Amazing Compressor
Have tried a lot of compressors over the years and never really been 100% happy. Purchased the Empress Effects 'Blue Sparkle' about a month ago and waited to post a review as i wanted to get familiar with the pedal, before doing so.
Empress suggest some settings in the manual to get you started, and from there its a joy to alter those setting, and hear the difference it can make to your sound. I particularly like the 'MIX' knob, allowing you to mix wet and dry signals. I've used it on both active and passive basses and now that i am familiarizing my self with the pedal is can easily dial in the sound i want.
The unit itself is of excellent build quality, and looks great on my board.
More detailed reviews are to be found on is the site i used to do my research and would I highly recommend it, prior to making a purchase.
I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Thanks to Thomann for excellent service and delivery , as usual

Eén van de beste
Gekocht voor bas. De uitgebreide controls, goede sound, extreem stevig gebouwd, kortom 1 van de beste compressors op de markt. De enorm duidelijke metering zorgt er ook voor dat je je compressie echt kan finetunen. De optionele sidechain is een leuke plus, maar zelf nog niet gebruikt.

Truly great compressor
After pondering in which compressor pedal to invest I went for the Empress Effects Bass Compressor and I must say: no regrets at all. Super competent, sturdy, intuitive, transparent and with those fantastic led meters.

Beautifully sounding compressor
It's a very clean and detailed compressor and gives you fine control of your sound. You can probably follow the examples from the booklet, just plug-n-play and sound great, but I feel I will be fine tuning this pedal for a while to get the exact control that I want.
Definitely recommend it.

The greatest copressor
Good build, a tank could run over it and it would still work. Quality of sound amazing, handling simple.. Worth of the money.

Just amazed
There's so much to this compressor!
Just the settings referenced in the booklet are amazing, and then you start fiddling with them and there's a whole new world! It's really transparent, and can be turned to aggressive. I wasn't a big fun of slap, but I've spent many hours slapping with this.
The sidechain high pass filter is lovely, and don't get me started on using the sidechain for ducking!
The quality of the hardware is the best I've seen on a pedal, the knobs are just the right amount of "hard" to turn, and the footswitch is pressed seamlessly, and it is a BEAUTY.
It's the best "sound better" pedal I've come across

Just great!
I can't say enough good things about this unit. It's perfect. Sounds great, the amount of control and response is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and get one of these, best money you'll spend.

Do not look any further!
Research was done, reviews were read and all options i need are in finger reach. Transparent, agressive if You want it, sidechain option is a killer and tone shaping is spot on.
Save your self some time and tone and get it.

very very happy!
This is my first Empress Effects pedal and I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be the last one.
The building quality is very good...it's sturdy and solid..not just the case, but also the knobs etc.
It has many features that are not a surprise for me... In fact, they're some of the reasons that convinced me to choose this one...the wet/dry knob is one of them, but also all the "standard" compressor controls (attack, release, etc), and the input/GR meters.
What surprised me is the "tone colour" selector. I knew it was there of course, but I didn't imagine it could change the sound so much, and I think it's a very good thing to have different options for different situations and different instruments.
Oh, and it sounds amazing btw!! :)
