Who has it?
Do you use it?
Can you compare it to other SFP compressors - D-Comp, Vinco, Compressor-X, ...
Orbitone Impressor
actually it is a nice comb, which I use much to seldom. It can give your sound some nice warmth and presence.
the stw comp imho is more clean, as well as vinco.
like vinco it can add the special amount of dirt in kicks, you sometimes want, perhaps slightly more and a bit different from vinco (depends heavily on the input signal, of course).

Impressor is actually a bundle of quite a few 'impressors':
Impressor Mono & Stereo
Impressor Lite Mono & Stereo
Impressor Multiband Mono & Stereo
Personally I find the Impressor lite quite transparent. While I'll often use my Vinco on basses & leads and perhaps the odd vocal I sometimes use Impressor Lite as well. Impressor Lite I also often use on synths/pads/fx. The Impressor (S) has a really nice internal sidechain with filter/bandpass eq to 'tune' the compression and I use this on my master drum bus often to make the drums 'pump' or just breathe a bit. Nothing else can make drums as 'crisp' and clean sounding in my SFP arsenal (although keep phasefix handy here when using ALL the features because it often takes more than 1 dsp). Impressor multiband I use less than the others but it definately has a different sound than Final Liza and Optimaster.
