SSL EV2 Black Friday pricing from Waves comes to 79% off, which puts the SSL EV2 Channel plugin at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It's a channel strip plugin built on the SSL 4000E console channel, and it carries the authorization of Solid State Logic. Waves says it was modeled component by component from a reference console that SSL selected and maintained.
The maker calls it a brand-new recreation of the SSL 4000E strip. It uses what Waves calls Precision Analog Component technology to capture the circuit behavior.
One channel gives you a mic/line preamp, filters, an EQ, dynamics and an output section. You can place the EQ or the filters before or after the dynamics, so you can rearrange the signal chain per source.
An analog switch adds THD for console-style saturation. Turn it off and you get the digital clarity of a plain plugin signal path.
Sidechaining is available both internally and externally, with flexible routing options.
On Mac, the SSL EV2 VST runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On Windows 10 and later, it comes in VST and AAX.
The Black Friday deal covers the SSL EV2 Channel plugin from Waves, so you can pick up the strip as a single in-the-box channel for tracking or mixing.
