The Waves Ltd. PuigChild 660 is a compression plug-in modeled after the classic Fairchild 660. It’s a part of the Jack Joseph Puig Analog Legends bundle, which consists of other plug-ins like this one that model themselves after classic analog equipment. PuigChild 660 is one of the best 660 plug-ins that I’ve used, as there are a few of them, but as is the case with all of these types of plug-ins, don’t expect these to give you a sound anything close to their hardware counterparts. The PuigChild 660 has an interface that shares just about the same parameters as the real 660 and Waves has done a great job of replicating the original look. These parameters include input gain, threshold, and time constant, which is another name for release. It also has an output gain knob, which I don’t believe is found on the original 660. It should be easy enough to use where a manual or outside assistance isn’t necessary.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I’m running the Waves Ltd. PuigChild 660 plug-in on my home system along with the full compliment of Waves plug-ins and the rest in the JJP Analog Legends bundle. My system is based with Pro Tools 9 and a Digi 002R audio interface along with a Mac Book Pro computer. The computer has 4 GB of RAM and a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, while I’m monitoring with a pair of Adam A7’s. This will take up more processing power than the Bomb Factory version, but still shouldn’t give users too many problems.
OVERALL OPINION
The Waves Ltd. PuigChild 660 is a pretty good compression plug-in when setting aside the hype it’s built up for itself being a replication of the classic Fairchild 660. It’s not my favorite compressor in the world, but is super easy to use and has a pretty good sound – especially for drums and guitars. I like it better than the Bomb Factory 660 and the Nomad Factory, although both are pretty good as well. They don’t sound close to the same to me however, as this one is a bit cleaner than the others, which isn’t really staying true to the original 660. Don’t expect this to be like a 660, but it’s a cool little compressor to have in the arsenal.
