H-Series

4 hybrid plugins: Analog behavior meets digital precision

Analog Sound and Behavior
Meet Digital Precision

Although analog sound quality is revered, the limitations—like inconsistency and inflexibility—are frustrating. But now, you can have it all: the H-Series combines Waves’ unmatched expertise in analog modeling, with the complete flexibility of digital.

Each H-Series processor spans the range from the nostalgic sounds of the past, to the immaculate clarity of today’s high-resolution technology—and always has an unmistakable analog character.

Familiar, analog-style interfaces and controls
Digital modeling adds versatility to established analog technology
Includes compression, reverb, equalization, and delay
Choose whether to include analog’s sonic quirks
BPM sync for delay, compressor release, several reverb parameters
MIDI Learn encourages hands-on, creative control—like analog gear
For a true analog “feel,” these even model analog control tapers
Stunning presets from world-class engineers showcase the H-Series

Add Soulful Sonic Effects and Variety to Digital Productions

H-Delay: Your Delay Effects Laboratory
H-Delay has the tools to emulate all popular delay-based effects, past and present, from funky to clean. They’re all here: Lush guitar chorusing, tape-delay vocals, vibrato—even crazy feedback effects from ’50s sci-fi movies.
H-Reverb: The Swiss Army Knife Verb
Classic or contemporary? Let’s do both. H-Reverb marries the sweetness and editability of algorithmic reverb with the precise, real-world sound of convolution technology—then folds in delay, de-essing, and ducking effects.
H-EQ: 7 Bands from Vintage to Surgical
No other plugin offers 7 different console characters, from US and UK vintage to modern digital, for individual EQ bands. With different analog colors, mid-side operation, and included spectrum analyzer, this EQ does it all.
H-Comp: Compression with the Charm of Tubes
H-Comp combines the enduring sound of tubes, transformers, and transistors with modern, precise compression. Add punch, do parallel compression, and choose from four distinct analog personalities—or none.
