SSL released Violet EQ Plug-in

SSL released Violet EQ, a 2-band minimum phase-shift shelving EQ from the critically acclaimed Fusion Stereo Analogue Colour processor. It is the first new Solid State Logic analogue EQ design in more than 25 years and is now available for you DAW.

Violet EQ draws on SSL’s legacy and deep understanding of production workflow to develop an exceptionally musical sounding EQ with carefully selected frequency points and response curves to offer the perfect balance of tone and control. Whether it’s adding high-end sheen to your masters or sculpting a bass line to fit perfectly in the mix, the simple but effective controls and exceptional sound quality of Violet EQ Plug-in will enhance your productions.

Above and beyond what is found on Fusion hardware, ‘FAT’ processor has been added to enhance Violet EQ Plug-in’s low frequency control. When the HPF is engaged, ‘FAT’ adds a subtle bump around the filters cut-off frequency, adding low-end punch back into the signal.
