Brand
SOLID STATE LOGIC
The Solid State Logic XLogic G Series Stereo Bus Compressor is a legendary 1U rackmount dynamics processor designed to deliver the iconic SSL “glue” sound used on countless professional recordings. Based on the classic SSL G-Series console center-section compressor, it uses SuperAnalogue VCA circuitry to provide clean, punchy, and highly musical compression that enhances mix cohesion without sacrificing clarity. It features selectable attack and release settings, ratio control, external sidechain input, and an auto fade function for smooth level transitions. Widely regarded as a studio standard for mix bus and drum bus processing, the XLogic G Series compressor delivers tight low-end control, enhanced punch, and professional analog depth in a compact rack unit.
Solid State Logic XLogic 1U G Series Stereo Compressor – Classic Mix Bus “Glue” Processor
The Solid State Logic XLogic 1U G Series Stereo Compressor is a professional-grade analog dynamics processor based on the iconic SSL G Series console bus compressor. Designed for mixing, mastering, and subgroup processing, it delivers the famous SSL “glue” that has shaped countless hit records.
Legendary SSL G Series Bus Compression
This unit recreates the stereo bus compressor found in the center section of SSL’s G Series large-format consoles. It is widely known for its ability to subtly tighten and “glue” a full mix together without destroying punch or dynamics when used correctly.
Classic VCA-Based Compression Character
The compressor uses a high-quality VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) design, known for its precise control and clean yet musical response. It provides selectable ratios, attack, and release settings that allow everything from gentle mastering compression to more aggressive pumping effects.
Mix Bus “Glue” Effect
The signature sound of this compressor comes from its ability to unify a stereo mix. It gently levels dynamic peaks while enhancing cohesion between drums, bass, vocals, and instruments, resulting in a tighter and more polished overall sound.
Flexible Stereo Processing
The unit is permanently stereo-linked for consistent left/right behavior, making it ideal for mix bus and mastering applications. External sidechain input allows frequency-dependent compression control for more refined dynamic shaping.
Auto Fade and Utility Features
In addition to compression, the XLogic G Series includes an auto fade function with adjustable rate control, allowing smooth fades in and out during mixdown or broadcast applications.
Professional Studio Integration
Built in a 1U rackmount chassis, the compressor integrates into professional analog studios and hybrid digital setups. It is commonly used on stereo mix buses, drum buses, and mastering chains.
