SSL 4K G: Channel Strip Plug-in Modeled on the 4000 G Console

The 4K G includes the Pink 292 and Black 242 EQ models. The 292 uses a variable Q design, so smaller boosts and cuts produce broader curves, while the 242 uses constant Q. Solid State Logic notes that the 292 is often used for gentle shaping and the 242 for more precise work.

The HMF and LMF bands can be shifted to the outer ends of the frequency range using the HMF x3 and LMF ÷3 selector switches from the 292. This allows wide or narrow bell curves in the low and high regions, in addition to the standard LF and HF shelves.

The channel dynamics section is modeled on the 4000 G compressor, which the developer describes as tighter and more refined than earlier 4000-series designs. A Compressor Mix control and make-up gain configuration are included in the advanced settings.

The mic preamp models the Jensen JT-115K-E transformer from the 4000 E series, with adjustable saturation. A Variable Mic Input Impedance control, taken from the FX383 G-Series outboard unit, and output fader VCA modeling add further coloration.
