Manufacturer description:

Unlock the sound of the SSL 4000 E, the famous British-made console that has added unmistakable clarity and punch to albums from Nirvana to Tupac, Dr. Dre, and Bruno Mars.

Add punch to vocals and instruments with our end-to-end emulation of the SSL 4000’s Jensen transformer-based preamp, then use precise EQ and classic VCA compression to hear your session come to life through one of the most revered analog channel strips ever made.

Turn Your DAW into a Classic SSL Console

In crafting the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection, our team of engineers dug deep into the SSL 4000 E hardware, faithfully modeling the original preamp’s Jensen input transformers and dbx "gold-can" VCA output section. This gives you all the punchy, assertive SSL tone that has become a hallmark of modern music.

Get Famed British EQ in Spades

The SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection plug-in features both the Type E 242 “black knob” and 001 “brown knob” four-band EQ and filters. The “brown” EQ is easy to dial in and musical, while the “black” is more surgical and clean. Both offer iconic SSL band interactions and amp modeling, adding punch to drums, presence to vocals, and heft to bass.

Expansion, Compression & More

From subtle dynamics control to in-your-face smack, the E Series’ compressor gives guitars presence, makes vocals “pop,” and can add clarity, punch, and depth to your drum bus. PRE-DYN controls let you place the EQ or filters before the dynamics section for tons of different timbres, while the DYN-SC buttons provide frequency-dependent compression using the EQ filters, cut filters, or both.
