Compressor Mk2

Empress Effects Compressor provides unparalleled sonic accuracy and versatility; equipped with input and gain reduction metering, adjustable compression attack and release, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain input with a variable high pass filter and two ‘tone + colour’ knobs. Create distinctive soundscapes with added harmonics and tone-shaping.Input: sets the level entering the compressor circuit. Higher levels result in more compression.Attack: controls how quickly the compressor will reduce the gain when an incoming signal exceeds the treshold. Attack time increases as you turn the knob clockwise. Range: 50μs - 50msMix: controls the level between the dry signal and the wet (compressed) signal. All the way clockwise is 100% wet signal and all the way counterclockwise is 100% dry signal. Blending in the dry signal brings back the dynamics that can be lost during compression. This technique of parallel compression allows for added sustain without losing the
