Solid State Logic has officially released the 4K G Channel Strip Plugin, a native emulation of the iconic SL 4000 G console channel. Offered at an introductory price of $99 through August 25, 2025, it is available in VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows.

Feature Highlights

• Circuit-modeled G-Series EQ and dynamics: Captures the refined tonal character of SSL’s G‑series, known for its polished and punchy response.
• Selectable EQ types: Toggle between the classic ‘Pink 292’ and ‘Black 242’ EQ curves to tailor tone shaping.
• Transformer-based mic preamp emulation: Includes a model of a Jensen input transformer and variable input impedance for color and response variation.
• Output stage modeling: Recreates the harmonic behavior of the THAT 2002 VCA output amplifier.
• HQ mode: Optional high-quality oversampling reduces aliasing for more transparent processing.

The SSL 4K G plugin delivers a distinct sonic signature of the G-Series era in a modern workflow—tight, clean, and subtly saturated. It is not a repackaged Channel Strip 2, but a new model focused on the G console’s unique traits.
