🎚️ What Makes It Special?
✅ Faithful Analog Modeling
Channel Strip 2 is based on the SSL 9000 K SuperAnalogue™ console, renowned for its pristine, punchy, and detailed sound. This isn’t just a vague “vintage-inspired” EQ or compressor; it’s a full, console-style signal chain with true SSL topology, including:
-
High and Low-Pass Filters
-
4-Band Parametric EQ
-
Dynamics Section with Compressor, Limiter, Expander, and Gate
-
Fast, smooth, and responsive gain staging
🔄 A Complete Signal Flow — All In One Plugin
The modular channel layout emulates working on a real SSL console:
🔹 EQ Section
-
Classic SSL four-band parametric EQ
-
Switchable E-Series / G-Series EQ curves for two distinct sonic flavors:
-
E-Curve: Aggressive and punchy — great for drums and vocals.
-
G-Curve: More subtle and smooth — ideal for guitars and broader tonal shaping.
-
-
Wide gain range with Q control for surgical or musical adjustments.
🔹 Filters
-
Switchable High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters
-
Adjustable frequency cutoff for precise bandwidth control.
-
Ideal for cleaning up rumble, hiss, or unwanted low/high-frequency content.
🔹 Dynamics Section
-
Compressor/Limiter and Expander/Gate
-
SSL’s classic soft-knee compression sound
-
Program-dependent attack/release for natural control
-
Dynamics section can be placed pre- or post-EQ
-
Transparent gating for cleanup or creative punch
