The SSL EV2 does a terrific job of recreating the sound of the SSL4000. It comes in VST 2/3, AU, AAX, and RTAS formats. SSL EV2 Channel is available for Windows 10 or higher and macOS 10.13.6 or higher, both 64-bit only.

– Dynamic Sidechain: Turns the EQ into an internal equalizer for the compressor. – Channel out on: Here, you get the filters, the EQ, and the compressor at the end. – Split on: In this mode, the filters are placed first, and then the signal passes through the dynamics and EQ. – Default: The signal goes to the dynamics first, then the filters, then the EQ last.

On this rebooted version of the SSL channel strip, you get several routing possibilities: We advise you to use these presets as a start point and take it from there. The SSL EV2 includes many presets made by Grammy-award-winning producers and engineers to get you quickly set up and make it easier to see what this plugin can do. The black one sounds cleaner and is better for vocals and guitars. The brown one mimics the sound and reaction of the older SSL4000 consoles and is better for drums and bass. When turned on, you’ll get the harmonic distortion from the original console, and when off, you get a modern type of distortion.Īt the very top of the EQ section, two switches give you two choices for the sound and reaction of the EQ. In this version of the SSL 4000, you get all you need to make your tracks sound great, as it includes a mic/line preamp, the standard compressor, expander, filters, two EQ types, and stereo enhancing features.Īt the top, there’s a button labeled “Analog,” which you can turn on and off to change the color of your preamp saturation.
