The only difference is the range of sounds available by changing a single parameter, e.g. gain. > http://www.playgroundstudio.com/blog/?p=60 The difference between the SSL and Neve parametrics is exactly the one I've described. Again, each of the two can do whatever the other can. The only difference is that instead of turning one knob to change between curves in the same picture you may have to turn two. It would be trivial to make e.g. my Ladpsa plugin switch between the two. In fact the original version (a Jack app, not published) provided 4 modes for each section, one of them 'SSL' style and another 'Neve'. The Neve shelf with the dip before it rises is rather nice. But again it doesn't take a special filter to do that. A normal shelf (+ gain) plus a parametric at the right frequency (- gain) will have exactly the same effect. If you *know* that you want that kind of curve, any parametric can do it. Neve provides it on a single knob, which may be nice in some cases, and a nuisance in others.
