AnalogX – Funky Junky: Classic G Preamp Emulations (GENESIS)
Exclusive to Genesis | Modelled at 48kHz | Powered by our High Quality Modelling Tier | Calibrated -18 with Red Drive at 0
Inspired by the Mighty SSL:
The SSL 4000 G is a legend — not just for its punchy EQ or gluey compressor, but for the unmistakable mojo in its Class-A/B mic/line preamp stage. The AnalogX Funky Junky brings you the definitive emulation of that signal path, sampled from a pristine vintage G series input channel and recreated using our ultra-high-fidelity modelling architecture. The result? A punchy, vibey, harmonically rich preamp that actually sounds like an SSL.
We’vemodelled every gain stage — from clean to absolutely saturated — so you can shape vocals, drums, synths, and buses with the same gritty precision and musical tone heard on decades of hit records.
🎚️ What’s Inside
7 gain stages from subtle mix enhancement to full-blown analog drive:
These profiles allow you to match the exact input level and coloration you’d expect from pushing a real SSL G console preamp. Just set your input to -18 dBFS RMS, leave the red drive knob at 0 (12 o’clock), and choose your flavor.
🧬 A Brief History
The SSL 4000 series revolutionized the sound of records in the late '70s and early '80s, ushering in a new era of punchy, precise, and mix-forward production. Behind that iconic “radio-ready” sound was the G-series preamp — a transformerless, solid-state design that delivered fast transient response, tight low end, and a hint of musical edge when driven hard.
These preamps were the backbone of studios like Electric Lady, The Hit Factory, and Olympic, and featured on albums from artists such as Michael Jackson, Queen, Madonna, and countless others. While the EQs and compressors get the fame, the preamp is where the magic begins.
