Oxford, UK, November 21, 2025 - Solid State Logic announces the release of The SSL Channel Strip Guide – the first resource of its kind to provide an overview of SSL’s analogue console history in a single document. For over four decades, SSL has pioneered console innovation, creating a lineage of designs each with their own character, technology, and sonic signature. Until now, there has never been a single guide that offers an overview of this heritage. The SSL Channel Strip Guide brings it all together for the very first time, tracing the journey from the groundbreaking 4000 B, E and G Series, through the monumental SuperAnalogue™ 9000 Series, to today’s flagship Duality Fuse and the revolutionary Future Analogue ORACLE, introduced earlier this year. The original 3232 console channel strip is also featured, marking SSL’s ongoing partnership with Nashville-based Harrison Audio.
The document, involving insight from some of SSL’s longest-serving engineers and audio experts, is available now as a free PDF download on the SSL site at https://solidstatelogic.com/channel-strip-guide
summarising each console’s channel strip. These are the very tools that have had an important role in shaping modern music creation over the past several decades. This guide aims to equip the next generation of producers and engineers with the knowledge to choose the right tools for the job.
Over the course of my 37 years at SSL, we’ve never had a single resource that captures the full breadth of our analogue console channel strip history. This guide finally brings together the character, technology, and sound of every channel strip, giving today’s creators the knowledge they need to make informed choices and carry our analogue legacy forward alongside our vision of the future
