A Larger-than-life Sound Is Just a Click Away
Love the sound of tubes? Who doesn't, right? That's why you'll love Waves BB Tubes. This saturation plug-in churns out all the huge-sounding tube-style saturation you can handle, which makes any track you instantiate it on jump forth in a brilliant, ear-grabbing way. BB Tubes includes two knobs labeled "Beauty" and "Beast," enabling you to strike the perfect balance between delicate harmonics and in-your-face distortion. You can infuse any vocal or instrument track with analog-like excitement, or strap it across your entire mix to inject it with sublime soft-clipping intensity. You also get a bevy of extra controls, including Pre and Post Tone controls, a Mix knob, and switchable Transformer emulation. Part of the Waves Magma series, BB Tubes is your one-way ticket to a larger-than-life sound.
Note: BB Tubes includes a license for the Waves Lil Tube plug-in.

Exhibits dual personalities
The secret to BB Tubes' gargantuan sound rests in its dual — and contradictory — personalities. Beauty is tailor-made for gentle harmonic saturation. If you want a track to sound rounder and fatter, the Beauty knob will do just that. Need something a bit more in your face? That's where Beast comes in. Cranking the Beast knob gives you immediate, aggressive attitude, all the way up to (and including) full-on distortion. You also get an A/B switch to select between two different tube textures. Here at Sweetwater, we've found that to really explore BB Tubes' capabilities, you need to blend the two personalities together. By dialing in the right combination of Beauty and Beast, you'll find the perfect sound for every application.
