Waves Maserati GTi

Waves Maserati GTi - Guitar Effects Plugin | Grammy-Winning Master Guitar Tone-Shaping Tool

Waves Maserati GTi is a unique guitar processing tool crafted by Grammy-winning mixing engineer Tony Maserati. This isn't a traditional amp simulator or a pedalboard, but a complete solution designed for modern music production, aimed at making your guitar tones—whether sent directly into the mix or driving a physical amp—instantly exhibit professional studio-level quality and presence. The Maserati GTi stays true to the core tone of your guitar while unlocking rich, versatile, and inspiring new possibilities, making your electric guitar mixing workflow more intuitive and efficient than ever before.

This powerful guitar effects plugin features five tone chains meticulously tuned by Tony Maserati, covering everything from clear, punchy, and dynamic Clean tones, to the wide, deep Chorus effect reminiscent of The Police's guitarist Andy Summers, and even distorted tones that cut through a dense arrangement. Whether you need the "THICK RHYTHM" to bring your rhythm guitars to life, or the "HEAVY" to add aggression to your solos, the Maserati GTi provides one-click access to studio-ready tones, helping your guitar parts find their perfect place in a complex mix without tedious parameter tweaking.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

Master-Crafted Signature Tones
Personally designed by Grammy Award winner Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz), this plugin condenses his decades of guitar mixing experience and unique taste, giving you easy access to world-class guitar sounds.

Unconventional Effects Design
It's not just an amp sim or an effects modeler, but a complete tone processing chain. Each mode contains a complex series of internal processes, such as EQ, compression, and spatial effects, optimally combined to solve specific mixing challenges.

Five Diverse Tone Chains
Offers five distinct tone modes (CLEAN, CLEAN CHORUS, SOFT FLANGE, THICK RHYTHM, HEAVY), covering a wide range of applications from clean, chorus, and flange to rhythm enhancement and heavy distortion, meeting the needs of various genres.

Instantly Mix-Ready
All preset tones are meticulously tuned to allow guitar parts to sit perfectly in a full mix "instantly," significantly reducing the complexity of post-processing and boosting workflow efficiency.

Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Interface
The simple controls allow you to fine-tune the core elements of the tone with just a few knobs, without needing in-depth knowledge of complex signal processing theory, helping you quickly find the perfect sound for your track.
