1.3 A Few Words from Tony Maserati
"The GTi was created with all the different guitar players I've admired in mind. I tried to find
settings that would be a starting place for getting their sound, from the ‘Clean’ in-your-face
sound of, say, Elliott Smith to the wide chorus-y spread of The Police's Andy Summers using
the 'Clean Chorus' setting. On the 'Heavy' setting, a bit of level and EQ help your already
crunched guitar sound scream through any thick instrumentation you've got. ‘Thick Rhythm' lets
you to subtly or substantially make your rhythm guitar sound livelier; it also works great on
Wurlis and Horns. The 'Soft Flange' setting is just that; it adds interesting and subtly audible
filtering to legato notes or sustained electric guitars. My intention was to make these effects
usable in a wide variety of applications. The wild and crazy FX are out there; you already got
'em if you need 'em!"
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 GTi has two components:
• Maserati GTi m>s – Mono in to Stereo out component
• Maserati GTi stereo – Stereo in to Stereo out component
