SSL Guitarstrip is a powerful guitar processing plugin designed to enhance electric, acoustic, and bass guitar tones with ease. It offers four specialized processing modules that streamline tone shaping during both pre-mix and mixing phases. The plugin is crafted to provide musicians and producers with essential tools to refine their guitar sounds, delivering professional results in a user-friendly interface.

At the heart of Guitarstrip is the DRIVE module, featuring two classic analogue tube amp emulations tailored for guitar and bass. This module allows users to add overdrive, distortion, or subtle saturation to their direct input signals, enhancing harmonic content and character. Controls like BOOST, PUNCH, EDGE, and SHAPE enable precise crafting of the drive’s tonal qualities, while the DRIVE MIX control offers flexible blending between clean and distorted signals, making it ideal for electrifying acoustic guitars or adding grit to bass tracks.

Beyond drive, Guitarstrip includes a dedicated compressor with five preset response types to manage dynamics and add punch quickly. The plugin also features an intuitive phase correction module to resolve phase problems between multiple guitar recordings, utilizing delay, phase invert, and allpass filtering. This module can even enhance stereo depth when applied creatively. Complementing these tools is a straightforward 3-band EQ with an asymmetrical low gain control and automatic band auditioning, providing precise tonal adjustments to complete the guitar processing chain.
