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!
J. Tristán
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.

Incredible
I saw the review of this by Michael White - he said " I can't believe it" - I know exactly what he means! This is not only the best compressor plugin ever, it could just be the best plugin ever!!!

The only compressor you need
Of all the compressors on the market, the Distressor is the island piece. Granted, UAD makes some great plugins and their very own 1176 was the best software compressor I owned until the Distressor came along. This does everything the 1176 does but so much more. This is a no brainer.

An industry standard brought to the digital platform.
I'm not sure how they do it but they do it. Getting to use this in the studio as a hardware unit gave us a good comparison for the software. It's crazy how accurate this thing is plus a mix knob makes it that much cooler.

This is another fantastic emulation by UAD!
Amazing allrounder that can be used on just about anything.
Fantastic on vocals, be it sitting in the mix or pushing right up front in the mix like many current pop tracks.
Really cool on bass and also drums.
I use this unit a lot.

kleurt goed en doet zijn ding !
Klinkt erg lekker voor sommige toepassingen. zeker niet voor alles inzetbaar. Kleurt fijn.

Amazing
Just works on anything you can think of. With the right attack and release it let’s you separate the background and foreground. Basically making the snare sound in your face while pushing the room where it belongs, in the back. So it cleans out the audio without to much effort. Just amazing!
