There’s a reason you’ll find at least one Distressor in almost every major recording studio worldwide. The DistressorX (EL8-X) is the Swiss Army knife of dynamic processing, offering a massive palette of sonic textures—from pristine leveling to gritty, industrial saturation.

Beyond Compression: A Harmonic Powerhouse

The DistressorX is famous for its "Distortion" modes. By engaging Dist 2 (Tube) or Dist 3 (Tape), you add musical harmonics that breathe life into "cold" digital tracks. It doesn’t just control peaks; it enhances the very soul of your audio.

The "X" Advantage: British Mode & Image Link

This enhanced version of the original EL8 adds the legendary British Mode. With the flick of a switch, you get the aggressive, over-the-top character of a vintage FET limiter on any ratio. Additionally, the Stereo Image Link provides superior phase coherence, making it the ultimate choice for stereo pairs.

Why Engineers Love It:

  • 8 Distinct Curves: Includes the famous "Nuke" mode for room mics and the "Opto" setting for silky-smooth vocals.

  • Advanced Detection: Switchable High-Pass and Mid-Band emphasis filters in the detector circuit prevent unwanted pumping.

  • Built to Last: Every unit is hand-tested in the USA to ensure professional-grade reliability and low-noise performance.

  • Easy Recall: Large, high-resolution knobs allow you to document and dial back your "magic settings" in seconds.

Upgrade your rack today. The DistressorX is more than a purchase; it's an investment in the signature sound of professional records.
