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.

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.

Universal drum synthesizer with roots in the analog world on a swappable 10HP oscillator platform

Hybrid additive phase-modulation voice on a swappable oscillator platform

Expando Expandi adds 8 freely assignable CV inputs to the Xer Mixa in just 4 HP. Connect up to two Expando Expandi to Xer Mixa for easy CV control over channel levels, pan, aux sends, and more.

Dem Integra Solum reicht ein simples Taktsignal, um wilde, aber trotzdem gut tanzbare Rhythmen zu produzieren.

Gross, gritty, and dark industrial-strength voice on a swappable oscillator platform. Pangolin approved.

Mimetic Sequent ist ein CV-Rekorder mit raffinierten Zufallsfunktionen und Quantizer. 

24dB resonant lowpass filter and distortion with internal modulation and envelope following

Intuitive 1-16 step pitch CV sequencer with pattern saving and randomization

Xer Mixa is a mixer with ten stereo-paired inputs (8 channels and 2 aux-ins), three stereo-paired output busses, tactile controls, and a 100% analog signal path with low noise and crosstalk, pristine sound quality, and ultra-high headroom. A built-in analog leveling amplifier is great for adding some punch to your mix. A digital control interface harnesses the true power of hybrid design, allowing for state save and recall, per-channel pan law and pre/post send settings, multichannel editing, and MIDI I/O.
