I was led to believe that the E Series channels with the black EQ - which the Waves E-Channel models - used the same VCA as the G Series EQ for the dynamics section, the dbx or THAT corp 2151. The earlier E Series channels with the brown EQ used the 1537A VCA for the dynamic section. It's my understanding that the change of VCA in the dynamics section occurred before the change from brown to black EQ. Therefore, both the E and G Channels from Waves should model the dynamics section with the 2151 VCA.
