The Eddie Kramer Bass Channel Black Friday deal knocks 69% off this Waves bass plugin, so it costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It is a bass channel strip that captures how Eddie Kramer approached bass production. Kramer engineered for Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, bands where loud guitars left the bass little room.
The goal behind it, as Waves tells it, is fat bass tones with presence that pop on radio mixes without overpowering them. You get a choice between a more aggressive character and a more dynamic one.
The plugin is meant to bring those tones into your own mixes. Setup is kept simple, so you spend less time dialing in and more time with the track.
The two bass characters are the core of the plugin. Each one handles dynamics differently, and the maker describes them like this:
If you want the bass to move and breathe, Bass 1 is the one built for that. If you want it dense and forward, Bass 2 pushes the compression harder.
The sensitivity LED sits at the front of the signal chain. It gives you a visual cue for gain staging before the tone controls and compression do their work.
On Mac, Waves lists macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. Formats are VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later. Formats are VST and AAX.
That covers the main plugin formats used in most DAWs, so you can load it as an insert on a bass track or on a bass bus.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 69% off Eddie Kramer Bass Channel, bringing it to $29.99. The offer ends Nov 26, 2026. It is a Waves bass plugin built around the bass production approach of engineer Eddie Kramer.
Bass 1 is the dynamic option, with a less compressed sound that breathes. Bass 2 increases the compression for an aggressive, big sound. The compression dial then sets how much dynamics intensity you apply on top of either character.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX. On Windows it comes as VST and AAX. Mac support covers macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, and Windows needs version 10 or later.
You get bass and treble controls for overall tone, a compression dial for dynamics intensity, and a sensitivity LED that helps with gain staging and response. A choice between two bass characters sits alongside them.
