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.
Product Features:
- 500 Series compressor that packs a ton of value and sound quality
- Attack settings: 200 microseconds — 50 milliseconds
- Release settings: 50 – 600 milliseconds, plus Opto-style auto release
- Ratios: 2:1. 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1, and 20:1
- 5Hz – 175kHz frequency response
- Dynamic range of 125dB max output (0.5% THD germanium diode soft clipping)
- Noise floor of -101dBu with Output set to 0
- Detector HP of 70Hz
- Voltage: +/- 16.5V 100mA
The Empirical Labs Pump is a powerful compressor brought to the 500 Series format. The intuitively laid out front panel includes knobs for attack, release, input trim, and output make-up gain, plus a continuously variable attack modification for shaping transients. Additional buttons engage ratio, bypass, and turn on Saturation Mode.
