Favorite Compressor
The Distressor is my go-to compressor for everything! The Opto present is particularly nice on vocals. I also use the LA2A for vocals and acoustic and the Fairchild for bass.

Best compressor, ever!
This is my new go to compressor. I love it on just about anything. It really adds something special to the mix!

Wow
Can’t tell the difference between this and my hardware

Easy to use and amazing sound.
We use it in various ways, especially for drum kick and snare. I have not used the original hardware but it is a very good compressor.

Hard pressed to find things it doesn't sound good on.
Anytime I find myself pausing in a mix, wondering what a sound 'needs' to just feel better. I reach for the EL8! It can really bring a vocal forward in a mix, fatten up any drum you throw at it, add grit to guitars and can probably even park your car ;) Swiss army tool for sure! Love it. Highly recommended.

Great Plugin!
One of my favorite UAD plugins. Sounds great on pretty much everything - Dry/Wet mix feature is awesome to have.

Magnifique
J'ai testé ce produit pendant 14 jours en démo sur le mix entierd'un album et je suis bluffé, je l'ai mis à coté de mon compresseur Slate Digital et je bypass pour pouvoir faire une vraie comparaison et c'est le jour et la nuit. Je l'utilise sur mes voix, sur mon Bus de drum, tout devient plus clair, plus de punch... Je ne pourrai plus m'en passer. J'attends les promo UA pour en faire immédiatement l'acquisition, les jours sont désormais longs face à cette attente! A posséder d'urgence...

Easy and sounds great
Thank you to whoever encouraged me to buy this. I can hear why, very versatile. Could become a favourite.

Favorite UAD Compressor
It sounds great on everything, and the ability to run numerous instances makes me go from 6 to midnight.

Really similar to the real Distressor outboard!
I own a real Distressor outboard, an exceptional and extremely versatile machine ... and I can say that this UA plugin sounds almost the same ... wonderful!

De lo mejor
Es impresionante lo que este plugin es capaz de hacer. Desde algo suave hasta lo más agresivo que te imagines. Aporta vida y carácter allá donde lo insertes. Totalmente recomendado.

Tasty!!
I love what it is doing to my drums!!!!
P. Giacalone
Great software comp
To be clear, it’s still not the same as the hardware - but... nothing is. It’s still great in its own right and well worth owning. I do wish they had emulated the britmod version.
