The v eq4 Black Friday deal from Waves takes 76% off this EQ plugin, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
V-EQ4 is a multiband EQ modeled after the Neve 1081. Waves describes it as a bridge between two schools of EQ: vintage units built to shape tone, and modern "surgical" EQs built to fix problems.
The controls cover both jobs. Two 10-position midrange bands, each with a Hi-Q button, handle the mids.
Variable high and low shelving sit alongside highpass and lowpass filters. That lets you sculpt a sound or clean one up from the same instance.
The maker says the low-Q and high-Q options use sensible, musical values, so the narrow and wide settings land in useful territory.
The model follows the acclaimed Neve 1081 mic preamp/EQ. Waves says the transformer modeling gives a warm, upfront midrange.
The Class AB design, together with analog emulation, is what the maker credits for the added sparkle.
One detail worth knowing: the analog modeling stays active even with the EQ zeroed. Waves lists this as a feature, so the plugin colors the signal while sitting flat.
The maker lists these uses:
That last pair is the practical side of an upfront midrange: you can bring a part forward or tuck it behind other tracks with the mid bands and shelves.
The V-EQ4 runs on Mac and PC. Waves lists these formats:
If your DAW loads VST, AU or AAX plugins on one of those systems, the V-EQ4 is built for it.
