Une merveille !
Cruxinator 24.07.2024
Que dire à part : foncez l'acheter si vous chercher un compresseur en 500.
J'ai testé pas mal de comp en hardware (même pas forcément au format 500) et celui ci est une petite pépite !
C'est chaleureux, puissant, peut compresser fort et tout de même garder du bas grace à la fonction "Attack Mod".
Il est simple d'utilisation et à son style et encore une fois, en terme de son c'est vraiment excellent !

Seul bémol (en tout cas pour moi) : c'est livré dans une boite carton, posé dedans sans protection. C'ests un peu limite vu le prix de la bete

"Distressor Jr" did not fit on the plate
Lacrosse mathieu 03.02.2025
They couldn't call it distressor Jr because the plate was too small...

What to say exept it's all you'd expect from empirical labs, the magic compression they are known for, the power and the transparency. All that in a small format for 500 serie.

I used it live, on traditionnal acoustic instruments, and grunge/metal voices. It does it all, takes it all.
It's not the distressor, it's its own thing, and damn it sounds good.

I'm happy with it. The pump is powerful
