Revival 4000 is an all-analogue channel strip from Solid State Logic, delivering the unmistakable sound of the early 1980s SL 4000 Series consoles—a sound that set the industry standard and helped shape the music of iconic artists including Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Prince, U2, Metallica, and many more. Drawing on the revered circuitry of both the B and E Series consoles, the Revival 4000 offers the signature tone and sonic flexibility that form the very foundation of SSL’s legacy.

The 4000 Series Legacy

Originally launched in 1976, the SSL 4000 Series consoles revolutionised music production, becoming a new industry benchmark that would go on to shape music history. It all began with the rare SL 4000 B console, installed at London’s Townhouse Studios. The 4000 B was used to create groundbreaking hits like Intruder by Peter Gabriel and the seminal gated-drum sensation In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. This set the tone for what would become the most influential mixing console of all time — the SL 4000 E.

Introduced in 1979, the 4000 E became the heartbeat of legendary studios such as Abbey Road, Electric Lady, and The Hit Factory. It empowered engineers like Hugh Padgham (David Bowie, Paul McCartney, The Police), Chris and Tom Lord-Alge (James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Santana), and Andy Wallace (Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana) to craft their sound.
