Waves Scheps 73 - Classic 1073 Console Preamp and EQ Plugin

Waves Scheps 73 - Classic 1073 Console Preamp and EQ Plugin

Waves Scheps 73 is modelled on the classic 1073 console preamp and EQ, one of the most coveted pieces of studio gear for over half a century. Its precision analogue modelling was fine-tuned by Grammy-winning mix engineer Andrew Scheps, whose credits include Adele, Metallica and Jay-Z.

The plugin captures the fat, warm preamp sound and the way the EQ shapes it, including the saturation of the Marinair audio transformer that is the original's secret ingredient. All four classic EQ bands are reproduced in detail, and a mid/side matrix, mono, dual mono and stereo modes and four monitoring options add modern flexibility.
