The compressor: I am a bit of a compressor nerd.I own lots of plugs and a fair amount of hardware and I know my way around compression pretty well.

I don't think I own any Waves products that do what the FF does, and while I'll still use the UAD Manley, Pultec and my hardware, if I do pick up the FF it will see a lot of use. The FF built-in analyzer is really cool in this regard, as is the control set.I really like the ability to easily bypass and solo bands and the shelves and filters are nice and functional. To my ears most of them sound pretty much the same (with very few notable exceptions) and the real difference is how quickly and easily I can get them to do what I want. Regarding the EQ, let me start by saying I'm not a big EQ guy. I've only demod the EQ and Compressor so far from FF, but I do own a bunch of other stuff.Waves, UAD, IKMM, PSP, and a bunch of hardware (UA, SSL, Empirical Labs etc).

FabFilter FX Bundle GBP £562.I figured I'd give you a quick comparative review since the original point of this thread was to compare the FF stuff and the Waves stuff.
