    Description

    Unlock the sound of the SSL 4000 E, the famous British-made console that has added unmistakable clarity and punch to albums from Nirvana to Tupac, Dr. Dre, and Bruno Mars. Add punch to vocals and instruments with our end-to-end emulation of the SSL 4000's Jensen transformer-based preamp, then use precise EQ and classic VCA compression to hear your session come to life through one of the most revered analog channel strips ever made.

    Features:

    • Track and mix through a stunning emulation of a vintage SSL analog channel
    • NEW! Get external side-chaining with UAD Native plug-in version — no Apollo required
    • Get the full character of SSL's Jensen transformer-based preamps
    • Sculpt your sources with both Type E "black" and "brown" knob EQ and filters
    • Harness the famous SSL VCA Compressor and Gate for incredible dynamics control
    • Mix with artist presets from Just Blaze (Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar), Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers), Ian Boxill (Prince, Tupac), and more

    Turn Your DAW into a Classic SSL Console
    In crafting the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection, our team of engineers dug deep into the SSL 4000 E hardware, faithfully modeling the original preamp's Jensen input transformers and dbx "gold-can" VCA output section. This gives you all the punchy, assertive SSL tone that has become a hallmark of modern music.

    Get Famed British EQ in Spades
    The SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection plug-in features both the Type E 242 "black knob" and 001 "brown knob" four-band EQ and filters. The "brown" EQ is easy to dial in and musical, while the "black" is more surgical and clean. Both offer iconic SSL band interactions and amp modeling, adding punch to drums, presence to vocals, and heft to bass.

    Expansion, Compression and More
    From subtle dynamics control to in-your-face smack, the E Series' compressor gives guitars presence, makes vocals "pop," and can add clarity, punch, and depth to your drum bus. PRE-DYN controls let you place the EQ or filters before the dynamics section for tons of different timbres, while the DYN-SC buttons provide frequency-dependent compression using the EQ filters, cut filters, or both.

    Add Depth and Openness with any UAD hardware
    Of course, the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection isn't just for Apollo owners. UAD-2 owners can use the SSL E Channel Strip on any source, without going outside the box. With the SSL E Channel Strip's complete console channel emulation, plus the included DSP-lite SSL E Channel Strip Legacy plug-in, you can craft your projects with Platinum‑selling sound.

    Unison Technology for Apollo
    Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip plug-in gives you the hardware's mic/line preamp impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and exact circuit behaviors. Just insert the plug-in into the Apollo's Unison preamp slot to track in real time through a perfect SSL modeled preamp.
