Maserati ACG Black Friday pricing puts this acoustic guitar channel strip plugin at $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026.
It is a multi-effect chain built with Grammy-winning mix engineer Tony Maserati, whose credits include Beyoncé, Jason Mraz and David Bowie. The maker says it is meant to give acoustic guitars focus and energy, whether you are driving a rhythm part or picking a solo.
You get two modes. One puts level and tone first for rhythm playing, the other leans toward nuance for lead parts.
From there you shape the sound with punch, mid and hi EQ, reverb and an exciter.
Maserati describes the two chains this way: ACG 1 helps you maximize levels and sculpt your top and bottom, while ACG 2 has more built-in compression to bring out the subtleties in a live performance.
Both chains have room settings you can dial in at different levels.
There are separate modes for running it as an insert or as a send effect. That means you can put it straight on the guitar track or feed it from a bus.
The Maserati ACG VST plugin runs on both Mac and Windows. On Mac it supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC you need Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
If your DAW loads VST, AU or AAX plugins, the plugin will load on the matching platform.
Yes. The Maserati ACG Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off, bringing the plugin to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026. It is a channel strip plugin for acoustic guitar designed with mix engineer Tony Maserati.
Maserati ACG includes two customizable chains, ACG1 and ACG2, with PUNCH, EXCITE, reverb with pre-delay, and mid and hi frequency controls. It also ships with 42 presets in multiple styles and separate insert and send modes.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX and supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On Windows 10 or later it comes as VST and AAX.
Per Tony Maserati, ACG 1 is aimed at getting signal levels as high as possible while shaping the highs and lows, whereas ACG 2 adds extra built-in compression that draws out fine detail in live recordings. Both offer room settings you can dial in at varying levels.
