Waves Maserati ACG

There’s nothing like a driving acoustic guitar to push a song’s rhythm, or solo picking for expressive leads. But in a dense mix, acoustic instruments can end up getting buried. This multi-effect chain plugin by master mixer Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, David Bowie) helps you solve that.

Prioritize level and tone for rhythm, or nuances for leads, with two modes. Then, shape the sound further with punch, mid and hi EQ, reverb, and exciter—for a guitar sound with focus and energy.

“These controls give you my chains for giving acoustic guitars an energy boost: ACG 1 helps you to maximize levels and sculpt your top and bottom. ACG 2 has more built-in compression for bringing out the subtleties in a live performance. Both have appropriate room settings available to be dialed in at varying levels.”—Tony Maserati
