Waves BB Tubes

There’s nothing quite like the magic of huge-sounding analog tube saturation—and this one must be heard to be believed. An original-design plugin from our Magma series, the unique blend of the BEAUTY and BEAST knobs offers a versatile sonic pallet from delicate to beyond aggressive, to help you create expensive-sounding productions.

You’ll find BB Tubes is incredibly addictive. Once you start using it on your drums, vocals, guitars, bass, synths, mix bus and absolutely everything, it’s hard to go back. Incredible tones are simple to dial in without overthinking, and parts will simply feel “finished” in the mix far quicker than before.
