CHAPTER 54
SSL G Bus Compressor
Large Format Console Dynamics
The SSL G Series Bus Compressor plug-in for UAD-2 is an incredibly faithful
circuit emulation of the legendary SSL 4000 G console’s bus compressor. The
undeniable drive and punch of this G Series master compressor — modeled
to exacting detail by Universal Audio and fully authenticated by Solid State
Logic® — helped make the original 4000 G Series the world's most success-
ful studio production console. Engineers have come to rely on this master com-
pressor to “glue together” mixes like nothing else, as well as patching into it
for wonderful results on drums, pianos and more.
With simple, intuitive controls and transparent compression characteristics,
the G Series Bus Compressor plug-in for UAD-2 captures the iconic SSL sound
with stunning accuracy. Plug-in controls comprise fixed Compression Ratios
(2:1, 4:1 and 10:1), and Attack and Release controls with program-depen-
dent Auto Release function. Continuous Threshold Control and Make-Up
Gain, compressor bypass, and the original Auto Fade (1-60 seconds) feature
provide full operational authenticity.
