Details for the
EL-9 Mike-E Comp
General Description
A preamp full of crunchy distortion, a multi-stage soft-clipping circuit saturator, and a compressor based on the ELI Distressor—all in one native plug-in.
Versatile tonal coloring that replicates the coolest characteristics of vintage analog recording equipment
Comments
Precisely modeled in close collaboration with Dave Derr,
Empirical Labs Mike-E Comp offers high-caliber, one-of-a-kind saturation/compression based on the famous ELI Distressor.
A punchy preamp that's available before the CompSat circuitry, and three different emphasis modes—plus NUKE!—enable multi-stage distortion and quick changes to the character of the saturation/compression behavior.
Available for the first time as a native plug-in, Mike-E makes it a total blast to go overboard.
And when you do, you’re rewarded with nary a hint of harshness—no matter how far you push it to the extreme. Excess without consequence?
That’s rock & roll. And it's what makes Mike-E your man in the box
