A Distressor is on one hand simply a brand name for a specific/particular compressor design. It IS a compressor... in fact, several compressors in one, if you will... it's pretty versatile. They exhibit absolutely no suckitude whatsoever, so if you're looking for a compressor of good quality, you'd hardly go wrong with one of those. 2-What's the difference between the "El 8 Distressor" and "El-7FATSO"?? Ummm, never used the Fatso, so I can't say for certain, but I gather it's specifically designed for 2-buss compression/fattening. Someone will correct me if I'm off-base, I'm sure. Neil Henderson |

And it's called distressor because it has a function that is supposed to emulate analog distortion (tube or tape). It is subtile, but quite cool. Only tried this unit ones and I really liked it.

The Fatso Jr., which does a terrific job of emulating analog tape and the saturation of it, includes several fixed compressors set ups. You cannot adjust things like ratio, attack or release. The first one in particular is really good for most, if I'm in a hurry or panic, I go to it without hesitation. If you like your analog mic set up, and you're recording digitally, the fatso is really cool. see12mic |
