Empress Compressor

The all new Empress Compressor is a totally transparent compression pedal designed to bring studio quality compression to the stage. Featuring maximum versatility, the Empress Compressor allows for total control over the effect, something that three knobs just can't do. With controls for Input, Attack, Release, Mix, and Output the Empress Compressor allows for as much fine tuning as a rack mounted studio compressor in a small footprint stompbox. No more settling for "almost", this unit will allow any guitarist to maximize the potential of compression for sustain and attack. The Empress Compressor also features a gain reduction meter for a visual representation of the amount of compression being used. This meter also doubles as an input meter and can be used either way or both at the same time. The Empress Compressor also has a switch for compression ratio (2:1, 4:1, and 10:1), true bypass switching, and a sidechain input. http://proguitarshop.com/store/effects-compressor-pedals-c-602_87/empress-com...

I still and never understood what a compressor pedal does :S

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Ziece4 - Short answer: Compressors even out the dynamics in your playing by bringing up the quietest part of the signal, while simultaneously bringing down the level of the loudest parts. Guitarists generally use them to add greater punch, sustain, and perceived volume to a clean (or slightly dirty) guitar tone. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

@moucon - Thank you very much! We would agree that his accent lends credibility, but Burgs is Australian. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks again!

If you are using compressor the fretboard is very sensitive? so you can easily play legato?

Thank you.

Can anyone tell me if they have compared the Keeley C4 Compressor to the Empress Compressor, and what did they prefer better? I'm in the market for one, not looking for price, just quality and the best pedal compressor.

@jesman1 yes it has a mix knob, so does the wampler ego, barber tone press etc. Apparently yes (to the dynacomp question)

[jesman1]

I like the idea of a compressor adding sustain (especially for clean parts). But don`t like the fact that you can hear it squashing the initial attack, therefore making it sound muddy to my ears. Does the Empress (or any compressors) have a mix control to where one can still have the dry signal present to keep the attack? Read in reviews this is a very good compressor none the less. Does it squash (pun intended) a MXR DynaComp in quality and sound?- heh
