Notes: When Empress released the original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Although our original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) we set out to do even better.

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we've now added a fully variable sidechain high pass filter, and a two position 'tone + colour' circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.

Two footswitches let you select presets and bypass with your feet

Notes: When the original Compressor was released back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Now, based on users' valuable feedback, everything great about the original Compressor has been taken and made even better.

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, Empress have now added a 'tilt' tone eq control, and a selectable sidechain high pass filter built into the Compressor's detection circuit.

Notes: Dusky drama

Gloamer is an all-analogue, polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that alters the attack and decay time of any sound source without sacrificing the fidelity of the original tone. Its attack function provides a pick-triggered volume swell: a cinematic "slow gear" effect that is smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. The volume swell cycle can be reset at any moment by muting, allowing players to craft bowed string-like lines and chords with ease. Gloamer also features a powerful optical compressor that can add subtle punch or extreme sustain, helping to maintain a smooth volume swell effect even with very long attack times. A Volume knob controls loudness at the peak of the attack cycle, while a master Blend control allows players to layer an uncompressed clean sound in with the volume swell effect. Additionally, when activated, the Decay function causes notes to fade out once the attack cycle is complete. When the decay cycle is completed, an auto-reset function causes the attack to begin again immediately, as long as there is audio input. This allows you to create a wide range of undulating, asymmetrical tremolos at slower settings as well as pulsating stutter effects when using faster attack and decay times.

Knob-by-knob

Volume: Sets the master output volume of the effect when engaged.
Compression: Determines the balance of clean and compressed signal.
Blend: Determines the balance of clean signal and effect.
Attack: Determines the duration of time it takes for a note to swell in from silent to full volume.
Decay: Determines the duration of time it takes for a note to fade out from full volume to silence.
Sensitivity: Determines how much input signal is needed to reset the attack and decay cycle.
Ready (LED): Signals when the pedal is armed and ready to begin the attack and/or decay cycle.

A hi-fi attack and decay master
Gloamer was designed to allow players to change the nature of their attack and decay while maintaining pristine, hi-fidelity audio. Easily swell blooming single note lines or full, lush chords and become the string section you've always wanted to hire but can't afford.

Notes: Your Dream Tone Starts Here.

Start your signal chain with the best possible version of your guitar tone. Treat your guitar signal to true studio quality analogue compression with two distinct voices for smooth transparency or vintage squeeze. Hit the Boost switch to add clean boost or soft-clipped dirty boost, with the EQ curve of your choice. Mix in some dry signal for natural attack even with extreme compression settings. Feel the perfectly tailored dynamic response, feeding your amp and effects just what they need to sound their best.

Your Everything Upgrade.

From pickups, tubes, capacitors, to speaker cabinets-the aspects of a rig that can be upgraded or changed are nearly endless. Plug in Compadre and you may find you already have everything you need for the tone you've been seeking.

Bring out your amp's character in ways you never thought possible. Compadre's Class A JFET input circuit, studio quality analogue compression, and musically voiced analogue boost circuits all work together to make your amp sound like it was just modified by a world-class boutique amp designer.

Super Flexible, Super Easy.

Compadre gives you everything you need to shape your front end tone, and nothing to slow you down. Auto makeup gain and auto threshold mean that all you have to do is turn up the Compression knob to dial in the desired amount. Compadre's wide variety of tone shaping features are all designed to easily sound great across a wide variety of settings.

Two Distinct Analogue Compression Circuits.

Choose between two compression circuits, each with its own unique character. Studio mode gives you the smooth, beautifully transparent compression typically found in the best vintage studio rack units. For a harder compression effect typical of classic guitar pedals, Compadre's Squeeze mode is designed to deliver heavy compression with maximum sustain.

Boost the Sweet Spot, Clean or Dirty.

Compadre gives you two distinct analogue boost circuits: a clean boost, and a dirty boost that introduces soft clipping, characteristic of an overdrive pedal. The selectable boost EQ ensures the perfect compliment to any guitar and amp combination. Add sparkle and shine with a treble boost, fatten your tone with the midrange boost, or level up the full frequency range with flat mode.

Extended Control.

Connect an expression pedal to add premium VCA-based volume control. Add an optional MiniSwitch or MultiSwitch Plus to store and recall your favourite settings. Integrate Compadre into a MIDI pedalboard using the MIDI EXP Cable and access up to 300 preset locations.

Vintage Inspiration, Modern Execution.

The Compadre design project started with a study of some of the finest analogue compressors ever created, inspiring and guiding the circuit design process. Utilizing a VCA in the compression circuits allowed Strymon to carefully tune the exact response and dynamics that were desired for each voicing.

For Studio mode, the goal was to achieve the musical and transparent sound found within Strymon's favourite studio rack units and the best vintage studio console bus compression. Careful tuning of the detection circuit provided Strymon with exacting control over decay, especially important for Squeeze mode. With ample sustain on tap, Strymon paid special attention to creating a completely smooth decay, with no unwanted pumping artifacts.
