Empirical Labs EL-P Pump 500 Series Compressor

The 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 (thats right, we took a software feature and turned it into hardware!).

These features include…

• VCA style compressor circuit
• 8 ratios from 2:1 to 20:1
• Stepped attack and release knobs for easy recall Attack time ranging from 200s to 40ms Release time ranging from 50ms to 500ms Soft-clipping saturation
• AtMod (Attack Modification)
• Switchable Detector HP
