yo, I've just received my distressor about 20 minutes ago.
unfortuately I didn't have much time really trying it out etc cause I have to set up mics for a drum recording now.
but I did run a vocal line through the distressor in 1176 mode, in opto(LA2 etc) mode as well as my own settings (which I obviously had to dial in really quickly, so they're not perfect).
For comparison I've also fed them through my 1176LN for comparison.
feel free to use the uncompressed file (well, almost uncompressed, for infos see below) to match the sound of the 1176 or distressor with your comp of choice. (I used about 10dB of compression)
uncompressed
1176LN
distressor 1176
distressor opto
distressor my quickly dialed in settings
the vocal chain was sm7 with HP and hi boost engaged-->API-->smart C2 with about 3 dB of compression on the way in-->Apogee AD-16.
so the "uncompressed" files has already a tiny bit od C2 compression on it as well.
EDIT: make sure to match the volumes before you start comparing
