The SSL 9000 j plugin in my opinion is the best channel strip plugin. Between this and the Shadow Hill Class A, you guys are killing it!

SSL 9000 J

All models in the PA console series sound great and work well, with low cpu hit and the sonic character of the hardware versions, and this one adds another dimension to the collection. It sounds powerful and has more transparency than most, with a killer eq and dynamics section. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, if you want more dirt you can crank up the thd control. This is a solid sounding channel strip with it's own unique flavour - great depth and smooth top end. Thank you for yet another winner.
What a difference to the excellent SSL 4000 Plugins

I first saw Michael's interview about the difference between the 4000 and the 9000 consoles. Then I compared both plugin concepts in standard mode with an already mixed song and it was amazing. The extra highs are fantastic, the more clear lows, too. When you start to use Michael's presets for the 9000 you really understand why it's a good idea to change ;-). Many thanks to Dirk's team. I'm using your plugins for years now and get happier from offer to offer.
absolutely amazing!

so I never really write reviews and although I own all of the other console models that they sell here I have never really felt that "wow" thing that so many reviewers seem to feel. I mean the lindell 80 and the ssl e console emulations are really cool but I never heard anything all that special that was game changing to me that I couldn't simply get with other standalone plugins....until now. I demoed this ssl J 9000 yesterday on an indie sounding mix (think folks and horses) and I just couldn't believe how gooey, warm, full and analog it sounded. This console emulation really does something special to the low end. I tried all of the other console channel strips on my kick in and out channels and nothing sounded as big, full and beefy as this 9000J strip. This plugin just seems to have "that" sound and I NEVER write reviews like this. If this is the wow factor that so many others get all the time from certain plugins then I can say I have finally found my "wow factor. Its funny because I watch reviewers putting an instance of a channel strip plugin across all of their channels, making a bunch of tweaks with the eq and compressor sections and then talking about how great the before and after is. Well honestly you can get that great before and after by eq'ing with any plugins and then turning them off but this was different. I could hear the difference in just putting the console J 9000 across the channels and changing the TMT variations and I mean really hear the difference! This plugin is an absolute marvel of what can be accomplished with emulations today and honestly I don't think they could have done a better job on this one. I have paid way more for certain pieces of outboard mixing gear that don't sound this good. Definitely demo this one and maybe just skip to buying it straight away!
Nailed!

Hey let me tell you something. I'm a hip-hop producer and I've been using plugins since 2007. PLUGIN ALLIANCE has been the best experience when it comes to plugins and processing audio. bxConsole SSL 9000 J has it figured out for electronic music, hands down. Stop contemplating and get these plugins from Plugin Alliance. I have seen my music/mixes dramatically improve when I started using their products. There is no gimmick about their products, if you process it, the sound will come. End of discussion, make this move your best move!

The first time I put the plugin on a vocal my exact words were "that's the sound!" I remixed a song I previously sent to master, and the results were awe-inspiring. Low CPU hit! 3D sound! This is what you've been waiting for! My mastering engineer called me with excitement because of this plugin. I'm a MEGA Bundle user and I'm so satisfied! You should get this plugin!!!
