Rich harmonics, weight and presence. Versatile!
It's a plugin that makes a difference. It has a good emulation of an adjustable transformer (It's good, but it doesn't have the same effect as a real transformer). It offers an interesting feature to soften the highs - from attenuating digital highs to emulating a vintage sound, with exaggeratedly soft highs. The compressor is good, both in terms of sound and audio behavior. But don't buy it if you want to emulate magnetic tape sound. It offers saturation with great harmonics, but it's different. I've never had the real thing, but I really like this plugin. Without a doubt, it is one of those great-sounding plugins that offers the most features in the same product. A little difficult to understand at first, but once you learn each function and get practice, it is a practical and versatile tool. I recommend!

Gooey Goodness
I love this plug in. Works on everything, great on the mix bus, suble harmonics to crunch, very fun to experiment with on all kinds of different sources.

Zoom then enhance, do it again until the sounds are killer.

Please PORT THIS TO SPARK
This is one of the best saturation and color tools I have ever used. It's even better than the oxford inflator , (and I own the UAD and Native version of that)
If you need a color plugin buy this it's amazing. I really really really hope this gets ported to spark because once it's in I won't ever look back.

So fat so long distressor
My go to compressor for most things. Fat and squishy plus a little delay is heavenly goodness. Just wow.

Great sound
Only negative I have for this plug in is that the GUI needs an update,IE make the plug in resizable! The Jr model is extremely small.

Very Fat & Fairly Faithful
The FATSO does a lot more than it gets credit for, and although it doesn’t sound quite like tape, it softens, glues, and fattens tracks nicely.
When comparing the plugin to my hardware, I found them to behave very similarly with the exception of the plugin’s transformer emulation. In this regard, the plugin is a bit heavier handed, and the transformer-induced harmonics sound somewhat over exaggerated.
Still, it does the thing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use the UAD FATSO on a mix.
This plugin is due for a UI update.

Authentic!
I started using the Fatso sometime around 2002, no remorse switching over to this plugin in its place

Easy in use
Works great with drums

Magic
Been lusting after this for YEARS but never thought I could justify the purchase because of other saturation plug-ins I’ve accumulated. Finally circled back to this years later and it still makes me grin.
Tag it. Bag it.

Classic sound
Classic saturation sound, fantastic on overheads for high end transient control and great as a parallel drum smash bus as well!

Awful
Outdated plug-in that UA knows is not compatible with modern screen resolutions. Their guidance after paying for an expensive plug-in is that all users should change their screen resolution because they can’t be bothered to update the gui or make a plug-in resizable. The new plugins like distressor don’t have the problem because they are built for modern resolutions. Avoid buying older UA plugins. When you contact customer service, Greg will not help.

Great, but agree needs a refresh!
I've had a hardware FATSO since about a year after it came out and bought the UAD plug as soon as that came out. The hardware FATSO is sweeter and more squishy or compliant, while the plugin is a bit stiffer and a little smaller sounding. The plug does a decent job getting close, the "Sr" features are great, but it's old and needs a refresh version. I agree with some others that the UAD Distressor is much closer sounding to the hardware, and they could do the same for the FATSO + mix control, more DSP efficient, etc. That said, I still use the plug all the time, it's very good in its own right, and it does have a lot of the fun, vibe and problem solving that the real thing does. It could just be better, knowing how good stuff is sounding all this time after the UAD FATSO first came out.
