Description

Authorized by Solid State Logic SSL EV2 is a brand-new recreation of the legendary SSL 4000E console channel strip. Using proprietary Precision Analog Component technology SSL EV2 has been modeled component-by-component from a meticulously maintained reference console selected by SSL. Now you can choose between the original gritty SSL O2 Brown Knob EQ vs. the clean 242 Black Knob EQ. SSL EV2 also adds the consoles richly saturated mic pre and line inputs. The result is a new level of analog depth and detailan elevated take on the timeless SSL sound.

New Component-by-Component Modeling

Recreated from the ground up using Waves new Precision Analog Component technology SSL EV2 has been modeled component-by-component from a meticulously maintained reference console selected by Solid State Logic.

Saturate Your Tracks with Classic SSL Preamp Drive

You can engage THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) with the Analog switch a key element in recreating the saturated analog console soundor you can turn Analog off for a clean input.

Tailor Your Attack with Detailed Dynamics

The Dynamics section includes a soft-knee compressor/limiter and a gate/expander. The program-dependent dynamics responds sensitively to attacks or you can switch in a Fast Attack mode. Place dynamics before or after EQ and filters or between themtailor the sound going in and/or tweak the tone coming out. As in the original console makeup gain is applied automatically.

Control Your Sound with Versatile Sidechaining

Insert EQ or filters into the dynamics sidechain to retain the full round sound of bass or to keep the kick from compressing everything or for any pinpoint dynamics processing that affects only certain frequencies. You can also engage external sidechain for increased control over your dynamics.
