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.
Presenting THE JACK JOSEPH PUIG COLLECTION.
