Empirical Labs Distressor EL8-XXX – 30th Anniversary Edition
30th Anniversary Edition – EL8-XXX
This limited edition of the EL8 Distressor includes all of the upgraded features found on the EL8-X, including:
- Stereo Image Link
- Brit Mode
Additionally, it features the award-winning Triad HS-56 input transformer, renowned for adding clarity, depth, and size to audio material.
Besides enhancing saturation and tonal color, the transformer also reduces the input impedance to 600 Ohms.
The EL8-XXX also incorporates specially selected discrete components, allowing it to saturate earlier than the classic EL8 Distressor.
