What is SSL Native X-Comp?

X-Comp is a stereo compressor from Solid State Logic designed to cover a wide range of compression styles in a single plugin. SSL positions it as a mastering-grade tool, capable of subtle, transparent dynamic control at one end and hard, brickwall-style limiting at the other. It can emulate OPTO, FET, and Vari-Mu compressor characteristics through its dual symmetrical knee design and advanced sidechain architecture — making it versatile enough for tracking, mixing, and mastering applications.

Key features include:

• Dual symmetrical knee design for detailed compression shaping
• Advanced sidechain for ducking, pumping, and de-essing
• OPTO, FET, and Vari-Mu emulation modes
• MIDI compatibility for real-time parameter control
• Formats: VST2, VST3, AAX, AU — Windows and Mac

The plugin has a strong track record as a go-to for parallel compression and sidechain work. Pick it up at Plugin Boutique for $10 before May 26.

Verdict

At $10, SSL Native X-Comp is a straightforward pickup for anyone who does not already own a flexible SSL compressor. The deal ends May 26.
