I haven t used the hardware version from the console that this is modeled after but everyone i ve talked to who has says that this and the other plug ins in the 4000 plug in collection should pretty damn close to the real thing.
As well as the ratio from 1 5 1 to 10 1 makes it a great buss compressor of all time.

The software is downloaded straight off the waves website for installation.
This ssl bus compressor clone has been around for a long time but i find it still holds up nicely.
The waves ssl g master bus compressor is a classic plugin modeled after a classic compressor.
Attack offers six stepped choices ranging from 0.
I tend to use a multi band compressor on the stereo buss but the g master buss was on the output of ssl consoles throughout the late 80s and early 90s.
