Next-level Reverbs and Delays by CLA
Waves CLA Epic is aptly named, since it will infuse your mixes with epic-level space and dimension. CLA Epic contains a sizable cache of Grammy-winner Chris Lord-Alge’s go-to delays and reverbs — four of each, to be precise. This flexible plug-in allows you to layer and blend each of the eight effects in a myriad of ways, as well as route delays through reverbs for added depth. This CPU-friendly suite of ambient effects also includes modulation for adding width and texture to your tracks. You also get 50 presets created by CLA himself, along with over 300 more by Greg Wells, Michael Brauer, and dozens of other top-level producers and engineers. CLA Epic also includes a separate lightweight CLA EchoSphere plug-in for applications that call for slap delay and plate reverb combinations. If you need a reverb and delay super-suite for your studio, then Waves CLA Epic will deliver the sonic sweetening you’ve been missing.

Jam-packed with CLA-approved effects
Waves CLA Epic is jam-packed with four delay modules (Slap, Throw, Tape, and Crowd) and four reverb modules (Plate, Room, Hall, and Space), all based on Chris Lord-Alge’s preferred studio gear. But the key to CLA’s depth of sound isn’t in his gear, it’s in the way he deploys it. And this plug-in enables you to layer and blend all eight algorithms the same way CLA does, piping delays into reverbs to achieve an über-lush sound. CLA Epic is a breeze to use. It instantiates with Chris’s default settings for each effect to give you an intelligent baseline, after which you can fine-tune your sound with intuitive console-esque faders.
An arsenal of pro-crafted presets
Thanks to its 350-plus presets, getting up and running with CLA Epic is fast and easy. An arsenal of 50 CLA-programmed presets gives you what you need to add depth and dimension to vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards, and more. The remaining presets were crafted by Grammy-winning professionals like Greg Wells and Michael Brauer, among dozens more. At Sweetwater, we’ve found these presets to be helpful starting points. Unlike many other effect plug-ins, CLA Epic’s presets were designed for real-world applications, not to show off their capabilities.
