The rumors are true
The rumors that you need a Distressor are very true and now that i have the UA plug in version, i can use them all over my sessions instead of only being able to use my pair. Its a MUST HAVE plug in, they nailed it

Dangerous!
Whatever you throw on this beast rocks. Its not an emulation - its the original!

One Word...Impressive
I have only had the opportunity to work with this compressor on a few sessions and I have never used the real hardware but, what I can tell you is, it is flexible, it is extremely versatile and it sounds great on everything I've used it on, from drum bus to vocals to parallel compression on the 2 buss. I was able to dial in exactly what was needed. Awesome doesn't cover it. Impressive!

The best audio weapon you can have !
Distressor hardware is already a must have but the Distressor emulation of UAD with the dry/wet functions it's even better !!! So many possibility to soft from hard compression, coloration, filtering etc...

Just Whouahh
Even the default setting is perfect on a drums bus !!!

Killer Comp
This, apart from the fact that it is based on one of the most famous compressors, together with those made by Univers Audio, is a killer plug-in that fins its use on many of my sessions. I find it easy to use and it helps me nail the sound quickly. I love it!

Simply mind blowing

Damn!
I tested this masterpiece of emulation on our pre-production. After 3 Days of the demo I was sure, the distressor is a must have!
Used it for scream- and shoutvocals and to thicken up the bass in parallel compression.
Cheers

All of these are starting to sound the same to me...
This is a great plugin, but not all that different, sonically, then every other compressor plugin UA has.
It's good, but not my "go-to" compressor.

Époustouflant
Un véritable couteau suisse dynamique incroyable permet de d'aller assez loin dans la compression sans effet de pompage certains dirons qu'ils ne trouvent pas de différences avec la version hardware moi je pense que la version soft à un peu moins de corps mais c'est un vrai régal.
Je ne pense pas, comme certains le disent qu'on peut simuler un 1176 ou un la2a au niveau dynamique et couleur mais je viens à peine de l'avoir et je n'ai pas encore exploité toutes ses possibilités.

Finally!
I have the hardware, but always wanted a plugin version for drum busses when I already have the hardware on other tracks. It’s very true to the hardware sound and just as easy to use. You won’t regret this purchase

My absolute go to compressor
This compressor is absolutely fantastic. My room mics have never sounded so aggressive. Thank you so much! can't wait for the brit mod update!

Great compressor
Best bang for your back. This compressor comes so incredibly close to the performance of the hardware version that for the price it can’t be beat. Honestly I can’t even tell the difference. I got this for my home studio setup. I don’t have $1800 to spend on a hardware compressor alone. This plugin performs like the real thing at a fraction of the cost. I love it. It is a monster on vocals and drums!
