Classic rock drum sound
As soon as I dropped this plugin on my drums, I instantly found the big, crushed drum sound I loved and was after ! Definitely worth it

Perfect
Best plug-in that I purchase in years
J. Doherty
Sounds great on everything
Sounds better than all the other emulations out there. My singer works well with a Distressor on her voice, and this has me jonesing for the hardware now.

Perfect
A must have. Sounds amazing.

If you’ve used a Distressor before….
….then you already know whether you need this. It’s a faithful recreation of the studio classic, really useful for drums, bass, vocals, anything you want to dirty up in a trasistory sort of way.

Fantastic!
I have used the hardware on several occasions and this plugin is a fair and excellent option in the digital world. Thank you very much UAD for this tool!

Best compressor for vocals?
Simply the best compressor I've found for vocals. I wanted to buy the real hardware, but now I don't know if I need to. Very warm sound, in the face vocals!

Go-to compressor
One of my go-to for drums! Epic compressor!
J. Ayers
Beware
Huge issue with this Compressor. It will make everything else obsolete. Be warned that you should only buy this plugin if you want 100% satisfaction. Purchasing will cause your teeth to show with a huge grin.
All in all, best money I have spent at UAD for a plug-in.
