There's the TC Triple-C, which in envelope mode does the following:
Parameters are Threshold, Attack Gain, Attack Time, Release Time and 
Release Gain.

It works like this:
If the input signal rises above threshold, then in a time of 0.1ms 
(fixed) it is amplified up to the attack gain.
Then, the gain falls back to unity for the duration of attack time. 
Then, nothing happens until the signal falls below threshold, when 
during the release time, the gain falls to release gain.

In standard synth ADSR terminology, it would translate somehow to.
A=0.1ms (the fixed attack time)
D=Attack Time
S=-Attack Gain
R=Release Time
(somehow like this).

It's a truly fun effect, especially to completely whack up tracks with 
percussive stuff.
(The Triple-C stereo version was so much fun in fact, that TC quickly 
wrote a document explaining why the much more expensive Finalizer was 
better, and then quickly discontinued the Triple-C ;).
