Vertigo is famed for its high-end production hardware that’s handwired in Germany with the best modern analog components. Praised by the pros for its precision and unique tonal qualities, you’ll find Vertigo gear in the studios of the greats, including Grammy-winners Craig Bauer and Dave Cobb. VSS-2 combines the best parts from its most celebrated studio hardware and painstakingly models them into one complete, discrete channel strip.
Premium signal chain, optimal workflow
VSS-2 takes filters from the VSE-2, the quad VCA compressor from the VSC-3, the discrete Gyrator EQ from VSE-4, and the tubes from VSM-4. They’re all combined into a carefully curated signal chain that stands with the best of high-end analog consoles. It takes your sound, cleans it up, smooths it out, enhances the tone, and adds warmth. It’s perfect for tightening up vocals, adding punch to drums, or breathing life into flat mixes – the complete Vertigo mixing console in one plugin.
Four sleek sections for cleaner, warmer, more dynamic mixes
- Section 1 VSE-2 – roll off unwanted frequencies with input filters
- Section 2 VSC-3 – control dynamics and add gloss with 1979 Quad VCA Compression
- Section 3 VSE-4 – bring out warmth and super smoothness with the Gyrator EQ
- Section 4 VSM-4 – add harmonic glue with switchable tube saturation
All the high-end tools and flavors to get the job done
Vertigo VSS-2 is a formidable dynamic sculpting toolkit that’s full of gorgeous analog tones. Listen out for the smoothness of those discrete Gyrator circuits, the rich harmonic flavors of the Pentodes and Triodes tubes and the punchy gloss of those quad VCAs – all interacting in one channel strip for the first time.
