The Sound of The Console
That Powered Thousands of Hits

SSL’s E-series changed the way that producers and engineers made music, but the G-series built on that legacy with a modern, punchier sound. The redesigned EQ, coupled with the E-series dynamics, powered thousands of hit albums—and continues to find favor today for rock and pop.
There’s a reason why SSL consoles have been used on more #1 hits in recent decades than any other console. Now, Waves’ meticulous modeling, licensed by SSL, captures all the nuances that made the G-series consoles legendary.
Re-Create SSL G’s Analog Sound in Your DAW
Unique Analog-Modeled EQ, Delicate to Punchy
The G-Channel models the SSL G-series’ newer VCAs, Class A operation, distinctive EQ curves, program-dependent dynamics—and even the noise and THD inherent in analog’s character, which you can turn on or off.

Unique EQ Design: High-Definition Highs, Warmer Lows
The G’s adaptive-Q design, with wider bandwidth at lower gains, encouraged a more delicate approach to EQ—yet turning up the gain narrows the Q when you need a forward, punchy EQ sound. Unlike standard designs, the shelving EQ stages have slight overshoot bumps at the shelving frequency. This gives warmer lows, as well as more high-frequency definition by giving a lift just above the midrange area.
Change Character with One Click
The high mid parametric’s HMFx3 button multiplies the frequency by 3, while the low mid parametric’s LMF÷3 button divides the frequency by 3. These options change the parametric stage’s character dramatically.

Design Your Dynamics
Tailor sounds going into dynamics, or process the post-dynamics tone, by placing the smooth, natural-sounding compressor/limiter and expander/gate before or after filter and EQ, or between them.
Next-Level Sidechaining
Reduce resonances, de-ess, maintain sparkle when compressing, keep basses full, and more—SSL augmented the sidechain process by allowing the filters, EQ, or filters and EQ, to process the sidechain signal.
