SSL 4000 Collection

Channel Strip
Waves

The SSL 4000 Collection comprises two channel strip plugins (E-Channel and G-Channel) that model the dynamics and EQ sections of classic SSL 4000 Series consoles. Each combines a soft-knee compressor/limiter with an expander/gate alongside a four-band EQ, delivering the signature SSL 'punchy' sound with program-dependent compression and flexible routing. These plugins faithfully recreate the analog characteristics that defined decades of hit recordings.

Key Features

  • Soft-knee compressor/limiter with ratio adjustable 1:1 to infinity
  • Expander/gate with 0–40 dB range
  • Program-sensitive attack time (auto-sensing or 1 ms fast)
  • Four-band EQ with High Pass (18 dB/octave) and Low Pass (12 dB/octave) filters
  • E-Channel: HF and LF shelves reshaped to bell curves; G-Channel: HF/LF fixed shelves with HMFx3 and LMF/3 frequency multipliers
  • EQ routable to dynamics sidechain for de-essing and frequency-controlled dynamics
  • Pre-EQ or post-EQ dynamics switching
  • One-sample latency
