From Our Research Team:

A Versatile Do-anything Compressor

Looking for a great sounding and flexible stereo compressor? You'll find the elysia xpressor can easily handle any compression task. The discrete Class A circuitry keeps your sound intact, just like you want it, without crossover distortion. The xpressor sounds wide, open and punchy and will keep your audio pristine. You'll especially love the Auto Fast feature, a switchable semi-automation that lets you achieve the perfect attack. What's more, the xpressor features stepped pots, so you can always repeat your results.

elysia xpressor at a Glance:
  • Parallel compression
  • Stepped pots
  • Sidechain filter


Parallel compression
Parallel compression lets you dial in a mix of compressed and uncompressed signal. This is a built-in feature on the elysia xpressor. Parallel compression, sometimes called New York Compression, lets you maintain the subtleties of the performance while controlling and taming the dynamics.

Stepped pots
The elysia xpressor features stepped pots, each pot has 41 steps. This makes recalling precise settings very easy, and even experimenting with new settings. No more guessing on where the knob was exactly set to, the xpressor makes it simple.

Sidechain filter
The sidechain filter on the elysia xpressor lets you dial in compression on specific frequencies while avoiding others. For instance: you can compress the bass drum frequencies to your liking without having to compress the entire mix, which would likely lead to over compressing the song. You can really dial in your compression with the xpressor.

elysia xpressor Features
  • Stepped potentiometers for repeatable results
  • Versatile compressor with discrete Class-A topology
  • Auto Fast feature
  • Sidechain filter
  • Parallel compression
  • Analog dynamic LED meter

Put the elysia xpressor into your rack for versatile compression flavors!

Great an clean sound

by Telmo Avelino from Brazil

Music Background: Music Producer
This is a great sounding unity, but since its my first outboard compressor I was expecting more of a character but this one delivers a clean and punchy type of compression. I find it great for plucked... read more [+] synths, percussion, drums, good for low male voice, it has a lot of punch and it is hard to drive it to distortion, I can get 15db of gain reduction on the mix bus without it distortion.
Overall great unity for what it does. close [-]
