None of those. [emoji6]
If you’re looking for color, you have to exclude the FabFilter & SSL. They’re both very neutral (by design).
I would check out:
SPL Iron
ACME Opticom
Purple Audio MC77
Each one adds their own flavor & are quite different from one another.
The SPL is a vari-mu compressor with selectable rectifiers that change the characteristics & ballistics of the compressor. Think Fairchild on steroids.
The ACME is an optical compressor that has a lot of vibe. It’s also very simple with minimal controls.
The Purple is everything great about an 1176 only bigger & better.
These are all emulations of hardware units available through PluginAlliance.
I’ll also mention the McDSP 6030, which is basically a digital version of s a single slot 500 series lunchbox with a bunch of different compressor modules you can use. Probably a best of all worlds option, if you want flexibility.
