In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. Looks like it's bigger brother Xtressor is sold on PA and the NUKE version was completely removed from Kiive Audio's website. Though, a download link for Xtressor NUKE can be found online.

In reply to Gavz.

on the hardware unit of the distressor the nuke setting is a brickwall limiting ratio, in the info about the original unit it says, that for some of the different ratios there is different circuitry used.
so actually this kiive emulation probably only emulates this one setting whereas the original distressor is basically several different compressors in one unit, depending on the settings of ratio and distortion modes.

empirical labs was involved in the development of softubes emulation, so soundwise that should be probably the closest to the hardware, comprexxor at least has slightly different controls.

So is this similar to Comprexxor by IKM and the Softube Empirical Labs emulation?

“I’m one of those users who actually prefer streamlined plugins. If a certain plugin comes in “full” and “light” editions, I’ll typically pick the latter. In my opinion, plugins with fewer controls significantly speed up the mixing process and the music production workflow.”

It’s so thru.
