The EL7 FATSO is a modern digitally controlled analog device that offers many of the "musical non-linearities" exhibited by the older tube, class A discrete, and magnetic tape mediums. This two channel audio processor will musically integrate frequencies and transients and increase the apparant volume without actual increase in peak levels. In addition, two channels of famous Empirical Labs compression are provided. There are several compressor "types" with fixed attacks and releases (if you want a fully controllable compressor, you will need the Empirical Labs Distressor!).
Specifications
We have enjoyed 14 amazing years with the Distressor, and 2008 was our best yet! There are tens of thousands of hit records out there with Distression (not to mention FATSO and Lil FrEQ) all over them! From Pavarotti to Nine Inch Nails, the Distressor can be heard in almost every form of music, live sound, and film production.
