not a fan of the legacy version but loving the other one
I love this plugin but I don't like legacy version too much and I ended not using it for now, it's big brother is a beast though so five stars and I think I will need a satellite quite soon

The prefect all-in-one preamp solution.
I wanted the perfect unison plugin. Something else than what's included with UAD hardware. More than just a gain stage. But it's a wonderful gainstage. Clean with loads of headroom, but yet still with a distinct color. On top of that; the best and most true sounding "in the box" EQ that I've come to know. Open and direct, and yet it can still be agressive and punchy. Lovely dynamics too, and finally a nice gate good for live use.
When used in unison mode, it really opens up the mic signal. Even without any EQ/compression/transformer enabled and driven gain input. It's gotta come down to the impedance switching. You can hear the mic's noise floor raises a bit. I used a simple dynamic beta 58. But it's very little compared to the openness that occured. While tracking you immediately hear the vocal 'sits' differently than when you bypass it.
For obvious reasons, I can't tell if it's the same as the hardware, as some say. But it wouldn't surprise me. The cleanness, openness, precision and punchiness reminds me very well of a certain era in music history.
A really nice one, and it shows that the unison concept has something very special to it. Gonna use this one a lot. But heavy on the DSP it is. But obviously not without a reason.

Great emulation but heavy on dsp
This plugin gives the fast almost jumping dynamics of a real SSL E channel, I gave 3 stars because of the dsp load. I believe while reviewing uad plugins, its better to consider both ends because we pay for both right?

This has been crowned my goto bus compressor...
The G bus compressor is superb. While it shines and sounds great without any additives at all. The addition of the sidechain is clearly the stamp that sold me. This saves time and headaches.

80s flavour
Big fan of SSL sound and in my opinion this plugin sounds much better than the other SSL emulations. Clean, bright sound, fits perfectly for DI funky guitar sound from 80s pop hits like Billie Jean, Like a Virgin, etc.

The Most Versatile UAD Plugin
Just this one person's opinion, but if I put the SSL on anything, engage the EQ, and flip between brown and black I know I'm instantly going to get a better sound. My favorite thing to do is to put this on my 'all music buss', flip to the mic pre, gain match the output and just flip on the EQ. Brown is more earthy/bassy, black is more clean and tight. Perfection. Thanks UAD!

Fantastic plugin
This thing is a beast. I will never be able to own a physical SSL Console but now I can get the same emulated sound of one. It is responsive and colourful. I like it.

Overall Great SSL Channel Strip
The strength of the 4KE is in pre-recording, where it can really shape a sound before printing it to the DAW. There is enough in terms of EQ, filers, and dynamics to handle just about any type of source. The G-Bus compressor also works well at the end of the process, though it can be used in pre-print with the channel strip. Being able to side chain EQ and filers into the dynamics can solve some problems and the fade out on the G-Bus is gold.
The one great flaw is the legacy version of the channel strip proved to be fairly weak in its low shelf eq. I just could not make use of it and had to use the high end model if I wanted to really shape law end sounds with the low shelf.

Great compressor
Very good musical compressor, glue it all!

All make sense
SSL 4000 series make sense together. You have to use all 3 plugins from SSL 4000 series console bundle to get full potential of this plugins.

It is like a instrument
This bundle is very good.
The eq is like the instrument, you can shape sound as you like, plus give you taste of ssl sound
Thank you

I Don't like the idea of free reviews. But these plugins are really good.
I am using the SSL Comp on almost everything. And I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
