Taking everything that made Compressor great and retuning it for bass guitars, the blue Empress Effects Bass Compressor packs high-end studio controls into a compact guitar pedal. Sporting Attack and Release controls, Mix for parallel compression, and a unique Tone + Color control, Bass Compressor is like having a studio compressor on your pedalboard.

Bass Compressor is extremely transparent, maintaining your signal tone during dynamics processing, while the true bypass circuit similarly ensures a pure, uncolored signal once the pedal is disengaged. Switches are provided for ratio selection (2:1, 4:1, or 10:1) and the side-chain high-pass filter, which applies a 120 or 240 Hz low-cut filter to the handy 3.5mm TRS side-chain input. Built in Canada, this pedal features an all-analog signal path, delivering the smooth response only a true analog compressor can provide.
