this is a good one in addition to the trio of classics (1176/LA2A/670).  don't own it, had been working with it on a partners rig.

however, been using the Kiive Xtressor lately. not as 'edgy' as the UAD, but finding it to be just fine with extra features/flexibility, using it more on lead vox/acgtr than the || drum bus that it's known for.

edit: a timely review noted elsewhere in this forum, BF pricing $64.99  here.

had the ELI "original" on the wish list, but price and iLok requirement have kept me from pulling the trigger. jmho.

My next HW purchase will be a pair of real Distressors. Probaby in February 2023. Saving my pennies now.

No Fatso in my future (as yet). 
No, I'll be keeping my UADs thank you very much, especially since I now have an Apollo x8p.

I have 2 HRK ST552 tape emu's for my master bus feeding a Serpent Audio Bus Compressor.
