THE compressor

Lazzaz 13.10.2022

In my opinion the best compressor currently out there to grab.
Compact size, full (studio-grade) control and amazing, noise-free operation. Very transparent sound, hardly any coloration of the original signal (unless you want it to with the tilt EQ tone knob).
Due to the separate attack, decay, blend and tone knobs; any type of compression setting is possible with this superb device.
It equally works well with my Les Pauls, ES-s, Starts, Teles and Super-strats.
If I could only keep one compressor (hope never happens! ), this would be it!
Can’t recommend it enough!

Best compressor I’ve ever used

El Tauro 03.09.2023

I was convinced to get this over a Boss CP-1X or Cali 76 after watching Benn Jordan’s video about them on Youtube.
If you’re interested in the sound of it I recommend checking out that review.

It’s a great compressor. Sound-wise I can’t fault it. Offering anything from subtle compression to super-squashed as well as a bunch of other bells and whistles and a powerful EQ section.

The only criticism I have is that the knobs/pots feel a little fragile. The aluminium knobs that Empress have chosen feel light/cheap, which is a consideration for something you’ll be treading on.

New addition to my rig

Mike Richardson 02.05.2024

Still getting the hang of crafting my own tone but, between the EMG 57/66 set in my Schecter and my V1 Overdrive, this machine is right at home!

The controllability is excellent, and the construction is top notch!

Not as good as I thought.

Old skool no more. 12.08.2024

I obviously had a faulty one but when it did work I was not impressed anyway. First only certain jacks would work on the input, then I had to wiggle it round for it to get a signal. You have to switch it on every time the board is powered up, A pain in the bum when I had to put it on the lower deck. Then the input level showed no signal then when I turned the input level up to 10 o'clock it jumped way to high. It was also incredibly noisy. Shame because it looked as though it could have been great.
