In 2011, the Empress Compressor pedal hit the market and quickly gained popularity among guitar and bass players. What set it apart from other compressors was its advanced controls that provided more than just basic options. While the original Compressor worked well with bass, Empress knew they could improve it even further.
The latest version offers features and controls typically only found in high-end studio equipment. You'll have access to input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert.With the addition of a fully variable sidechain high pass filter and a two-position 'tone + colour' circuit. With these new additions, you'll have even more control over your sound, allowing you to sculpt and distort your bass tones for a truly unique character.
