I liked the Silver Bullet plugin enough that I bought the hardware.
Also, keeping with doubledog motto of trying stuff I own but don’t use, I’ve been using the AMEK Mastering Compressor on a project and have been really liking it. It’s intimidating at first but I don’t mess with the “fast” or “peak” (don’t care for the way they sound). Just using the threshold, timing, and ratio I can usually dial in something useful. Sometimes the “release hysteresis” helps smooth it out. I like it on everything except drums, but maybe that’s somewhere the “fast” and “peak” can be useful but I find them a bit “dirty” sounding (in a bad way) on everything I tried those functions on.

Use something else honestly if you want them to work. Fast and peak are dysfunctional on the “AMEK” GML hardware emulations. There was seemingly no attempt to make them functional. They have almost infinite harmonics reflecting around in the side chain and audio path exactly like your typical dysfunctional stock compressor or bad plugin. They sound horrible. The main “RMS” path is much slower so it has less maleffects on the signal. MDWDRC and Kotelnikov are fully functional. If you have most of the PA bundle, Pro Audio DSP DSM is very smooth when used as a general compressor.
