The legendary SSL Bus Compressor goes Multiband: Solid State Logic Launches G3 MultiBusComp Plug-In
G3 MultiBusComp Plug-in enhances the renowned G-Series Bus Compressor with multiband processing and advanced feature set, bringing new production power and versatility to the renowned glue & punch maker.
Oxford, England, July 27, 2023 — Solid State Logic announces its latest plug-in, the G3 MultiBusComp. The new plug-in, which leverages SSL's storied legacy in compression technology, adds multiband capabilities and advanced processing tools to the renowned G Series glue & punch maker. G3 MultiBusComp is available now in several formats including VST2, VST3, AAX and AU as part of the ever-growing SSL Complete subscription from $14.99 per/m (Ts&Cs apply), SSL’s Rent To Own plan, and perpetual purchase.
Once, twice, three times the G Comp
The SSL G3 MultiBusComp Plug-in takes the original G-Series Bus Compressor and enhances it with multiband technology, advanced processing, and powerful sidechain routing. It is a must-have production tool for producers and engineers looking to achieve the SSL sound in their mixes, delivering the classic SSL "glue" compression across three independently configurable frequency bands. Whether it’s adding that final polish to a production, carving space in a mix with its powerful sidechain routing, or dialling in precise settings to rectify problematic recordings, G3 MultiBusComp is suitable for any genre and brings a new level of versatility to bus processing.
“Our new G3 MultiBusComp represents yet another significant addition to our growing portfolio of plug-ins," says Jon Sandman, Plug-ins Product Manager at SSL. “With three distinct bands of compression, intelligent sidechaining options and other powerful features such as auto gain compensated 4K Drive, this is a must have plug-in for anyone involved with mixing or mastering."

4K Drive, powerful sidechaining, and parameter linking
Add the perfect amount of warmth and character with G3 MultiBusComp’s 4K Drive control. Based on SSL’s iconic SL 4000 Series, 4K Drive brings the renowned saturation characteristics and larger-than-life sound of the 4K console to G3 MultiBusComp. Available independently across each processing band, with the option to blend or ‘parallel’ with the original signal thanks to a wet/dry mix setting, 4K Drive can be cranked on a subgroup or added delicately to a master.
G3 MultiBusComp offers powerful sidechain routing and processing, enabling users to customise the high pass and low pass filter cutoffs for each band, accentuate or diminish specific frequencies using the per-band bell filter, and independently trigger each band from an externally routed sidechain signal within your DAW. Advanced parameter linking found in G3 MultiBusComp is an enormous time saver, as it allows users to automatically apply inverse changes between selected parameters on the fly.
Intelligent workflow
G3 MultiBusComp's auditioning feature offers mutually exclusive soloing on each band and each band's sidechain input, enabling users to hear each band in isolation to make more informed mix decisions. With a resizeable GUI that can be adjusted from 50% to 200%, the G3 MultiBusComp provides a comfortable user experience that can be customized to a user's specific needs.
