SSL G-Channel: the modern sound of SSL consoles

Based on the legendary SSL G-Series console, the Waves SSL G-Channel plug-in brings to digital the punchy, defined sound that has characterized thousands of rock and pop records. Thanks to SSL-sanctioned modeling, every sonic detail-from harmonic distortion to VCA behavior-is reproduced with absolute fidelity.

Innovative EQ for maximum precision

Adaptive-Q design enables surgical or musical interventions, depending on the gain setting. Shelving filters incorporate a slight overshoot that adds warmth in the low frequencies and brilliance in the highs, making EQ more vivid and three-dimensional.

Advanced dynamic control and flexible routing

With the ability to place dynamic processors before, after, or between filters and EQ, you can sculpt exactly the sound you want. Advanced sidechain implementation enables targeted interventions, from de-essing to precise resonance management.

Professional presets for every need

The plug-in includes 115 presets made by the likes of Chris Lord-Alge, Greg Wells, and Steve Lillywhite, offering an ideal starting point for all kinds of production.
