Empirical Labs Distressor Compressor
The Empirical Labs Distressor is the product that started it all for Empirical Labs and has become a studio standard the world over. Born of founder Dave Derr’s love of classic compressors like the 1176, LA-2A and Gain Brain, the Empirical Labs Distressor incorporates his favourite sonic characteristics of these, along with other and interesting features.
