Throughout the vinyl era, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 compressors were ubiquitous: From the recording studio to the record lathe, the Fairchild was renowned for its advanced compression techniques and incomparable sound. We’ve collaborated with GRAMMY®-winning producer/engineer Jack Joseph Puig (U2, Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga) to capture every distinctive nuance and harmonic detail of the vintage Fairchild 670 device housed in Jack’s own studio.

“I fell in love with the sound of the Fairchild 660 on the rare occasion that I worked in a studio which owned one. Now I can have half a dozen of them in my rack when I'm touring. The original added a character and body to the sound which was unique. The plugin captures that character better than anything I've heard.”

“There is not a single vocal chain in all my tracks that doesn't use the PuigChild Compressor and one of the CLA compressors; it’s a magical combo.”

“With Waves plugins, I’ve been able to sculpt the overall sound of my in-ear mixes, tighten them up, and make them pop. I’ve even stopped using an equalizer on [Paramore lead vocalist] Hayley Williams’ voice. With just the C6 and the Puigchild 660, her voice is as smooth, clean and clear as it’s ever been.”
