Solid State Logic has ventured into the world of guitar processing with Guitarstrip plug-in.
Part of the SSL Complete subscription and in several formats including VST2, VST3, AAX and AU, Guitarstrip brings SSL’s mixing experience to musicians and producers working in-the-box. The new plug-in complements the Drumstrip and Vocalstrip 2 plug-ins, and enables users to access mix-ready guitar tones faster and with greater efficiency. Aside from classic tube amplifier emulations, Guitarstrip also contains SSL’s EQ and dynamics processing, as well as phase correction controls.
In addition to the Drive module, which also contains Boost, Punch, Edge and Shape controls to help sculpt harmonics, Guitarstrip contains three other modules: Phase Correction, which helps identify and resolve common phasing issues; Compressor, which contains five selected compression presets as well as an Auto-Gain feature; and EQ, which has a simplified three-band channel for tonal shaping among other features.
‘Guitarstrip is a fantastic solution for both recording and mixing, and a great all-rounder for electric, acoustic and bass guitars,’ says Jon Sandman, Product Manager of plug-ins at SSL. ‘Guitarists will appreciate the Drive module, which can be used to achieve anything from a clean and subtle tone, to trashy, overdriven distortion.’
