Waves V-EQ3: The warmth and punch of the classic Neve EQ

The Waves V-EQ3 faithfully reproduces the sonic characteristics of the Neve 1066 and 1073 modules, which have been synonymous with analog punch, detail, and "air" for decades. This plug-in equalizer is the perfect choice for achieving vintage sound on vocals, instruments and full mixes.

Legendary sound. Instant musical results.

The V-EQ3 combines the strengths of Neve's two most popular preamps, delivering precise mids, powerful lows and crystal clear highs. The 10 selected midrange frequencies were chosen for their musicality, and allow targeted interventions even with strong boosts, without losing naturalness.

Analog EQ in-the-box

The "Analog" button enables circuit shaping with saturation and phase response, even at flat EQ. Use it as the last effect on each track to wrap the mix with that classic 1970s console sound.

More control. More character.

• High shelf at 10 or 12 kHz to add brightness and "air"
• Bass shelf to give body to bass and kick drums
• High-pass filter to eliminate "mud" before buses
• Phase switch for compatibility with parallel mixes
