The SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection is a meticulously crafted plugin that captures the iconic sound of the legendary SSL 4000 console, renowned for shaping countless platinum records since its debut in 1979. This collection offers a precise emulation of the original hardware’s bold and punchy character, delivering dynamic response and tonal richness that have made it a cornerstone in modern music production. Developed in close collaboration with Solid State Logic, this plugin ensures an authentic reproduction of the SSL 4000 E’s signature sonic qualities.

Designed for use with Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware, the plugin leverages Unison technology to provide real-time recording with genuine analog input impedance and gain staging. This results in an accurate analog feel that enhances the tracking experience, allowing producers and engineers to capture the essence of the classic SSL sound directly into their digital workflow. The inclusion of the Jensen transformer input amplifier and detailed nonlinear circuit behaviors further deepens the realism, making this plugin a faithful representation of the original analog gear.

The collection features exact emulations of the two popular SSL 4000 E channel EQ types, along with versatile filters and a flexible VCA compressor capable of producing everything from transparent dynamics control to aggressive compression effects. Additionally, the gate module offers a highly responsive operation with a no-chatter mode inspired by modern SSL designs, ensuring clean and precise gating. This comprehensive channel strip plugin combines vintage character with modern functionality, providing a powerful tool for shaping sound across various styles and genres.
