    What’s new in Rev 3
    • Two Opto Modes based on the time constants of a classic and a modern LA2A
    • Soft Clipper Expert Panel that allows for introducing more second harmonic distortion and the ability to place the compressor input before or after the soft clipper circuit.
    • Detector Sidechain EQ now includes a listen mode to hear what frequencies are affecting the compression detector.
    • Two new ratios (6.5:1 and 7:1) can now be accessed by enabling “ALT” mode in the ratio section.
    • The GUI can now be enlarged to double its original size for more comfortable editing.
    • iLok Cloud activation is now available rather than just iLok USB activation.

    anyone has any experience with comparing it to the new Softube Mike-E compressor?
    curious about how those two differentiate

    They sound very different! I like Distressor much better both in terms of sound and functionality. Mike-E is based on the analog Mike-E mic-preamp/compressor and Distressor is not really based on any specific hardware according to EL so it's a bit like comparing a 1176 to a LA2A or something.

    I thought Slate's FG-Stress was suppose to be the end all, be all Distressor plugin. I honestly haven't compared them.
