Unavailable for purchase
The Empress Effects Bass Compressor, seen here in a Blue Sparkle enclosure, is a studio-quality effects pedal that would fit neatly into any pedalboard setup.
Upon release in 2011, the original Empress Compressor quickly became a favourite amongst guitar and bass players alike, thanks to the detailed controls and studio grade audio.
The pedal has now seen a host of improvements for its MK II release, with features such as a two position 'tone + color' circuit, a mix knob for parallel compression, and even a fully variable sidechain high pass filter, adding plenty of tonal character to your rig.
Empress Effects Bass Compressor 2, Blue Sparkle Key Features
- All Analog Signal Path - No digitals in here!
- Extremely Transparent - Add dynamic control without altering the original tone of your instrument
- 3 Compression Ratios - 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios offer lots of flexibility
- Attack and Release Control - Allows for ultimate control over the compression characteristics
- Mix - Blend uncompressed signal in with the compressed signal for parallel compression, New York Style!
- Metering - Meter both gain reduction and input levels on separate meters.
- Tone and Color - Adds mild harmonic distortion with a mid range cut or an upper mid range boost.
- Sidechain Send/Return - 3.5mm TRS jack send and return for sidechain compression.
- Sidechain High Pass Filter - A variable high pass filter that filters low frequencies from the sidechain. The filter frequency ranges from 20Hz to 400Hz.
- Improved Low End Frequency Response - To handle those low low sounds, completely flat down to 20Hz.
- True Display LEDs - Bright multi-color LEDs always let you know what the compressor is doing.
- Power On Bypassed or Engaged - For musicians that never want to turn their compressor off.
- True Bypass - The Empress Compressor employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.
- Small Size - New enclosure approximately half the size of the original compressor, which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.
- Beautiful Case - It has a sparkle you can't deny, especially with this Blue Sparkle finish.
