Antress Audio has one too. Not bad. I can have a clip up comparing the two in half a day or so.

Looks cool, thanks for the heads up!

Well, even the creator said it doesn't sound exactly like a Distressor (yet).

With the years that i´ve been seeing people asking for a Distressor emulation
i´m very surprised this isn't getting more attention :S...

Oh golly gosh they've finally made one. Everyone knowns the UAD fatso but for project studio land, how many of us actually have a UAD card and will splash this much for 1 plug. Only other one is that fug ugly antress deathcore which is buggy as fyeck for a lot of people ....

Can't wait to try, this should be big news over at KVR.

ooh Notice its from "Pensados Students". Is this just a collective fan group active in production, or actual interns/assistants at his studio?

The Antress one lives on my channels. I wonder if this one's any good.

God, the GUI on that thing looks horrible lolz
Hopefully, it sounds better than it looks

According to this review, in its current state, there is no analogue modeling in this plugin whatsoever, but it says that the Antress one is a good alternative.
