THE BUS+ is the ultimate SSL Bus Compressor.

With THE BUS+, Solid State Logic have been on a mission to create the ultimate and most versatile incarnation of the Bus Compressor ever. The bedrock of the design remains faithful to the original circuit and using this as the foundation, they’ve built upon it, adding several unique colouration options and advanced processing tools. If you need it to be clean and punchy like the SuperAnalogue^TM 9000 Series version, it can be. If you need it to be gritty and grungy like an early 4000E, it can do that also. Or if you need over-the-top, saturated parallel compression for the drums, THE BUS+ has got you covered.

 Key features:

• The ultimate, most versatile incarnation of the Bus Compressor ever
• Authentic SSL Bus Compressor circuit utilising high-performance 2181 THAT VCAs.
• 4 modes of operation - Classic Stereo, S/C Stereo, Dual Mono or Mid-Side.
• New Attack and Release time constant options - more flexibility to shape the Bus Compressor, including the new 'Auto 2' setting.
• 3 distinct compression colouration options, which can be combined or used individually:
• 4K Mode - single VCA operation with variable harmonic distortion to bring some 'grit' and 'grunge' to the mix.
• LOW THD Mode reduces low-frequency distortion caused by compression, cleaning up the bottom-end.
• F/B Mode alters the compression characteristics for a more 'relaxed' style of compression.
• Outstanding sonic performance and stepped pots designed for mastering and precision processing applications. 
• Built-in 2-band Dynamic EQ (D-EQ).
• Transient Expander.
• Configurable processing order - Bus Compressor pre D-EQ (default) or post.
• External side-chain inputs and sends.
• Variable side-chain High-Pass Filter control up to 300 Hz in 10 Hz steps.
• Mix control for instant parallel compression.
