Waves Magma Tube Channel Strip: the authentic tube sound

Waves Magma Tube Channel Strip offers a simple and powerful interface to sculpt your sound with warmth, depth, and authentic tube saturation. Designed to be fast and musical, it combines EQ, compression, and saturation in one plug-in, modeled on vintage tube hardware with Waves True Valve Modeling technology.

Key features: musical EQ, analog saturation and dynamic control

Valve saturation with character

From slight warmth to the most intense harmonic distortion, the Magma saturation module returns a full, in-your-face sound with smooth clipping that brings voices, instruments, and busses to life.

Musical and intuitive equalization

The 3-band EQ includes high and low shelves, as well as a bell-shaped Mid control with variable frequency. Designed to be driven by the ear rather than by numbers.

Compression with "SMASH" for maximum energy

Single-knob compressor covers a full dynamic range. Activate "SMASH" for an explosive attack, perfect for aggressive tracks. Also included is an expander/gate for cleaner, more focused sounds.

Professional-level presets

With over 450 presets made by mix legends such as Jacquire King, Greg Wells, Joe Chiccarelli and others, Magma Channel takes you straight into the workflow of the best.
