The Only End-to-End SSL Bus Compressor Emulation
Embarking on a ground-up re-design of the original SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in, our team of engineers meticulously remodeled every nuance of the in-console and FX G384 rackmount specimens, including their unique CV (control voltage) summing. By capturing all of its circuit behaviors, the SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in gives you all of the famed SSL hallmarks — punchy, transparent glue, and an ultra-accurate stereo image.
Original Recipe
From subtle and transparent dynamic control to more aggressive textures with peak limiting, the SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in’s simple, intuitive control set lets you quickly dial in what you need. The fixed Attack and Release controls are SSL-voiced for bus functionality, including the program-dependent Auto Release function. Conjure "barely a wiggle" 2-bus glue, or "bury the needle" full dynamic crush with the continuous Threshold control.
Custom Enhancements
New workflow features make the SSL G Bus Compressor Collection even more vital for the modern producer/engineer. The internal Side Chain Filter allows you precise tailoring of low frequency response to reduce low-end “pumping,” while the Mix control provides inline dry/wet processing — perfect for quick parallel compression on a drum or vocal bus. The Headroom control lets you adjust the overall operating level of the plug‑in.
Fade to Black
Just like the console units, the new SSL G Bus Compressor features the original Auto Fade feature, providing the signature SSL fade taper, up to 60 seconds. With the new SSL G Bus Compressor, plus the included DSP-lite SSL G Bus Compressor Legacy plug-in, you can craft your projects with Platinum‑selling sound.
“The new SSL G Bus Compressor allows me to direct the listener's attention to the important elements of a song in a fluid and musical way. It’s a fantastic tool for mixing.”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)
“My favorite bus compressor reborn in plug-in form — the new new SSL G Bus Compressor captures all the punch and the vibe of the hardware. ”
– Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands)
“The new SSL G Bus Compressor is expertly modeled with useful enhancements. It’s my go-to punchy drum compressor. ”
– Peter Mokran (Christina Aguilera, The Flaming Lips)
“There are several plug-in versions of the SSL G Series Bus Compressor. But I always go with the UAD emulation because it sounds just like the hardware.”
– Phil Tan (Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Rihanna)Watch The Reviews

I was using a competitor's G Bus compressor but became discusted with that company and stopped using their software. This compressor is a suitable upgrade. If you have experience with the SSL Bus compressor sound, you'll recognize it immediately with this. It's instant. Great work! So glad to have this sound again.

By adjusting this setting, you can really achieve compression that's even more precise and better suited for each mixes. I highly recommend this plugin!

I have many softw. emulations of G BUS Comp including SSL's one, so I was very eager to check out the native demo from UAD and I am delighted.
I played with the original HW on a large console, but I don't have it. I have one from another company, with digital recall.
I always test compressor plugins on raw acoustic drums recordings, because then you can hear whether the compressor really destroys transients or not.
This one is supposedly quite an old plug-in, but it is gluey and punchy as hell on Mix-Bus and I consider it the best in this (SSL Bus-comp) role at the moment ITB, definitely.
Additionally - it barely touches the CPU.F. Ramal
Pure glue
Amazing for glue your mixes

This is a superb compressor. Very clean non-coloured sound that works excellently with drum material and many other things I've tried. Try a 10ms attack and a very quick release on a 10 ratio - dial it in using threshold and mix control, and adjusting the SC listen frequency. Don't get it to do too much work and it's brilliant on stereo or other busses.

Great price and quality
I cannot believe I managed to buy this for so cheap. It has such a great sound. Over the years I've always wanted to try UAD and now they're native, I can. Thanks UAD for bringing your stuff to us native users, I have a lot of your stuff now and I'm really impressed.

very good!!!
finally in the native version, although I have a UAD card, but in native mode it's super, less load on the card. 10 dollars is not a pity
