Empirical Labs Product Listing
Empirical Labs is perhaps best known for their Distressor, an incredible compressor/limiter that offers several varieties of that must-have vintage sound.

When you know pros like Ed Cherney, Daniel Lanois, Eddie Kramer, Aerosmith, and Elton John - to name just a few - use their gear, you can feel confident you're making a solid decision when you bring Empirical Labs into your rig.
