Dear Slate Customer,
I'm pleased to announce that the FG-Stress, a licensed digital replication of the Empirical Labs Distressor, is finally available!
The FG-Stress replicates every aspect of the famous hardware including its unique capabilities to model other famous hardware compressors. Many call it the most versatile ‘desert island’ compressor ever made, and for good reason… it’s incredible sounding!
 
Intro price is $199 or "Free" to Everything Bundle Users (for duration of membership)

That's the ANNOUNCEMENT is available...because apparently the installers
are NOT 

 
 
DOH!!!

As pointed out by Bapu, and NOT Slate, the plugin is in the VMR
Installer...not a separate one...

From the email I got.
 
CLICK HERE to get the manual installer for VMR (which now includes FG-Stress), or log into your Gobbler Account.
 
So at least 50% of the statement was correct....
 
or
 
.....maybe you were to understand that it was inferred that you optionally could get the VMR installer form Gobbler.

 

Yep...I missed it...

Over at KVR somebody said

Everything is described in original distressor manual including ratios and their relations to hardware

 
This manual is a great read. Here's a link if anyone wants it

This is really helpful for "non Distresser savvy" people like me!

Here is the sentence I took away from the manual:

"Fool proof operation
- Even though there are 384 possible settings (not counting knob settings), it's almost impossible to get a bad sound. Keep all knobs on 5 or 6 (around middle) with ratio at 6:1 and you won't go wrong."
 
Why, though, do I feel like I could still get a bad sound of it?  I have that gift . . . .
