There are thousands of effects pedals on offer, with something to suit every budget and every sound. Effects pedals – sometimes called stomp boxes or FX – were originally targeted at guitar players, but now there are options for everyone, including pedals designed specifically for bass guitars, synths and vocals. Old-school effects pedals were typically simple analogue effects like distortion, overdrive, fuzz, wah and flangers. Modern pedals might also include digital processing, unlocking complex reverbs, delays, loopers and modulation effects like chorus. Electronic producers should look out for pedals which can handle line-level signals, making it easier to hook up synthesisers, modular synths, drum machines, samplers and other pro studio equipment. Some pedals even offer stereo inputs and outputs, meaning you can use them on true stereo signals. Whether you’re looking for a cheap, high-quality distortion or a boutique multi-effects unit, there’s something for everyone.
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.

Notes: Pedal version of the excellent Golden Master module, featuring multi-band end-of-chain processing with EQ, compression and mid/side stereo widening effects. Ideal for bass or guitar.
Supplier's Notes:
On-stage mastering
Based on Endorphin.es' Golden Master eurorack module and our experience in electronic live music performances, Endorphin.es developed Golden Master - a multiband processor pedal to deliver high pressure audio for live concerts and venues: sound loud without overloading the master limiter.
Multiband processor consists of EQ, compressor and mid-side
24 bit 96 kHz audio I/O with 32 bit internal processing
Stereo enhancer for each of the 3 bands
High impedance inputs, pseudo-balanced outputs: works also as a DI-box on stage
One knob compressor per band along with global threshold allows you to intuitively achieve results
Dedicated expression pedal for master volume control
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.

Gloamer is an all-analog, polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that alters the attack and decay time of any sound source without sacrificing the fidelity of the original tone.
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.
