The v eq3 Black Friday deal from Waves takes 76% off this EQ plugin, which brings it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
V-EQ3 is an EQ plugin built around the sound of 70s hardware. Waves says it is not a surgical EQ. It is meant to color and add sparkle to the body of a sound while you dial in a tone quickly.
The idea comes from hardware design. Old EQ designers had limited hardware, so they picked a short list of frequencies, slopes and curves that worked. Waves says the V-EQ3 stays true to that approach.
The maker describes a detailed midrange, rich bass and bright "air". It uses a low-distortion Class A design, aimed at natural-sounding EQ.
The plugin also models the 1066/1073 Neve preamps. Waves says that analog circuit modeling stays active even when you zero the EQ.
The controls are curated rather than endless. Each one has a clear job:
The highpass filter earns its place on bus work. Send a kick into a drum bus and you can clear low-end build-up before it crowds the mix.
The phase reverse switch matters when you run the plugin on a parallel path. It lets you flip polarity against the dry signal.
The V-EQ3 plugin comes as VST, AU and AAX on Mac. Supported macOS versions are Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15.
On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes as VST and AAX. There is no AU version on PC.
If you want an EQ for fast, musical moves on tracks and masters, the V-EQ3 deal is the one to look at.
Yes. The V-EQ3 Black Friday deal takes 76% off, which brings this Waves EQ plugin to $29.99. The deal ends Nov 26, 2026, so that is the date to work to if you want it at the lower price.
