The Real thing In The Box
I can not distinguish this from my real unit. Now I can use this on all my guitar tracks and make changes without committing to audio tracks. This is the plugin I use the most by far. Even just using the 1 to 1 ratio just to get the magic of running through the device it ads a lot to the character of the source. It is relatively light on resources.

The compressor for experiment
I own a real Distressor and this is a very close model. I tend to experiment with this on everything, not just a compressor, this is a shaping tool!
C. Gutierrez
Nice but useless
Please add British mode!! Nowadays with all plugins emulations of opto, vca, varimu... and the powerful pro c2, the only reason to use a distressor is because it's the only one compressor which got 1176 4 buttons knee behavior with 30ms of attack and variable ratio. So please update to emulate el8x version with BRITISH MODE

Thick in your face
Really love how it does something when tracking vocals a up front in your face sound! That and the new avalon in unison mode !

Happy New Year to me
I have never used the hardware, anyway it is irrelevant to me, this pluging works wonders.

D. Thompson
FAT
This compressor makes drums sound immense, but is generally a very useful plugin, combining the best of Optical and FET compression types.

UAD Distressor
My go to compressor for vocals. Superb!
C. Cherry
Ridiculous!
This thing blows me away. It's got you covered from gentle transparent compression right through to audio destruction. So close to the original unit it's ridiculous, the real Swiss Army Knife of compressors.
