    Brainworx bx_console SSL 9000 J

    After mixing in the box exclusively for 15 years, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the 9000 J plugin. The SL 9000 J was my console of choice for many years and a major part of my mix sound. It was the perfect balance between a SSL G series console and a Neve VR console. This plugin does just the same, it gives you the SSL punch combined with the Neve warmth. Enjoy the new Brainworx bx_console SSL 9000 J, my new personal go to.
