SSL SL 4000 E-Series

Shape

The SL 4000 E channel gives you a very musical gate/expander for your Console 1 unit. A variable release and a switchable hard/soft style gate allow you to shape your source to fit perfectly into your mix whether you pick a gentler style or an aggressive approach.

Equalizers

With our SL 4000 E plug-in, you get the famous black knob E242 equalizer from the SL 4000 E channel. George Martin helped develop this EQ circuit. It offered up to 18 dB of cut or boots and tighter control over low frequencies than the early SSL EQs. 

Compressors

You can use the classic channel compressor from the SL 4000 E in your Console 1 Mixing System. This flexible VCA compressor allows you to sweep a ratio to find the perfect sweet spot. The variable attack and release knobs assist you in timing your dynamics with complete control. 

Drive

We modeled the unique harmonics, distortion, and non-linearities you get from running the SL 4000 E into overdrive. Controlled by Console 1’s Drive knob, you can use it subtly on all channels to glue the mix together like a slightly overdriven SL 4000 E does, or not so subtly to add edge and presence to selected sounds.
