1.3 A Few Words from Tony Maserati
"The B72 actually has two distinct starting places. I've worked on a large variety of music
for my artists, and there's never just one sound or one preset. Try the 'DI' setting on your
electric or acoustic bass and you'll see how you can enhance the roundness, while
keeping it lively throughout the song. The 'Synth' setting opens up a different door, with
thickness, stereo spread, and harmonic flavor. It’ll fill the speakers like an old Prophet."
1.4 Components
WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which
we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives
you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material.
The Waves Maserati B72 has three components:
• Maserati B72 m>m – Mono in to Mono out component
• Maserati B72 m>s – Mono in to Stereo out component
• Maserati B72 stereo – Stereo in to Stereo out component
