Empress Effects Compressor Analog Compression Guitar Effects Pedal
Compressor Analog Compression Guitar Effects Pedal. Compression is a tool used on pretty much every recording you will ever hear, yet this extremely useful and versatile tool is often overlooked by guitar players as part of their rig. Other compressor pedals are often limited by oversimplified controls and heavily colored sounds. Empress has created a truly transparent compressor, complete with all the controls found in the studio. The result is a tool that allows for a wide range of sounds from subtly adding sustain to getting the “quack” that country players love. With all the controls available in top end studio compressors, the Empress Compressor has opened new sonic doors for guitarists; ranging from truly transparent compression for dynamic control to over the top squashing. We’ve also included a wet/dry mix knob that allows parallel compression for increased transparency and dynamics. Plus the three compression ratios, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1, offer lots of flexibility.

My style of playing includes a combination of finger picking and slap,…
Works excellently with melodica too. Using the 10:1 compressor rate and by tweaking the input, mix and output knobs, this creates the most beautiful soundscapes (the sweetest spot of a sweet spot), when playing my melodica through a dynamic mic and acoustic amp. This pedal is one if not THE essential pedal on my pedal board from now on. The compressor brings every played note to shine and sparkle, or call it crisp, clear and enhanced. The attack and release option work out to their best. This compressor is the first pedal in my…
