
PuigTec EQP-1A
The Pultec EQP-1A is renowned for its unique ability to boost and cut the same frequencies simultaneously, thus creating a resonant shelf. With the PuigTec EQP-1A, it's like you're using Jack Joseph Puig's personal EQ, heard on dozens of popular recordings from artists such as Weezer, Black Crowes, and Panic At The Disco.
PuigTec MEQ-5
The distinctive tonal characteristics of the MEQ-5 have made the original Pultec hardware a mainstay at high-end studios for decades. The midrange PuigTec MEQ-5 and the broadband PuigTec EQP-1A together comprise a full range vintage EQ chain for incredible results.
