collapse expand iconDescription

The Empress Bass Compressor contains 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, along with 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.
