Waves Jack Joseph Puig Analog Legends - Electronic Delivery

Jack Joseph Puig is world-renowned as a producer, mixer, and engineer, blending the sounds of the past three decades to create a unique contemporary aural tapestry. As one of the industry's most in-demand engineers, Puig has manned the controls for a veritable who’s who of major artists. Among his clients:

The Rolling Stones, U2, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Fergie, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Klaxons, Panic At The Disco, Weezer, Counting Crows, Pussycat Dolls, Goo Goo Dolls, The Black Crowes, Switchfoot, No Doubt, Mary J. Blige, and more.

Puig has produced hits for the Verve Pipe ("Freshmen") and The Black Crowes ("Good Friday"), among others. Calling Ocean Way his home, Puig has spent time both as an engineer and as a producer and sees the duality as a plus when dealing with today's Top 40 rock acts, many of whom ask him to mix their albums as well. He has also mixed albums for Hole, Collective Soul, Green Day, Mick Jagger, Lisa Loeb, and others.

Recently, Jack collaborated with Waves on The JJP Collection, which features four precision-modeled plug-ins based on rare gear from his own studio. Specifically The Fairchild 670, the Pultec EQP-1A, and the Pultec MEQ-5.
