Empress Effects Bass Compressor (Blue Sparkle)

When Empress Fx released their original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favorite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical over-simplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Although their original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) They set out to do even better. 

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high-end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a fully variable sidechain high pass filter and a two-position ‘tone + color’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.  

Features

• True Display LEDs - Bright multi-color LEDs always let you know what the compressor is doing.
• 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 is approximately half the size of the original compressor, which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.
