Description
SSL’s E-series changed the way that producers and engineers made music, but the G-series built on that legacy with a modern, punchier sound. The redesigned EQ, coupled with the E-series dynamics, powered thousands of hit albums—and continues to find favor today for rock and pop.
There’s a reason why SSL consoles have been used on more #1 hits in recent decades than any other console. Now, Waves’ meticulous modeling, licensed by SSL, captures all the nuances that made the G-series consoles legendary.
Unique Analog-Modeled EQ, Delicate to Punchy
The G-Channel models the SSL G-series’ newer VCAs, Class A operation, distinctive EQ curves, program-dependent dynamics—and even the noise and THD inherent in analog’s character, which you can turn on or off.
Unique EQ Design: High-Definition Highs, Warmer Lows
The G’s adaptive-Q design, with wider bandwidth at lower gains, encouraged a more delicate approach to EQ—yet turning up the gain narrows the Q when you need a forward, punchy EQ sound. Unlike standard designs, the shelving EQ stages have slight overshoot bumps at the shelving frequency. This gives warmer lows, as well as more high-frequency definition by giving a lift just above the midrange area.
Change Character with One Click
The high mid parametric’s HMFx3 button multiplies the frequency by 3, while the low mid parametric’s LMF÷3 button divides the frequency by 3. These options change the parametric stage’s character dramatically.
Design Your Dynamics
Tailor sounds going into dynamics, or process the post-dynamics tone, by placing the smooth, natural-sounding compressor/limiter and expander/gate before or after filter and EQ, or between them.
Next-Level Sidechaining
Reduce resonances, de-ess, maintain sparkle when compressing, keep basses full, and more—SSL augmented the sidechain process by allowing the filters, EQ, or filters and EQ, to process the sidechain signal.
Over 100 Presets by Legendary Producers and Engineers
115 presets from acclaimed producers and engineers like Chris Lord-Alge, Greg Wells, and Steve Lillywhite showcase the G-series’ effectiveness in a wide variety of applications.
