The SSL Fusion Transformer plug-in from SSL emulates the Fusion’s switchable SSL Transformer circuit. The 600-ohm, 1:1-wound under-damped transformer introduces low-end thickening and high-end sheen to your signals, giving it a subtle heft as a result of the LF saturation and frequency phase shift introduced by driving the circuit. Use Shine to augment or remove the HF phase and EQ effects and turn up the Amount to amplify the harmonic distortion. Both controls can be used to amplify the effects beyond the original circuit. The Mix control allows you to blend with the original signal to dial in the perfect amount of transformer mojo. In addition to LF Extend, which bypasses the dynamic LF roll-off for extra low-end ‘oomph’ and Eco mode for tracking and recording, the SSL Fusion Transformer plug-in also includes built-in help. Simply click the question mark ‘?’ symbol in the bottom-right hand corner and mouseover the GUI for context-aware guidance and information about the plug-in and its controls.
