{"product_id":"empirical-labs-el-docderr","title":"Empirical Labs EL DocDerr","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the newer members of the Empirical Labs family is the DocDerr, a 500 series multi-purpose tone enhancement module that houses six different sections of digitally controlled analog processing.  With 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.\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 unparralled instrument preamp with 16dB of gain, ideal for acoustic guitar, bass, synths, exotic plucked instruments, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\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.
