Plugin Boutique has announced a limited time promotion on Solid State Logic’s SSL Native Bus Compressor 2. The plug-in emulates the sound of the legendary SSL G-Series center section stereo bus compressor hardware. It applies compression across a mix bus to unify elements and add cohesion.
The SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 delivers a musical compression response that retains dynamic integrity, even at higher ratios. Solid State Logic notes that the hardware original is revered for making mixes “sound like a record.” The plug-in version includes unique features such as dry/wet signal blending for parallel processing and a sidechain highpass filter to reduce low-end pumping.
Mixing engineers and producers use this compressor on master buses, drum groups, or other subgroups to achieve a polished, professional sound. Its straightforward interface provides flexibility for various compression tasks in music production.
This deal matters because it lowers the barrier for accessing a staple tool in professional mixing workflows. The plug-in is now on sale for $19 USD, down from the regular price of $149 USD. The offer lasts until May 20th, 2026.
SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats on both Windows and Mac systems. These formats ensure compatibility with major digital audio workstations.
For bus compression, the plug-in processes stereo signals with the characteristic SSL sound, helping to control peaks while enhancing overall glue. Users can adjust attack, release, ratio, and threshold parameters to suit different material.
