Empirical Labs EL-P PUMP
500 Series Compressor
AVAILABLE with VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL FACEPLATES
The PUMP is a 500-series module compressor that has taken the DNA of the Distressor and distilled it into a single 500 space package at an affordable price. It also borrows features from some other ELI products, like a germanium diode-based saturation circuit similar to the one in the Mike-E and the attack envelope shaping AtMod from the Arousor plugin (that’s right, we took a software feature and turned it into hardware!).
These features include…
- VCA style compressor circuit
- 8 ratios from 2:1 to 20:1
- Stepped attack and release knobs for easy recall
- Attack time ranging from 200µs to 40ms
- Release time ranging from 50ms to 500ms
- Soft-clipping saturation
- AtMod (Attack Modification)
- Switchable Detector HP
