Description
The Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor is a studio compressor with eight distinct compression curves, each offering different sonic characteristics. The unit features a custom gain control circuit designed to impart warmth and harmonic coloring to sources. Modes range from a 1:1 setting that adds low-order harmonics without compression, to aggressive limiting for drum and percussion applications.
