Introducing the Empirical Labs Pump 500-Series Compressor!

NAMM is upon us once again, and with that, we’re excited to announce Empirical Labs’ first new hardware product in over a decade, the Empirical Labs 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 (that’s right, we took a software feature and turned it into hardware!).

We’re very excited to see how you use the PUMP for recording and mixing and can’t wait for you to get your hands on it as well. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
