The SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor is a faithful circuit emulation of the legendary SSL 4000 G console's bus compressor, delivering the iconic SSL 'glue' and dynamic control that defined hit records across generations. This plugin features a fully revamped algorithmic circuit model with continuously variable sidechain high-pass filtering, wet/dry mix control, and headroom adjustment for flexible mastering and mix bus processing. It excels at adding cohesion and punch to stereo masters, drum buses, and individual sources with transparent to aggressive compression characteristics.
