I'm sure it's up there in requests, but is this the most requested UAD plugin ever?

Can you tell us how long it's been in the works, so to speak?

What kind of roadblocks or hurdles did you have?

Give us the skinny!

Great question Matt... we eagerly await the replies and the download time :D

There aren't many modern classics, but the Distressor is definitely one of them!

I'm gonna leave this one for Will to jump in on. :)

He definitely has some stories!

For those that haven't seen the video, there's some pretty strong and definitive words in there for UA's emulation!

Just loaded it up.. GUI is large which is great.. Looks twice the size of some of the old Plugs like the Fatso.. Does this mean older plugins will become this size?:p

Hi Ziggenpuss,

We are working on updating GUIs so, over time, you won't need glasses to see our older titles. ;)

Cheers!

Any reason you guys didn't make it life like 1RU like the Fatso? Guess it looks better on screen split in two! I'm just a sucker for all these babies lining up size wise, like HW

Thanks for the invite! I'd say this is second only to tape emulation in terms of being the most requested plugin.

It was tough, I feel the same way. But 1RU skeuomorphic design just doesn't work very well. We used roughly the same configuration for the API 2500 and the Korg SDD-3000 (they have about the same footprint, so you could say we have a new standard for 1RU GUI interpretation.

First Of All The GUI looks great. (It will go nice with my Hardware one.)

Is there going to be a bundle with the Fatso? Possibly, a discount bundle for those who own the Fatso?

Hi Jrtme,

At this time, there isn't a bundle. It's possible we may include them in future bundles, but we don't pre-announce them.

Cheers!

I love my Distressor for many uses which I'm sure the plugin will reproduce faithfully. For me the crucial special ability of the Distressor is Brit mode, which I frankly have doubts that even UAD could really capture, so I think it shows wisdom that you left that out.

Well, gotta leave some sales for Dave - it's the one hardware compressor I think everyone should own. Actually UAD's plugin will probably only familiarize more people with how good it is and increase sales.

Oh no... but that's plain weird... isn't the Brit Mod just an all buttons mode from the 1176? UA should be able to nail that (havn't they already with the mkIIs?... I wonder why it was really left out?
