Although our original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) we set out to do even better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn 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 fully variable sidechain high pass filter, and a two position ‘tone + colour’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFET compressor with transparent, all-analog signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-segment metering for input and gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 ratios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain input with selectable high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix knob for parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilt EQ centred at 500Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue bypass switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTransparent Analog Signal Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience pure analog compression without any digital interference. The Bass Compressor features FET compression that preserves your instrument’s original tone while adding dynamic control. Choose from 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 compression ratios for a wide range of dynamic control options. Fine-tune the compression characteristics with independent attack and release controls for precise adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnhanced Low-End Response and Compact Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bassists and extended-range guitarists, the Bass Compressor handles low frequencies from 10Hz to 20Hz with ease. The new enclosure is approximately half the size of the original compressor, saving space on your pedalboard, and is available in blue or silver sparkle finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Metering and Parallel Compression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonitor both gain reduction and input levels with separate meters for clear, accurate feedback.

Use the 3.5mm TRS jack send and return for sidechain compression, and adjust the variable high-pass filter from 20Hz to 400Hz for precise control over low-frequency compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1M\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2k\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10Hz - 20kHz\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e less than 0.1%\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 101dB\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Input Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V DC (Negative tip)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1mm barrel (Centre Negative)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~100mA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die Cast Aluminum\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" Jack\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" Jack\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight (including controls):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1lbs\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Empress Effects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52188535095480,"sku":"CPBS","price":274.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/EmpressEffectsatISG__0006_BassSilverFront_-_transparent.jpg?v=1765037825","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/empress-effects-bass-compressor-silver-sparkle","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
