Description
The channel strip EQ in SSL consoles has been a huge factor in the enduring popularity of the SSL sound. SSL produced several channel strip EQ variations over the years, with each type having its own special, distinct character. The 292 was one of the last iterations of SSL’s famed EQ designs.
The Waves SSL G-Equalizer is modeled after the rack-mounted version of SSL’s G 292 EQ, boasting the “pink knob” EQ. When engineers prioritize character and shape over detail, the fabled 292 is often their EQ of choice.
Go for More Extreme Character
Add the SSL G-EQ to your chain to create more extreme equalization than with the E-Channel Strip. Many engineers use the E-Channel’s EQ for detail work, adding the SSL G-EQ further down the chain to give the sound extra character.
More Sonic SSL Options
For the two parametric stages, the 292 has an increased boost/cut range up to ±20 dB—and ±17 dB for the shelving stages. This considerable increase over the original E-series EQs gives even more sonic options.
Sweeter Shelving
The shelving EQ stages have a slight pre-boost dip and pre-cut rise. This gives the low shelf warmer lows, while the high shelf has more definition and clarity from giving a lift just above the midrange area.
Change Character with One Click
The parametric stages can choose from two ranges—the high-mid stage’s HMFx3 button multiplies the center frequency by 3, while the low-mid stage’s LMF÷3 button divides the frequency by 3.
Faithful to the Original
The G-EQ models the noise and harmonic distortion of analog devices. Use the Analogue on/off switch to leave it in for analog character and a slight edge, or turn it off for pristine digital transparency.
