SSL 4000 E CS
Of all the emulations I've tried, this is by far the best, look no further, it's incredible how it handles sound, the EQ curves are extremely musical unlike other emulations, buy it, you won't regret it.

No UADx Version
Good but dont expect to stack many of that on your mix
L. Banga
Everything I need on my pre amp
I was looking for a plugin that can do heavy processing but also provide pleasant sound when lightly processed. Not to mention the gate was the selling point for me. This took my recordings to another level
D. GHO
Great!
More 3d sound than other plugin
S. Lohrey
1 shot 1 kill
It's an SSL4000 E what needs to be said. I use it mainly for recording vocals but have found out it sounds incredible on guitar, bass and drums too. Highly recommend.

Simply the best channel strip.
R. Araya Letelier
Great sound, but there's a small but
Everything is great with this plugin, except for one thing: there are no values/numbers on the knobs, which is a bit of a bummer for me. At first, I thought it wouldn't matter, but coming from another emulation where I was able to deal exactly the values I was looking for, I've found myself missing this feeling of accuracy.
