Just cruised on down to the Boston GC to pick up my new Distressor, I haven't had any time to really use it yet but I ran some bass and a few lines of vocals through it and DAMN what a difference. I was somewhat afraid of the thing just being shrouded in gearslutz hype but it really did deliver that "wow." effect. It makes things just sound so fat and "substantial".

I'm stoked.
 
I bought one brand new recently as well, but I still haven't finished a mix with it involved yet. I'll post something soon enough :)
 
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the application for the distressor? is a compressor right?
