Comments About the DISTRESSOR
"Every once in a while a product comes along with "classic"
written all over it. And in a certain sense of the word, this
product actually is a classic already." Mix Magazine
“Dear Empirical, I’m an LA based producer and an owner of a
Distressor. The unit is really awesome! I've used it on guitars,
bass, room mics, vocals it works great on everything. I've
used it on records I've made with Beck, U2, Etta James, Hole
and lots of others. All The Best, Joe Chiccarelli”
“Distressors: I can't get over HOW GREAT they sound. On
everything. It's truly the best compressor made today.” Greg
Wells (Katy Perry, Pink, Jesse McCartney, Natasha
Bedingfield)
“I sold a couple of 1176's and have replaced them with the
Distressors, which do a great job of emulating the 1176's.
Michael Wagener “(Ozzy Osbourne, Extreme, Metallica)
“In General, I really like where Dave Derr’s ear leads him; one
of pro audios truly independent thinkers, I’m a huge fan of the
box (the Distressor), I use it for bringing up the “goosh” on
ambient sources, and for saturating snares, toms, and kicks.”
George Massenburg
“For those who have come to love and depend on the sound
of the Distressor, the new British Mode turns it into a new fun-
loving animal. At the flick of a switch, the Distressor becomes
more aggressive and stressful on any instrument you desire.
Dave Derr should win the "(explicative)" award for coming up
with such a nice but nasty box.” Michael Brauer (Cold Play,
John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Paul McCartney)
