Pulsar Audio 1178

Don't get me wrong - it's a good compressor. It does everything right and has some nice features. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, I find myself wanting to like it more than I actually do. It doesn't smack as hard as other FET plugins can, the lack of a threshold control makes the clipper fundamentally pointless, the saturation can sound nice but is fairly all-or-nothing. I've found it to be a very 'jack of all trades, master of none' plugin, but your mileage may vary. For me, I always find myself reaching for the UAD 1176 if I want a FET and a slew of other plugins if I need saturation, one of which is Pulsar's own Echorec, and that one, I do recommend.
