UA WINS the DISTRESSOR PLUGIN WAR!
Hands down, of ALL the emulations I have used, from FG-Stress, to Sknote Disto and Disto-S, to Empircals own Arouser, just to name the most recent.. this UA version absolutely takes the cake!
They don't call it "the swiss army knife of compressors" for nothing. And I have literally used this on everything since buying it. The other other similar plugin I am still using is Arouser. But if I was forced to pick a single Distressor emulation and ditch all the others, without a doubt, this would be the one.

Does what you would expect a FC emulation to do!
Definitely digging this over the Waves Puigchild variant. Like all UA plugins, I find this gets me where I am trying to go socinally much faster than other emulation. Typically I start out with a preset that is ballpark what I'm looking for, and then tweak from there. Save a new preset, and repeat next time! And dont think its just bus glue! Use it on everything! Dont sleep on the mono 660 either!

Sound pretty damn good!
Ive been after this one for a while. Sounds great and helps free up my native CPU usage. This one is a classic UA plugin for sure!

STUDIO D Chorus
Studio D Chorus - I like to take him for pads and vocals, is in my opinion the best chorus on the UAD platform.

NEWBIE turns Pro using uad PLUGINS
I'm a newbie when it comes to UAD all the other plugins sounded like toys to me so I had to make a drastic change when I heard the Pultec EQ in a few others

Incredible
Must buy.. guaranteed to not be disappointed

Excellent Reverb
The sound of this reverb is recorded in the DNA because of the amount of songs and records we have heard in which it is present ...
E. Budzynski
Brilliant on all sorts of source material
A real swis army knife of compressors. This emulation can recreate all sorts of different compression from opto settings to more subtle light taming. Highly recommended. Plugins with many uses are always useful and this is no exception.

Studio D / Dimension D
long looked closely at this plugin. Used P&M Dimension 3D. Tried it was pleasant. Very famously expands voices and instruments. Not so intrusive. But there is depth and volume! Thank you, UAudio! For the opportunity to use so many beautiful instruments! Buy in hardware devices for me is very expensive and problematic ... Thank you

Top quality reverb
Well... it's a top quality reverb, a joy to use in every single moment.

One of my go-to plugins
If, like me, you are running a lot of UAD plugins on a relatively ordinary computer, you will at some point feel the CPU strain. The legacy versions will help a lot. And you will want to use those to make CPU room for the Distressor, which I find is by far the biggest CPU monster in my UAD system. This is an absolutely must-own plugin for me. It is utterly utterly killer, it is magic, it is bright, it is brutal, and it is colossal in the mix. I am a big fan of the Pultec, Neve EQ and 1176 legacy versions, and by using those legacy versions wisely, I can use my Distressor...even more wisely! This is one for your arsenal, without a moment of hesitation. You might not use it on everything, but you will use it where you should.

One of my go-to plugins
If, like me, you are running a lot of UAD plugins on a relatively ordinary computer, you will at some point feel the CPU strain. The legacy versions will help a lot. I am SO impressed by the legacy versions of some of these plugins. The 1176 legacy is one of my go-to's. The sound is amazing to my ears, and I can use many instances of it in my system. I have the full versions also, but I get complete satisfaction from the legacy 1176 on almost all occasions (I will go for the full version on vocals, especially when tracking.)
Highly, highly recommended.

I am SO impressed by the legacy versions of some of these plugins. The Pultec legacy is one of my go-to's, and to my ears the best of all the legacy plugins. I find I choose it over the full version. It is probably my favorite UAD plugin I own, I wouldn't trade it for anything else ever, and I consider it ABSOLUTE MAGIC on bass and kick. The sound to my ears is absolute magic.

Fairchild Tube limiter collection
I have recently upgraded to Fairchild Collection.The Legacy Fairchild I was using was pretty good already, but with the upgrade I got wider palette of classic Fairchild sounds.

Ok, but nothing special
Nothing I can't so with other native plug-ins to be honest. It is quick to setup so if you are familiar with the Distressor interface then why not.
Just expect to be stung for a paid upgrade to the brit mod version some time soon!

Handy, but not that special
Nothing I can't do with other native plug ins to be honest. but setting up is quick so if the distressor interface is something your used to then why not!
Just wait and you will be stung for a paid brit mod update sometime soon.

Love it
I've been waiting for a while to buy this plugin, but finally bought it and absolutely love it. Hope they will make an emulation of the 480L.
