For this SSL Comp for example, there are only 2 inputs. No access to its detector input through the patch bay. But the plugin is in fact side-chainable (see pics 3,4).

What's the trick?
I'm gonna take a wild guess that the Waves SSL needs to run in VST3 format to utilize its sidechain. Reaper does not support VST3 and therefore won't be able to access the sidechain on it. I hope I'm wrong.

Edit:
For what its worth, I found this in a Google search: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music...sidechain.html
