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.

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

Ein programmierbarer universeller CV-Generator, dessen Grundfunktionalität aus den unglaublich starken (aber auf einem zweizeiligen Display unbedienbaren) Funktionsgeneratoren des E-mu Morpheus stammt. Jetzt wurden sie zu einer überaus flexiblen Modulationsquelle erweitert, die aufwendige One-Shot-Kurven, sich kontinuierlich entwickelnde zyklische Muster von beliebiger Länge und Komplexität umfasst.

1973 - Dave Rossum nimmt den Filterkern der Moog'schen Kaskade in Angriff, überarbeitet den Rest und basiert darauf sein 2100-Tiefpassfilter für das E-Mu Modularsystem.
2015 - findet die Evolution des 2100, Daves Lieblingsfilter, statt und das Ergebnis ist just dieses Euro-Modul, das EVOLUTION.

Following in the tradition of Evolution and Morpheus, LINNAEUS represents yet another Dave Rossum innovation in filter technology.

Mob of Emus is a powerful music and sound design tool that packs an enormous amount of creative power into an amazingly compact 16HP module. 

Das Morpheus ist ein erstklassiges 14-Pol Digitalfilter, das dem Emu Morpheus Synthesizer und seiner Z-Plane-Technologie von 1993 entstammt. Es verwendet komplexe Filterkombinationen, die resonante Klangcharakteristika modellieren und durch spannungsgesteuertes Morphing dreidimensional interpolieren, um nie zuvor gehörte Klänge zu erzeugen. Eigene Filterkombinationen sind speicherbar und sequentiell durchschaltbar.

The latest brainchild of synth pioneer Dave Rossum, TRITON (formerly known as TRIDENT) is a 100% analog, triple oscillator module that opens up a universe of dynamic timbral textures.
