Maserati ACG from Waves is an acoustic guitar enhancing plug-in featuring Tony Maserati's favorite settings for controling and boosting the energy of acoustic guitar tracks. It works for a wide variety of playing styles with controls for bass and treble EQ, compression and reverb. Two "type" switches provide starting points for custom processing.
The ACG 1 setting allows for maximizing levels and sculpting the top and bottom frequencies. The ACG 2 setting has more built-in compression for bringing out the subtilties in a live performance. Both provide appropriate room settings with additional controls for pre-delay and reverb amount. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Maserati B72 Bass Phattener from Waves is an all-in-one bass processing chain plug-in. Using the DI setting on an electric or acoustic bass can enhance the instrument's roundness, while keeping it lively throughout the song. The synth setting on the other hand delivers thickness, stereo spread, and harmonic flavor.
The Maserati B72 provides controls for input and output levels as well as knobs for bass and treble control. In synth mode, tone and FX controls allow for emulating the warmth of vintage synths. The plug-in can operate in either insert or send mode, allowing for a variety of chain processing options.
The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
Maserati DRM from Waves is live or programmed drum track enhancing software, featuring Tony Maserati's settings for making tracks cut through a thick mix. The "Drum Slammer" works for a wide variety of drum sounds and includes controls for bass and treble EQ, plus a "snap" control which modifies the transient component of the drum sounds.
Seven drum types can each be adjusted, including bass drum, snare top, snare bottom, high hat, toms, overhead and room tones. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
Maserati GRP from Waves is a compression and EQ plug-in designed for processing groups of live and/or programmed drums, guitars, strings, keys, and background vocals, as well as the master bus.
The plug-in's compressor features a single control knob to set levels and is designed for a subtle effect that adds sheen to a mix group. The EQ section has single control knobs for low, mid, and high frequencies. Type buttons allow for selecting the appropriate group.

Maserati GTi from Waves is a guitar toner plug-in that delivers guitar processing settings based on the sounds of guitarists Tony Maserati admires. The software features presence, chorus, flange, vibrato, and delay effects, all of which can be applied to five starting points.
The five types of guitar tone include Clean, Clean Chorus, Heavy, Thick Rhythm, and Soft Flange. Some of the types can work equally well with other instruments, in particular the Thick Rhythm for Wurlitzer pianos and horns. Either way, the effects are usable in a wide variety of applications.
The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
Maserati HMX from Waves is a plug-in for use primarily on keyboards, but can also be used with other instruments. Two modes, Modal and Bounce, dictate which effects will be used where, with both featuring their own sets of controls.
Modal mode produces a wide soundscape for a piano for instance, with just the right amount of chorus effect to give it life on a vocal demo, or raise a Wurlitzer's presence on a track. Bounce mode adds a bit of reverb and delay, creating energy and movement for a ballad, or a lively feel for a full-band setting.
The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
Maserati VX1 from Waves is an all-in-one vocal processing chain plug-in that features compression, EQ, delay, reverb and three selectable contours that emulate different room ambience. It can be used as an insert or on an auxiliary channel in send mode.
Contour 1 provides a studio or small venue room ambience; contour 2 is a larger chamber with reflective pre-delays, most suited for slow ballads; and contour 3 is set up for quicker tempo songs with a very small room and matching pre-delay.
The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
