Overview

When we released our 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. Now, based on our users’ valuable feedback, we’ve taken everything great about our original Compressor and made it even better. 

On top of the full range of 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, we’ve now 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 and available in two snazzy colours!

Features

  • All Analog Signal Path - no digitals in here!
  • Extremely Transparent - Add dynamic control without altering the original tone of your instrument
  • 3 Compression Ratios - 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios offer lots of flexibility
  • Attack and Release Control - allows for ultimate control over the compression characteristics
  • Mix - Blend uncompressed signal in with the compressed signal for parallel compression, New York Style!
  • Metering - Meter both gain reduction and input levels on separate meters.
  • Tone - New tone knob, a "tilt" sytle tone knob centered at 500Hz to nail that perfect tone.
  • Sidechain Send/Return- 3.5mm TRS jack send and return for sidechain compression.  
  • Sidechain High Pass Filter - No need to add a high pass filter to the sidechain, now there is one built in that can be toggled off or set to 120 or 240Hz. 
  • True Display LEDs - Bright multi-color LEDs always let you know what the compressor is doing.
  • Power On Bypassed or Engaged - For musicians that never want to turn their compressor off. 
  • True Bypass - The Empress Compressor employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.
  • Small Size - New enclosure approximately half the size of the original compressor, which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.
  • Beautiful Case - It has a sparkle you can't deny, in blue or silver!

Do Not Purchase- junk
Color: Gold
Do not buy. Cheap, cheap, cheap! Directions on how to fix the plastic band are for a different watch. I cannot remove links and it is too big! Do not purchase! Only gave it one star because I had to. Would give no stars, but it wouldn’t let me publish.

Great value for vintage inspired wristwatch
Color: Brown White
I was struggling to find a brown silver leather wristwatch that was under $50, but this watch meets all my needs and looks timeless. I like the leather strap a lot because it is thin and looks polished. The leather is a really rich brown color that looks very elegant. The strap is also comfortable for my everyday wear and is not prone to scratches. The face is also the perfect size for my wrist and gives the vintage feel that I was looking for. Overall, the quality is great for the price point and I really like this watch!

Beautiful!!
I have had my eye on this watch for a long time. I used to wear a watch all the time and when my last watch broke, I never replaced it. I am very fussy about the fit of my watch. It can’t be too loose and sloppy, but I also don’t want it to be too tight either. This watch is dainty and beautiful! It has nice tiny little links so you can size it in small increments to fit just right!! I was nervous about sizing and adjusting it myself after reading the reviews, but my 10-year-old son helped me and between the two of us we were able to hold things and tap the pins out and back in place fairly easily. It only took us a few minutes and I had it fitting perfect!
