{"product_id":"empress-bass-compressor","title":"Empress Bass Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bass Compressor is the Compressor MKII rebuilt for low end. It keeps the FET compression, independent attack and release, the 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios, the input and gain reduction meters and the Mix knob for parallel compression. The frequency response goes down to 10Hz, so five-string and extended-range players aren't losing the bottom of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things are different. The sidechain high-pass filter is fully variable from 20Hz to 400Hz, so you decide how much of the low end the compressor reacts to. And a three-position Tone + Colour switch sets it flat, cuts the mids at 500Hz or lifts the upper mids at 2kHz, with optional harmonic distortion for some extra grit and punch. There is a 3.5mm TRS sidechain send and return, true bypass, and an all-analog path, built by Empress in Ottawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Sparkle or Silver Sparkle, same circuit in both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompression: FET\u003cbr\u003eRatio: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1\u003cbr\u003eSidechain High-Pass Filter: variable, 20Hz - 400Hz\u003cbr\u003eTone + Colour: flat, 500Hz mid cut, 2kHz upper-mid boost; optional harmonic distortion\u003cbr\u003eSidechain Insert: 3.5mm TRS send and return\u003cbr\u003eBypass: True bypass\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 1MΩ\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 2.2kΩ\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB): 10Hz - 20kHz\u003cbr\u003eDistortion: less than 0.1%\u003cbr\u003eNoise: 101dB\u003cbr\u003eInput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\u003cbr\u003eOutput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\u003cbr\u003ePower Input Voltage: 9V DC Centre-Negative\u003cbr\u003ePower Input Connector: 2.1mm barrel connector\u003cbr\u003ePower Consumption: ~100mA\u003cbr\u003eEnclosure Material: Die Cast Aluminum\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 2.5\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 4.8\"\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 2.6\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Blue Sparkle","offer_id":48147355730004,"sku":"CPBB","price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Sparkle","offer_id":48147355762772,"sku":"CPBS","price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/empress-bass-compressor-CPBB-front_sq.jpg?v=1794252843","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/empress-bass-compressor","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
