Great sound, but there's a small but
Everything is great with this plugin, except for one thing: there are no values/numbers on the knobs, which is a bit of a bummer for me. At first, I thought it wouldn't matter, but coming...

Simply the best channel strip.

Great sound, but there's a small but
Everything is great with this plugin, except for one thing: there are no values/numbers on the knobs, which is a bit of a bummer for me. At first, I thought it wouldn't matter, but coming from another emulation where I was able to deal exactly the values I was looking for, I've found myself missing this feeling of accuracy.

perfect sound! thank you!
B. Schultz
Amazing
I got it after watching some Andy Wallace bass tricks. I’ve always been the API/Neve dude. My mind (on Kik and bass) is blown! FYI I was trained by Kellgren/Olsen/A.Johns and a few more of those rarified air guys. Andy W has earned his bones.
FYI: The UAD plugin is better than the SSL native versionC. Kriisa
must have
Top tier >)

Excellent Sound
I have other versions of this channel strip, but this UA version definitely has the edge over the one I was using before, the PA version, and the compressor sounds better than the SSL plugin I have..

Legend
As people already know, the SSL is legend. Bus Comp for the mixbus, and the Channelstrip is all I need to finalize the vocals.
