THE BUS+ Compressor - Professional Audio Compressor for Studio Recording, Live Performance & Podcasting | High-Quality Sound Processing for Music Production & Home Studios

Product Description

The Legend... Updated. If there is a single piece of analogue processing equipment that is synonymous with SSL, it must be the SSL Bus Compressor. From the very first commercially released SSL 4000B console in 1976 and through many generations of SSL consoles that have followed, the Bus Compressor has always been the stalwart of the console center section. For many of the world s top engineers and producers, the Bus Compressor continues to be the most relied upon processing tool for making mixes sound bigger and more complete, with drive and energy from adding that legendary SSL glue and punch. Solid State Logic has been on a mission to create the ultimate and most versatile incarnation of the Bus Compressor ever. The bedrock of the design remains faithful to the original circuit and using this as the foundation, SSL built upon it, adding several unique coloration options and advanced processing tools. If you need it to be clean and punchy like the SuperAnalogueTM 9000 Series version, it can be. If you need it to be gritty and grungy like an early 4000E, it can do that also. Or if you need over-the-top, saturated, parallel compression for the drums, THE BUS+ has got you covered. THE BUS+ circuit design utilizes high-grade components, including 2181 THAT VCAs for superior analogue performance, four modes of operation and 3 distinct compression coloration options which can be combined to perfectly suit the genre you re working on. THE BUS+ also packs in sophisticated routing options and advanced processing tools: Dynamic Equalizer (D-EQ), Transient Expander and so much more Innovation To complement the new feature set, SSL sought to bring improvements that would benefit recallability and technical performance. All of the pots on THE BUS+ are stepped and read by a microcontroller which translates the pots position into the required circuit configuration or electrical parameter. This innovative approach not only makes recall significantly easier; it also means
