Empirical Labs EL-P Pump - 500-Series Module

The Empirical Labs PUMP is a 500-series module compressor that has taken the DNA of the Distressor and distilled it into a single 500-space package at an affordable price. It also borrows features from some other ELI products, like a germanium diode-based saturation circuit similar to the one in the Mike-E and the attack envelope shaping AtMod from the Arousor plugin (that’s right, we took a software feature and turned it into hardware!).

PRODUCT FEATURES:

• VCA style compressor circuit
• 8 ratios from 2:1 to 20:1
• Stepped attack and release knobs for easy recall
• Attack time ranging from 200µs to 40ms
• Release time ranging from 50ms to 500ms
