Part of getting a de-esser to be effective is to make sure you have the right frequency to reduce.
You can go through with the listen function on the plug, but I've found it to be quicker and more accurate is to throw an analyzer on .. it's pretty easy to see where the frequency area is and then confirm with the listen function and reduce.
Sometimes I'll use 2 d'essers. One for the "ch" and one for the "S'ss".. depending...
Also automating the threshold to only hit the offending words is an option. I'll do that in mastering when it's bad enough.
