This looks like one to fall for...if you aren't dry yet!

Yet another company that does not advertise updates.

Grab the full installer if you have any of their other plug-ins.

They were all updated in Oct 2020.

Curious about this. Not a lot of reviews in the pluginosphere.

Insta-buy for me! I picked up the X-saturator in Oct for $19 too and it's pretty pretty good!  Native SSL FROM SSL baby! I can't wait to try this out tonight.

How was it, @mibby?

I tried it out on a mix last night, an electric guitar bus.  I scrolled through presets and A-Bed until I settled on the one I liked, then adjusted the threshold and went with it. I actually liked it pretty well. Honestly though, I really don't have a strong impression (yet) one way or the other. I'm going to have to read the manual to see how to use "high /low bleed" which are just fancy names for an internal side-chain - I think. I'm also a little disappointed the Knee graph doesn't also show the input signal like the Melda comps do.  Although it does have a neat Input/Output display.

I'm sure it will certainly be a perfectly usable comp - and $20 is hard to beat - especially from the company that makes the hardware. However, I've really barely used it so YMMV.   But I'll give it a ? for $20.  Only a tiny bit of buyer's remorse...
