They couldn't call it distressor Jr because the plate was too small...
What to say exept it's all you'd expect from empirical labs, the magic compression they are known for, the power and the transparency. All that in a small format for 500 serie.
I used it live, on traditionnal acoustic instruments, and grunge/metal voices. It does it all, takes it all.
It's not the distressor, it's its own thing, and damn it sounds good.
I'm happy with it. The pump is powerful
