Link to real compressor: https://www.empiricallabs.com/distressor/
I know that we have the optical compressor already built into the Axe FX, and I believe the EL Foil mode of the optical compressor is pretty close to a distressor compressor (I could be wrong here). On the real distressor, it has modes to add second and/or third order harmonics to the wet signal. Does anyone know if any distortion is modeled in the EL Foil mode of the optical compressor or is it clean by default? And either using the compressor block or another block type in the Axe FX III, is it possible to add second or third order harmonic distortion in the same style of that in the distressor?
