Incredible
Incredible and much easier to use then I thought. Great plugin.

Beautiful comp
You can use it for any instrument.
The best comp to remove the unpleasant taste.
c. adelmann
Better than all the reviews indicate!
I am probably not the world's expert on compressors and in fact have a number of them!
Not really thinking I wanted/needed another one, I sampled this axe and fell in love with how intuitive it felt and how I worked with it, how nice it worked on many types of instruments and voices-very musical. As I start to mix 2-3 of my new tunes, I might find myself not going back and forth from my rack of other compressors but rather just going with the Distressor. tx

Oh the distressor
Doesn't matter what u want to record, put the distressor on it and u will get great results... It's really an amazing plug-in...
M. Schultz
Amazing
The most musical compressor I’ve ever used in the box! It’s just as easy to use as the original and is literally the reason I bought a Satellite Thunderbolt 3! Works perfectly in Logic Catalina

Favorite All Around Comp
I've been using the slate distressor for a couple years and something about it just seemed flat to me. I got this on a sale and haven't looked back. So much depth and vibe. I love it in parallel on drum bus, and it slays on anything you track through it. I keep it on vocals after my sphere l22 and Putnum mic models while tracking through my apollo on the way in and it sounds so good. Even better than my old Manley Ref into a Kush Tweaker. Can't recommend enough and I've officially now sold all of my analog gear.

It’s the best money you’re gonna spend on this platform- period

Not the Real Deal gut a nice Compressor
The highend does sound a little bit cheaper than the hardware but overall it's working pretty well

Perfect and Versatile.
Extremely useful and like the original. Pretty decent on DSP as well. If you have the cash just get it.
E. McClure
My favorite UAD plugin!!!
I was blown away after demoing this plugin. It’s like a warm blanket wrapping around anything it touches. Sounds great on anything, especially vocals. I just can’t believe how close it is to the actual hardware. It not only sounds fantastic, you can also emulate pretty much any style compressor on the market. Probably the most versatile compressor ever made.
