The beauty of this technique is you can hit the distortion and sat circuits the way you want, then shape the compression separately.
1) Engage the unit with 'no compression', i.e., no preset lights are lit.
2) Dial in the desired amount of harmonic juice and, if desired, clipping.
3) Engage desired preset, use sidechain control to adjust gain reduction.
Works in both directions. Hit the inputs harder and ease off on GR for more sat less comp, or tickle the inputs and crank the GR for less sat more comp.
Lovely!

I ordered mine-will be delivered Wednesday; can't wait to hear this thing-will be mounted right above my Dangerous Music BAX EQ. I plan on chaining the UBKF before the BAX and planned on using these two during Mastering phase only; any suggestions for settings during the summing phase (or the Mastering phase for that matter)?
