Analog Bliss

Dial in a judicious dose of Saturation, then hang it out over the edge with a tasty application of Density.

The Kush Audio UBK-1's compressor, based on Kush's superb FATSO, is undeniably a satisfyingly great compressor, but it's got a trick up its sleeve. A highpass sidechain filter with a wickedly wide frequency sweep allows for paranormal shapes of compression. The net result is coercive movement and dynamic motion.
It doesn't simply SaturateThe Kush Audio UBK-1's Saturate engine gives you powerful tonic, to cure whatever's ailing your mix. Warm analog-esque saturation curbs brittle digitalis, perks up lame tracks, and schools uncooperative ones so they play nice in your mix.
Density: the frosting on the cakeThe Kush Audio UBK-1's Density engine adds an extra level of frequency-selective compressor/harmonic saturation - and you can target the mids or highs with a switch. Density serves up eminently musical textures and savory, mellifluous distortions.
