The product that started it all for Empirical Labs. Born of founder Dave Derr’s love of classic compressors like the 1176, LA-2A and Gain Brain (among others), the Distressor incorporates his favorite sonic characteristics of these, along with other unique and interesting features that have made it a staple for audio engineers all over the world. With over 28,000 units in the field, it’s safe to say that the Distressor is one of the best selling high end compressors of all time… if not THE best selling. A prominent recording engineer recently wagered that there probably was not a top 40 record made in the last five years that didn’t have at least one Distressor on it.

Arguably the coolest and most unique device in the Empirical Labs arsenal, the FATSO (Full Analog Tape Simulator and Optimizer) is a digitally controlled analog device that gives musicians and engineers easy access to many of the desirable characteristics exhibited by older tube and Class A electronics and magnetic tape mediums. This two channel audio processor musically integrates frequencies and transients, increasing the apparent volume while keeping tight control over peak levels.

In today’s modern age of digital recorders, DAWs and software plug-ins, Mike-E is the ultimate solution for getting a clean and strong, yet warm and musical signal into the box…and it couldn’t be easier to work – its front panel layout is so straight ahead that even inexperienced engineers will have no problem moving around on it right away.

As with ELI’s other signal processors, the Lil FrEQ Equalizer takes a somewhat unique approach to its job. Instead of daisy chaining several equalizers and frequency processors, we combined most of the sound sculpting tools an engineer needs into a compact single rack space box, while still offering the highest performance of any design in its class.

Beebo is a pedal that gives you the power of a modular synth in an easy to use touch screen format. If you want great live tools, to push the boundaries of sound design, capture real spaces or simulate a sitar, it's all possible.

6 in 8 out, all CV & audio capable plus MIDI IO. 30 hp.

It currently contains 97 different modules. if you want effects, the phasers, flangers, bitmangle, freeze, granular, filters, powerful LFOs, time stretch, turntable stop, step sequencer, twist delay, VCA, wavefolder, quantiser, attenuverter and more will cover it.There’s some very powerful modules including a granular texture synthesiser, a 16 model macro oscillator voice and a meta modulator with 7 blendable signal combining algorithms including ring modulation, comparators and cross folding.

Verbs answers an age old question. Would your guitar (or synth) sound good in the Pantheon of Rome? Or a nuclear reactor hall, a cave, a neolithic tomb, the London Palladium? The answer is yes

Vierfacher digitaler LFO mit spannungssteuerbarer Frequenz und Reset. Die LFOs können unabhängig laufen oder in drei Sync-Modi: Quadratur, Phasemodus oder Divider-Modus abhängig vom ersten Kanal. Zwei der drei Wellenformausgänge eines Kanals haben eine feste und der drtte eine zuweisbare Wellenform. Bequeme Bedienung durch beleuchtete Schieberegler.

Das Belgrad ist eine analoge Multimode-Schaltung mit variablem Grundsound und ganzen zehn Filter-Charakteristika. Zwei mehr oder weniger unabhängige Resonanzspitzen machen, neben klassischen Frequenzbeschneidungen, auch ungewöhnliche Ergebnisse möglich. Hierunter fallen zum Beispiel Formant-Klänge.

Bytom ist ein dreifacher Mischer für Gate- bzw. Triggersignale, ein sogenannter OR-combiner. Er besteht aus drei unabhängigen Sektionen, von der jede bis zu vier Signale bearbeiten kann. Durch Schalter kann man die einzelnen Sektionen miteinander koppeln, um bis zu zwölf Signale miteinander zu mischen.

Drezno II [ˈdrɛznɔ] is a component of the Leibniz Binary Subsystem, a family of 8-bit signal processing devices offering comprehensive manipulation of signals and voltages in the digital domain. Drezno II is the input/output front-end of the system consisting of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

Ein analoges Phasenschieber-Modul, das von klassischen Phasern der 1970er inspiriert, aber neu designt und für Synthesizer angepasst wurde. Es hat vier stimmbare und zwei feste Stufen, deswegen auch zwei Ausgänge. Ein integrierter spannungssteuerbarer LFO, zwei Feedbackmodi, viel Resonanz sowie ein vielseitiger Klang machen Kamieniec zu einem sehr feinem Effektmodul.
Einzigartig ist die Möglichkeit, mehrere dieser Module zu verketten, um einen Phaser mit mehr Stufen und einem exotischen, dichteren Klang zu erhalten.

Katowice is a stereo variable–band isolator that allows the user to manipulate a selected range of frequencies. It is the first module in a series of upcoming Xaoc Devices products designed specifically for processing stereo signals.
