Empress S&D Compressor Bass - Blue Sparkle
When Empress released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Although this original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) Empress 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 + colour’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.
EMPRESS S&D Compressor Bass Blue Sparkle compact effect pedal is a limited edition offered in a special finish.
