SSL G Series Bus Compressor Plug-In

Exacting Circuit Emulation of Hit-Making SSL 4000 G Series Master Compressor

The SSL G Series Bus Compressor plug-in for UAD-2 is an incredibly faithful circuit emulation of the legendary SSL 4000 G console's bus compressor. The undeniable drive and punch of this G Series master compressor — modeled to exacting detail by Universal Audio and fully authenticated by Solid State Logic® — helped make the original 4000 G Series the world's most successful studio production console. Engineers have come to rely on this master compressor to "glue together" mixes like nothing else, as well as patching into it for wonderful results on drums, pianos and more.

With simple, intuitive controls and transparent compression characteristics, the G Series Bus Compressor plug-in for UAD-2 captures the iconic SSL sound with stunning accuracy. Plug-in controls comprise fixed Compression Ratios (2:1, 4:1 and 10:1), and Attack and Release controls with program-dependent Auto Release function. Continuous Threshold Control and Make-Up Gain, compressor bypass, and the original Auto Fade (1-60 seconds) feature provide full operational authenticity.

    Great for giving your mix that final "hot glue." I have it on my master buss compressing about 1-2dB and it's absolutely great for gluing bass and drums with the rest of the mix. It's subtle but it's definitely there. … Read more

    I've used other native versions of this plugin, but none of them compare to this Universal Audio modelled version. If you must have the best plugin version of the SSL G series compressor, look no further. … Read more

    OK well - I researched this all across the net - read up on it all over the forums... It was interesting - I knew I needed a great Buss Compressor but was reluctant to spend hard earned cash on this puppy!. Suffice to say I bought it after demoing it against almost every other comp available f … Read more
