Waves Tape, Tubes and Transistors - Eddie Kramer Olympic Studios Signal Chain

Waves Tape, Tubes and Transistors - Eddie Kramer Olympic Studios Signal Chain

Waves Tape, Tubes and Transistors brings you as close as possible to sitting in the studio with Eddie Kramer in the 60s and early 70s, when he recorded and mixed Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. Developed with Kramer, its three plugins model the Olympic Studios chain of Helios console, Pye compressor and two-track tape.

The Kramer HLS Channel models the Helios desk from the Rolling Stones mobile truck, the Kramer PIE Compressor recreates the Pye compressor and Kramer Master Tape captures the warmth of analogue tape. Use them on anything from single vocal tracks to full mixes, with the option to include the charm of analogue imperfections.
