Dave Clarke EMP Toolbox Black Friday deal: 86% off Waves' seven-plugin techno toolkit, bringing it to $79.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The Dave Clarke EMP Toolbox plugin bundle collects the processors that Dave Clarke leans on during his mixing and mastering sessions. Waves describes them as the tools behind his signature sound.
Clarke is a techno DJ and remixer known for festival sets and for remixing artists such as Depeche Mode. The bundle is aimed at DJ sets and remixes that need weight and precision.
The collection covers EQs, tape saturation, low- and high-frequency enhancers, metering and effects. Seven plugins are included:
Waves also includes artist and factory presets, which give you starting points for pro-level sounds.
LoAir is a subharmonic generator for enhancing the bass. The Aphex Aural Exciter is there to sweeten the highs.
The Scheps 73 is a vintage EQ, so it covers tone shaping. The API 560 is a graphic EQ, and Waves pitches it for fast EQ moves when you need to work quickly.
Kramer Master Tape puts tape character on your tracks. Waves says it bathes the sound in tape.
MetaFlanger handles the flanging effects. The Dorrough Stereo is a meter, so you can check your audio levels while you mix.
That gives you tone shaping, saturation, low-end and high-end enhancement, modulation and metering in one bundle. If you want a whole mixing and mastering chain for a techno session, those pieces cover most stages of it.
On Mac, the Dave Clarke EMP Toolbox VST, AU and AAX plugins run on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15.
On PC, you need Windows 10 or later, and the plugins come as VST and AAX.
If you want to dial in heavy low end, tape-style saturation and bright top end from one bundle, the Dave Clarke EMP Toolbox is where those plugins sit together.
