New Gear Alert: SSL EV2 Channel Plugin, Focusrite’s Hitmaker Expansion, Magic Dice by BABY Audio & More

Waves debuts the SSL EV2 Channel plugin.

Waves and SSL join forces for a ground-up redesign of the SSL 4000E console channel strip plugin.

Authorized by Solid State Logic, the Waves SSL EV2 Channel plugin is a brand new recreation of the legendary SSL 4000E console channel strip. With new features, including the original SSL “O2” Brown EQ and the console’s richly saturated mic pre and line inputs, SSL EV2 Channel delivers a new level of analog depth and detail—an elevated take on the timeless SSL sound.

Recreated from scratch using Waves’ new Precision Analog Component technology, the Waves SSL EV2 Channel has been modeled component-by-component from a meticulously maintained reference console, carefully selected by Solid State Logic.

Check out an introductory video of the Waves SSL EV2 Channel here.

The Waves SSL EV2 Channel is available now for a special introductory promo price of $39 (reg. $249).
