SSL G-Equalizer

Waves

Where to get itAvailable from Waveswaves.com

The SSL G-Equalizer is a 4-band EQ plugin modeled after SSL's classic G Series EQ292 rack unit, featuring shelving low and high frequency sections with parametric mid-range bands. It delivers the signature SSL console sound with extreme equalization capabilities, broader Q settings, and greater gain range than SSL's E-Series EQ, making it ideal for shaping and coloring audio downstream in a mix chain.
