The Waterfall B3 Black Friday deal puts Universal Audio's Hammond B3 organ plugin at $49, 67% off, until Nov 30, 2026.
Waterfall B3 Organ is a virtual instrument that emulates the Hammond B3 tonewheel organ together with its companion Leslie 147 rotary speaker cabinet. Universal Audio calls it the most thorough emulation of that pairing.
It runs as UAD Native, so it works on a Mac or PC with any soundcard and needs no UA hardware.
The maker says the organ side covers every last detail of the original. That includes tube power amp saturation, transformer "pumping" and the upper-harmonic interactions between the drawbars.
The source is a 1958 tonewheel organ, the kind heard on R&B, soul, rock, hip-hop and gospel records.
The cabinet side is a vintage 1974 rotary speaker. Universal Audio says it captures the three-dimensional movement, the speaker breakup and the full tonal range of the Type 147, recorded with vintage mic setups placed on purpose.
The tube saturation and transformer behaviour sit in the organ itself, so you dial in the drive before the signal ever reaches the cabinet. The rotary stage is a separate part of the chain, with its own mic placement.
The maker describes Waterfall B3 as the most "record-ready" organ emulation put into a DAW. The library holds over 70 hand-crafted presets, and Universal Audio says they give album-ready results across every genre.
That gives you a starting point for a gospel chord pad, a soul comp or a rock lead before you touch a drawbar. From there you can shape the sound with the saturation, the rotary cabinet and the spring reverb.
Because it is a UAD Native plugin, it sits in your DAW like any other instrument. You can bounce it to audio or run it through buses and sends in the usual way.

It emulates the Hammond B3 organ and its Leslie 147 rotary speaker cabinet. Universal Audio says that includes tube power amp saturation, transformer "pumping" and drawbar upper-harmonic interactions, tuned to the sounds heard on R&B, soul, rock, hip-hop and gospel records.
