Studio Classics includes the industry-standard E-Channel and G-Channel strips, the new EV2 Channel with modeled mic pres and choice of ‘Black’ and ‘Brown’ EQs, the rare G-Equalizer, and the G-Master Bus Compressor—everyone’s favorite “glue.”

All Waves SSL plugins have been modeled with care from meticulously maintained reference consoles selected by Solid State Logic. The analog modeling process has been vetted and authorized by Solid State Logic to ensure authenticity and accuracy.

Modeled in close collaboration with API, the Waves API plugins capture all the musical character of the originals. Whether for solving problems or adding character, the 550A and 550B’s pioneering proportional-Q equalization curve fulfills the promise of musicality with accuracy, as does the overachieving 560 Graphic EQ.

API’s 2500 compressor has been newly embraced by cutting-edge mix engineers—its Thrust option gives killer kicks and booming bass. Nothing else can decrease low-frequency pumping, while compressing the highs so well.

V-Comp models the 2254’s diode-bridge gain technology and triple-transformer design—the secret behind many warm bus compressor and limiter sounds of the 60s and 70s. Four analog characters cover variations among models.

The iconic 1066, 1073, and 1081 preamp/EQ sounds are now yours. Span the sonic spectrum from the fat sounds of the 70s with the V-EQ3’s bold mids and transformer-rich body, to the V-EQ4’s precise, refined control.
