SSL Bus Compressor 2 – Punchy, Flexible and Easy to Use

SSL Bus Compressor 2 is a very convincing emulation of the classic SSL bus compressor sound. It adds punch, cohesion, and energy without making the mix feel overly compressed.

For the current promotional price, it is an excellent purchase even if you already own another SSL-style bus compressor.
