Manny Marroquin EQ Black Friday pricing from Waves is $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026, for an EQ plugin that folds six classic hardware equalizers into one.
Waves built it with mix engineer Manny Marroquin, a 10x Grammy winner whose credits include Kendrick Lamar and Lizzo. It distills the way he approaches EQ.
His method, per the maker, is to pick specific curves from six go-to vintage equalizers instead of using one box for everything. This plugin puts his "greatest hits" curves from all six side by side.
It is an EQ plugin that combines 34 frequency curves hand-picked by Marroquin. The curves come from his Neve, API, SSL, Avalon and Motown units.
Vintage EQs offer switch-selected frequencies, and the maker says those points were chosen for deliberate musical reasons. Here, that logic carries over into a single, easy-to-use plugin.
Marroquin says he and Waves captured the best of each of his favorite EQs and put them together.
The plugin has 4 bands. Each band gives you 5 fixed frequencies with boost and cut, so you pick a frequency from the set instead of sweeping a continuous dial.
The maker says you can use it on anything: vocals, keys, bass, drums, guitar and buses.
It is also light on your system. Waves says the low CPU consumption lets you run virtually unlimited instances, which helps when you want an EQ on every channel and bus.
The plugin ships with 28 presets by Manny, Tony Maserati, Yared Nevo and others. Here is the feature list:
On Mac, it runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
If you want to know which curves you are getting before you dial anything in, the hardware list above is the answer. Neve, API, SSL, Avalon and Motown are all in there, and the presets are a quick way to hear what each one does to a source.
Yes. The Manny Marroquin EQ Black Friday deal takes 69% off the Waves plugin, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
