Key Features
Compress to impress. The Empress Effects Compressor MK2 builds upon its predecessor's revolutionary design. Featuring a wealth of tone-tweaking controls, including a sidechain hpf switch as well as Attack and Release dials, this pedal will give your tone that crisp edge which will propel it through the mix.
It also comes in a much smaller, pedalboard-friendly housing compared to the older version, so you can save space for even more effects at your shows. Make no mistake, this is a studio-grade, world-class compressor with all the bells and whistles, and it'll transform your sound.

It's extensive. The control panel of this pedal lets you tweak tonnes of parameters - shape your sound to perfection. From the Input and Output level dials to the classic Attack and Release dials, you'll be able to mould this compression to suit your needs. There's also Mix and Tone knobs for to help further inject your tone with depth and flair. But it's the Ratio and Sidechain hpf switches which really separate this pedal from the crowd (aside from its flawless design and premium components). These add a new dimension to the effect, helping you tighten up your tone even more. Experiment to your heart's content.
This is MK2. The predecessor to this pedal was legendary in its own right, offering world-class compression and premium features. But this iteration brings you a much more compact size, meaning you can fit it onto your pedalboard with greater ease. The interface also remains incredibly intuitive, despite harbouring even more unique features. And to top it all off, it looks stunning, coming in a beautiful, stand-out finish.
