The Waves Native SSL 4000 Collection includes four plug-ins based on the legendary SSL 4000 Series: the SSL G-Channel, the SSL E-Channel, the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, and the SSL G-Equalizer.

G-Master Buss Compressor
The Waves Native SSL 4000 G-Master Buss Compressor captures the unique sound of the original's IC input and twin VCA gain-reduction amplifier design.  Prized by top engineers for its ability to "glue together" tracks, the SL 4000 G-Master buss center compressor is ideal for taming piano dynamics or adding punch to drums and percussion. Now, the ultimate finalizer that transforms a mix into a finished record can be yours - in the box
-Threshold is continuously adjustable from -15dB to +15dB.
-Make Up Gain is continuously variable from -5dB to +15dB.
-Attack offers a choice of six attack rates: 0.1; 0.3; 1; 3; 10 and 30 ms.
-Release time can be set to 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 seconds, or automatic.
-Ratio is switchable between 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1.
-Rate-S sets the Autofade duration, from 1 to 60 seconds.
-Analog allows disabling of analog emulation.
-In serves as a bypass button.



E-Channel
The Waves Native SSL 4000 E-Channel delivers the incomparable sound of the Solid State Logic 4000-series console's all-discrete design and its Class A, VCA chip. It's a slice of the world's greatest hitmaking machine, in your computer. The equalization section of the SSL E-Channel is based on the renowned Black Knob equalizer. It features a High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, and a four-band parametric equalizer.  The dynamics section features a soft-knee compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E. Like the original, it can be placed before or after the equalization section, and makeup gain is automatically applied to maintain a steady output level.
-Equalization
 -Low Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from 20kHz to 3kHz.
 -High Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from15Hz to 350Hz.
 -High (HF) Choose from shelf (16.5dB/octave boost or cut) or bell shape (18dB/octave boost or cut with a fixed
   Q of 2.5). Range is from 1.5kHz to 16kHz. 
 -High Mid (HMF) Range is from 600Hz to 7kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±15dB
   when Q is set to 0.1 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.5.
 -Low Mid (LMF) Range is from 200Hz to 2.5kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±15dB
   when Q is set to 0.5 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.0.

-Compressor / Limiter
 -Ratio/Slope Variable from 1 to infinity (limiting).
 -Threshold Variable from +10dB to -20dB

 -Threshold Variable from -30dB to +10dB
 -Attack Normally auto-sensing (Slow), switchable to 1ms (Fast)
 -Release Variable from 0.1 to 4 seconds
 -Gate Toggles from Expander function (default) to Gate function




G-Channel
The Waves Native SSL 4000 G-Channel consolidates the equalization and dynamic controls of SSL G Series consoles into one convenient tool. The G-Channel EQ module delivers the original hardware's characteristic pre-boost dip, pre-cut rise, and broad Q for extreme frequency manipulation. The Dynamics section features soft-knee compression and limiting, a gate/expander, and automatic makeup gain for rock steady output levels. Together, they deliver the one-of-a-kind sound and convenient routing flexibility that have made the SSL G-Series console a control room classic.

G-Equalizer
Waves Native SSL 4000 G-Equalizer is modeled on the SSL G Series EQ292, and offers greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and a slightly different curve. The SSL G-Equalizer includes a pre-boost dip and a pre-cut rise, as well as a broader Q for more extreme equalization. That's why many leading engineers use the E-Channel's equalization for detailed problem-solving and mixing, and the SSL G-Equalizer to shape and give character to the sound.

  0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±20dB when Q is set to 3.5 to ±15dB when Q is set to 0.1. The x3 button allows you
  to multiply the selected frequency by three.
