Looks pretty cool and it has transient control too. I think my drum buss kinda want it.

 

Ableton Live stock Drum Buss device kinda did this 5 years ago.

 

SSL Plugins don't seem to be that popular, but I was so impressed with them, I started a subscription. I'm excited to try this out!

 

It's because they generally don't understand the plug-in market. They seem to think that the reputation they've earned building consoles, and other legendary hardware, is enough to get people to throw money at them and believe their "component modeling" claims.

Take for instance the Fusion Violet EQ plug-in, a 2-band EQ with no saturation or anything, that they've priced at $199! Sure, it's completely in their right to charge whatever they want for their products, but it's so obvious that they want people to just go for the subscription model instead that I don't understand why they even offer perpetual licenses.

They don't respond well to critique either (something they seem to have in common with their peers at Harrison). Some of SSL's plug-ins are really good, but their attitude towards customers and people who criticize them is off-putting.

 

they got caught 3 times already and still doing it

1) just changing the GUI for the old obsolete Duende SSL plugin, and sell it at full price.
2) the saturation on the SSL Fusion Drive plugin is just typical saturation plugin slapped with SSL logo and doesn't match the actual saturation module on the SSL Fusion hardware. Even when got caught they still don't want to admit it by giving stupid excuse and said that their undisclosed secret state-of-art measuring device said that the plugin gave the same response but no proof/evidence whatsoever, just words.
3) Violet EQ as @Arabian_jesus mentioned
