Empress Effects has launched its Compressor MKII pedal, a successor to its popular Compressor pedal.
The MKII retains the control set and features of its predecessor – such as independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression and an external sidechain insert – while cutting its size in half.
The analog signal path and onboard LEDs of the original have also been retained, while a ‘tilt’ tone EQ control and selectable sidechain high-pass filter have been brought aboard.
The Empress Effects Compressor MKII pedal will be available starting November 25 for $249.
