{"product_id":"waves-ssl-g-channel","title":"Waves SSL G-Channel","description":"\u003cp\u003eSSL’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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnique Analog-Modeled EQ, Delicate to Punchy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnique EQ Design: High-Definition Highs, Warmer Lows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChange Character with One Click\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Your Dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTailor 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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNext-Level Sidechaining\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce 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.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOver 100 Presets by Legendary Producers and Engineers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e115 presets from acclaimed producers and engineers like Chris Lord-Alge, Greg Wells, and Steve Lillywhite showcase the G-series’ effectiveness in a wide variety of applications.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48325556371705,"sku":"1358-2982","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/ssl-g-channel.jpg?v=1777276866","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/waves-ssl-g-channel","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
