SSL G-Equalizer

The SSL G-Equalizer by Waves is a meticulous emulation of the rack-mounted SSL G 292 EQ, the ‘pink knob’ classic prized for its characterful tone shaping. This plugin delivers the smooth, musical response that made the 292 a favorite among engineers who value vibe over surgical precision. Its proportional-Q design means boosts and cuts widen gently as you push them, resulting in a more natural, less phasey sound. You get two parametric bands and two shelving bands, plus high- and low-pass filters, with handy HMFx3 and LMF÷3 buttons for quick frequency switching. The steep high-pass filter tightens up low-end rumble, while the analog on/off switch lets you toggle between rich analog coloration and clean digital transparency. Ideal for adding SSL glue and punch to drums, vocals, and mix buses, the G-Equalizer suits hobby producers and seasoned mixers alike who want classic console character in their DAW.
