The successor to the beloved Empress Compressor!
The original Empress Effects Compressor was an instant classic.
The pedal gave players features and controls normally only found in high end studio equipment.
Improving on this success, Empress releases the new Compress MKII.
Empress added a ‘tilt’ tone EQ control and a selectable sidechain high pass filter built into the Compressor’s detection circuit.
Oh, and the whole package is now half the size!
