ok but not like the real deal
It is far better than the waves emulation so I gave it two stars but it is hungry as hog and doesn't bring the 4000e shine. I also bought the Plugin Alliance version and it smokes the Uaudio version, it has a 72 channel variation algorithm that makes the thing sound even more like the real deal and some harmonic distortion. Don't waste your money on this version, save it for the Neve pre or some reverb.

Versus a 500 Series SSL G Series Compressor, UAD wins
I cannot tell the difference sonically between an 500 series SSL G Series Bus Compressor and the UAD plugin version. Price wise there is a big difference, UAD Wins. The flexibility of the UAD version can't be beat.

Best of 4000
Best channel strip and bus compressor bundle, highly recommended.

Like lighting up a dim room...
UA and SSL’s products are legendary. Combine them and, well, the result is stunning. The sound of the SSL 4000e channel strip adds a brilliance to the track that is like lighting up a dimly lit room. You may not notice that the room needs a bit more light until you add it. That is the best analogy I can come up with. UAD NAILED it with their model! I love it so much I bought a DSP accelerator so I could use it on as many tracks as possible.

My new favorite
Use on all preamp and channel strips

The best emulation out there.
Comparing this to other versions from other renowned vendors, this is the best sounding of them all. Not much more to say. The SSL Bus Compressor goes on the drum bus almost every time, and now with improved punch and clarity. The SSL EQ is so precise and surgical. Using it as Unison opens up a dynamic mic like nothing else, even without enabling the EQ, Comp or the Mic Transformer for that sake. Just the gain stage and the switch of impedance does magic by it self.

Incredible!
I had the Waves version of this channel strip but the UAD version is far and away superior. No comparison. This plugin is where all my vocal tracks start.

色んなメーカーが出てる中でも特にuad 2は実機に近く多用しています。

Awesome a must have
It’s incredible what you can do with UAD from home.

A good deal
The Bus compressor is an essential tool for quite a few genres of music. It doesn't work for everything but is important enough to so much music to be an essential purchase. The legacy version doesn't have a wet/dry balance knob which is actually really handy so that's a pity. There's no real DSP excuse for not having a wet/dry knob!
The SSL channel strip is great and the legacy version is very good too. In fact, I use the legacy version much more than the new version! That's very good for my DSP usage!
The bundle actually saved me a lot of money so that's always a good thing.

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?
