RTAS Distressor plugin for $1!!!!!

So when they say it's modeled after "a famous 8X compressor," do they mean an 1176 or are they talking about the actual hardware Empirical Labs unit? The reason I ask is because I thought the Empirical Labs original was supposed to be able to emulate several different "classic" compressors.
 

this appears to be based on an older version of the plugin... wondering if things have improved with the latest version

I checked this out with Q-Clone last weekend because the controls weren't intuitive, I don't remember seeing much on the graph for harmonics but there were wild tone curve changes. No harmonics means it's very unlikely to be analog modeled.

I'll update this post if I check it again.
 
No you just click on the "more here" link and it takes you to the plugin page. There's a free demo version that doesn't save settings when you close the session
