Empirical Labs are responsible for the legendary Distressor but did you know they made a 500 series channel Strip type module? Well, they did and it rules! Line or instrument level preamp, versatile EQ, single knob knee compression, soft clipping with a mix knob for tape emulation, this bad boy is jam packed with tonal possibilities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere is more specific info from the crew at Empirical Labs: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith over two years of meticulous development and testing behind it, the DocDerr provides an unprecedented combination of power and musicality in a compact, easy to use format. Empirical Labs’ first compressor in the API 500 format. The DocDerr’s versatile EQ, low-noise preamp, and unique dynamics section allows for shaping the tone of any track in any situation. Whether its on the road, in the studio, or in your guitar rig, the DocDerr has got you covered! The 500 Series format allows for any sticky situation and can clean up any thin guitar sounds or over-bearing vocal chains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extremely low-noise preamp capable of working with line level or instrument level signals, is followed by four sections of EQ combining a two position high pass filter with three parametric bands, each with its own set of carefully tuned frequency presets.  An internal jumper can turn the DocDerr into an unparalleled instrument preamp with 16dB of gain, ideal for acoustic guitar, bass, synths, exotic plucked instruments, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe versatile EQ is followed by a unique dynamics section which offers renowned Empirical Labs compression at an unprecedented price, and an extremely musical tape emulation circuit that softens and tames high frequencies and transient spikes.  We believe it’s the best single knob “knee” compression available in this format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the pivotal features of the DocDerr is the “Mix” knob which allows the user to blend the uncompressed EQ’s signal with the compressed and saturated signal.  This parallel compression technique, used by top recording and mixing engineers for many years unlocks a whole world of sonic possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"612e2041\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-612e2041 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading is-mac\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4842708b\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4842708b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor is-mac\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 3 Hz to 180 kHz on eq section (-3dB points).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 120 dB from maximum output (.5%THD soft clipping) to minimum output.
