Developed under license from Solid State Logic, The Waves SSL 4000 Collection includes three
meticulously modeled plug-ins based on the legendary SSL 4000 Series: the SSL E-Channel,
the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, and the SSL G-Equalizer. Waves engineers spent more
than a year analyzing and modeling the distinctive sonic characteristics of SL 4000 factory
reference consoles and components provided by Solid State Logic. These plug-ins sound so
close to the original consoles, even experts who work with SSL boards day in and day out
can’t tell the difference.
The Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor
captures the unique sound of the SL 4000 G
console’s renowned master buss center
compressor, including its IC input and twin
VCA gain-reduction amplifier design. This
compressor has long been prized by top
engineers for its ability to “glue together”
tracks, and is considered by many to be the
ultimate finalizer that transforms a mix into
a finished record. It's also ideal for taming
piano dynamics or adding punch to drums
and percussion.
◆ Continuously variable Threshold (±15dB), and Make Up Gain (-5dB
to +15dB).
◆ Six switchable Attack rates (0.1; 0.3; 1; 3; 10 and 30 ms), and switch-
able Ratio between 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1.
◆ Release time is switchable between 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 seconds or
to automatic.
◆ The Analog switch disables analog emulation; In serves as a bypass
button; and Rate-S sets the Autofade duration, from 1 to 60 secs.
G-Master Buss Compressor
The SSL
G-Equalizer
is modeled
on the SSL
G Series
EQ292, the
engineer's
choice for creative sound shaping. This four-band equalizer offers
greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and a slightly different curve.
The SSL G-Equalizer delivers the original's pre-boost dip and pre-cut rise
which contribute to its characteristic sonic signature, in addition to a
broad Q for extreme equalization.
G-Equalizer
◆ High Pass Filter 18dB/octave, 16Hz – 350Hz. Filter on/off switch.
◆ The four EQ sections are comprised of High and Low Shelving bands
with ±17dB boost/cut and frequency ranges of 30Hz – 450Hz (Low)
and 1.5kHz – 16kHz (high); and High and Low Medium Frequecny
bands, with varibale Q, and bosst and cut ranges from ±15db to
±20db, depending on the Q settings.
◆ Other controls include the EQ In bypass swith, Phase Reverse, -24 /
+12 dB Master Output, and a Trim button that indicates the amount
of headroom before digital clipping.
E-Channel: The SSL E-Channel consists of two sections that deliver the characteristic sound of the original. The
equalization section is based on the renowned Black Knob equalizer, developed in 1983 by SSL in association with
legendary producer George Martin. It features a steeper high pass filter for tighter low frequency control and enhanced
cut and boost ranges, with a smoother EQ curve and flexible routing. The dynamics section features a soft-knee
compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E. Like its hardware counterpart, it includes a
soft-knee compressor/limiter and powerful expander/gate, as well as automatic makeup gain for steady output levels.

The Compressor/Limiter features variable Ratio/Slope
from 1 to infinity; Threshold from +10dB to -20dB; and
Release from 0.1 to 4 seconds. Attack is switchable from
Auto-sensing (Slow), to 1ms (Fast)
The Expander/Gate has a variable Range from 0 to
40dB; Threshold from -30dB to +10dB and Release from
0.1 to 4 seconds. Attack is switchable from Auto-sensing
(Slow), to 1ms (Fast). Gate toggles the Expander and
Gate functions.
The Equalization section features Low and High Pass
Filters with 18dB/octave slopes,The High (HF) and Low
(LF) bands are each switchable between shelf (±16.5dB)
or bell shape (±18dB) with a fixed Q of 2.5. Range is from
1.5 to 16 kHz and 30 to 400 Hz respectively. The High
and Low Mid each have 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. Range is from 600Hz to 7kHz and
200Hz to 2.5kHz respectively.
