Cocell Productions have created an emulation of the hardware compressor, The Distressor. They only ask for a $1 donation. It runs in VST, AU 32 and 64 bit modes and RTAS 32 bit. It doesn’t work natively in Pro Tools 11, as there is no AAX version but you can run it using the Blue Cat Patchwork plugin, which can host AU or VST plugins in Pro Tools 11. Check compatibility info on that plugin here.
More info and download links for the Distressor Plug-in can be found here.
