Product overview
The Empirical Labs Distressor EL8 X single-channel analog compressor adds some distinctive British flavor to an already outstanding unit! The EL8 X provides the aggressive all buttons in characteristics obtained from the classic LN1176, courtesy of an onboard British Mode switch. While the Distressor can function very smoothly and transparently, the addition of the British Mode allows it to take on a very un-subtle character, giving you the best of two compressors in one!
