Empirical Labs EL8-XS Distressor with British Mode and Image Link - Stereo Pair

Brand: Empirical Labs

Features:

• Dual-channel Compress with "British Mode"

PartNumber: EL8X-S Stereo Pair

Details: The Distressor - Classic Compression!The Distressor gets its name from its feature of incorporating harmonic DISTortion with a classic knee compRESSOR. For instance, the Distortion 2 setting introduces a 2nd order harmonic, which adds tube-like analog warmth to the signal and the Distortion 3 setting introduces a 3rd order harmonic, which simulates tape saturation (great for guitars, bass and drums)!Digitally Controlled Compression Unlike most analog compressor/limiters the Distressor is a digitally controlled audio device and actually incorporates several products into one by utilizing digital controls to switch totally different circuits in and out.Vintage Sound Besides offering a wide range of control and unique features, the Distressor offers a warm, vintage sound by using a custom designed gain control circuit. This "warmth" or vintage sound has become an important issue in the last 15 years, as the super clear and linear digital technology does very little (or nothing) to soften "harsh"
