The v series Black Friday deal from Waves is 89% off, which puts the V-Series Bundle at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It is a three-plugin bundle of vintage-style EQ and compression: V-Comp, V-EQ3 and V-EQ4.
The maker says the plugins are based on the 1066, 1073 and 1081 mic pre/EQs and the 2254 compressor, and that they replicate the sonic behavior and analog warmth of those units.
Together they cover compression and two EQ options in one bundle, so a single purchase gives you a basic vintage signal chain for tracking or mixing in the box.
Waves says these plugins capture the way the original hardware drives audio transformers hard. According to the maker, that behavior contributes to big, warm, well-defined sounds that have shaped generations of popular music.
The bundle is built around the sound of classic 1970s consoles, and the maker describes the processors as designed with musicality as the top priority. Every processor in the bundle offers exceptional midrange detail, per the maker.
The on/off switch for the harmonic distortion is the control to know about. You can run the plugins with the transformer-style saturation engaged for color, or switch it off and use the EQ curves and compression on their own.
The two EQs split the job. One suits broad tone-shaping, the other more precise work, so you can pick the one that fits the source on each channel or bus.
On Mac, the bundle 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 and comes in VST and AAX formats.
If your DAW hosts VST, AU or AAX plugins on one of those systems, the V-Series Bundle plugins load as regular inserts on tracks, buses and sends.
