{"product_id":"empress-effects-bass-compressor","title":"Empress Effects Bass Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Empress released their 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 that original Compressor sounded great on bass — and still does — Empress set out to do even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high-end studio equipment — input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert — the Bass Compressor adds a fully variable sidechain high-pass filter and a two-position \"tone + colour\" circuit that brings gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTransparent Analog Signal Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure analog compression without any digital interference. FET compression preserves your instrument's original tone while adding dynamic control. Choose from 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios, and fine-tune the compression character with independent attack and release controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEnhanced Low-End Response and Compact Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bassists and extended-range guitarists, the Bass Compressor handles low frequencies from 10Hz with ease. The enclosure is approximately half the size of the original Compressor, saving space on your pedalboard, and comes in Blue Sparkle or Silver Sparkle finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Metering and Parallel Compression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonitor both gain reduction and input levels with separate meters for clear, accurate feedback. Blend uncompressed and compressed signals using the Mix control for New York-style parallel compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTone + Colour and Sidechain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-position \"Tone + Colour\" switch can be set flat, to a mid cut at 500Hz, or to an upper-mid boost at 2kHz, and can optionally add harmonic distortion for extra warmth and punch. Use the 3.5mm TRS send and return for sidechain compression, and adjust the variable high-pass filter from 20Hz to 400Hz for precise control over low-frequency compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoiced for bass with 10Hz – 20kHz frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-analog signal path with true bypass switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-segment metering for input and gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain input with variable high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour circuit adds harmonic distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix knob for parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1MΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10Hz – 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e less than 0.1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 101dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Input Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V DC centre-negative, 2.1mm barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~100mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e die-cast aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8\" L × 2.6\" W × 2.5\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUPC: Blue Sparkle 850040850222 · Silver Sparkle 850040850239\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empress Effects","offers":[{"title":"Blue Sparkle","offer_id":43052189089863,"sku":"EMP006-COMPBASSBLU","price":388.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Sparkle","offer_id":43052189122631,"sku":"EMP007-COMPBASSSILV","price":388.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2221\/6669\/files\/unnamed_cbfc8c54-03e6-40e1-b1e4-62804190ed8a.jpg?v=1786068917","url":"https:\/\/www.echoinox.com\/products\/empress-effects-bass-compressor","provider":"Echoinox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
