Polish manufacturer Looptrotter has released the Emperor harmonic and dynamics processor.

Available in both dual-channel rackmount and mono 500-Series module formats, the Emperor uses compression, limiting and harmonic distortion to ‘bring life to your sound as well as rich analogue tone, adding brightness, warmth and thickness to your sound.’

Both the Emperor and the Emperor 500 use a FET transistor as a gain reduction control and distortion element, combined with two independent filters designed to work simultaneously without phase shift. The low-cut filter reduces the amount of low-frequency information hitting the compression stage, reducing the amount of distortion material with strong low frequencies such as kick drums or bass guitars. The high-pass filter increases the amount of high frequencies being compressed working as an analogue de-esser or providing ‘tape-like’ warmth.

Three time constants also affect the behaviour of the units with the Fast setting providing limiting with fast attack and release times, Medium working as a fast compressor and the Slow setting as a slow compressor. Independent Dry and Wet controls allow for the blending between processed and dry signal offering a wide range tonal options.
