About The JJP Collection
The JJP Collection is the result of an ongoing Waves research and development project that has lasted over 3 years.

Fairchild compressors are among the very rarest pieces of recording gear; it's rumored that less than 50 were originally manufactured. One of the first things Waves discovered when testing Fairchilds is that each model sounds different. In fact, even within the same stereo module, each channel can sound and behave differently! Only a few fortunate studios in the world have multiple units, with the opportunity to compare the subtle differences between them. And so, their quest for the best sounding Fairchild led them to producer/mixing engineer Jack Joseph Puig, well-known in audio circles for his enviable collection of hard-to-find gear.

Jack loaned Waves his very best sounding unit, and they painstakingly analyzed and modeled its every attribute, replicating its sound and behavior to the point where the software was virtually indistinguishable from hardware. Jack was an indispensable part of the development process, greatly assisting the Waves team by testing and fine tuning the software models of his hardware, as well as contributing an extensive library of his personal presets.

So when you fire up the PuigChild, it's almost as if you were working together with Jack Joseph Puig in Ocean Way studios. Better yet, it's as if he loaned you a Fairchild. And not just any Fairchild; his BEST Fairchild. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Waves products.
