Empress Effects Compressor Compressor Mkii

When we released our Compresor in 2011, it quickly became a favorite with guitarists and bassists who were looking for something more than the simplistic settings typical of most compression pedals. After looking at our user feedback, we've taken everything good about our original Compressor to create an even better pedal! In addition to the features and settings normally found on high-end studio compressors, such as a visual input and gain reduction monitor, independent attack and release settings, a Mix control for compression in parallel and an insert for an external sidechain, we have added a Tilt-type EQ Tone control and a sidechain filter integrated into the detection circuit. Finally, all this in a pedal twice smaller and available in 2 colors! Features - Fully analog audio path: nothing digital here! - Extreme transparency: add dynamics without altering the sound of your instrument. - 3 compression ratios: 2: 1, 4: 1 and 10: 1 for more flexibility. - Attack and Release settings: to control the characteristics of the compression. - Mix: Mix the uncompressed signal with the compressed signal for parallel compression. - Visual monitor: measure gain and input reduction on 2 separate monitors. - Tone: new Tilt type setting centered around 500 Hz. - Send / Return for sidechain: with a 3.5 mm TRS jack. - High pass filter for sidechain: no need to add a high pass filter to the sidechain, it is now integrated and can be set to 120 Hz or 240 Hz. - Improved low frequency response: for very very low sounds, completely flat up to 20 Hz. - LED display: bright and multicolored to know what the compressor is doing in any situation. - Bypass or activated power supply: for musicians who never want to turn off their compression. - Compact body: roughly half of the original case. - Beautiful case: who doesn't love a beautiful glittery color? Plus the choice of blue or silver!
