### 5/5 — Used every mix

*2025-02-09*

I’ve placed this on every snare I have in a mix, give some guitar extra bite, this is such a great plugin. If you want to sculpt sounds, get the expansion pack, but as is, you can get the punch you need to make a snare break in a mix. I do still find myself using some parallel compression for other instruments, but think it’s still a must have in the mixing arsenal.

### 5/5 — Authentic NY-style compression

*2024-08-28*

This is an easy to use and actually good sounding compressor if you are looking for something agressive to put on drums, synths or buss. Simple and efficient.

### 5/5 — Most used comp

*2023-03-07*

Use it on everything

### 3/5 — Nice, at a price!

*2022-10-12, version 1.0.1*

In recent times I bought Tone Boosters MBC and FAC Medusa compressors. Both are absolute gems, and together cost less than buying the presets on this app. The ‘free’ part is just a taster, which would be fine and dandy, if the cost of upgrading was not something over £17. The world economy is on its knees. The price is too high. If it were more reasonable, I’d probably add this to my collection.

### 2/5 — Just distortion?

*2022-10-05*

It sounds just like a bad distortion.. nothing like a compressor

**Developer response:** There was a problem with the previous version where it would sometimes cause distortion like you describe it. This has been fixed now in the latest version. Please download the latest update to resolve the issue :)
