With over two years of meticulous development and testing, DocDerr delivers an unprecedented combination of power and musicality in a compact, easy-to-use format. Empirical Labs' first compressor in the API 500 format. DocDerr's versatile EQ, low-noise preamp, and unique dynamic section let you shape the tone of any track in any situation. Whether on the road, in the studio or in your guitar rig, DocDerr has you covered! The 500 Series format allows for any tricky situation and can clean up any thin guitar sounds or excessive vocal chains.


Multifunctional Tone Module

An extremely low-noise preamp, capable of handling line or instrument level signals, is followed by four EQ sections 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 transform DocDerr into an unparalleled instrument preamp with 16dB of gain, ideal for acoustic guitar, bass, synths, exotic plucked instruments, etc.

The versatile equalizer is followed by a unique dynamic section that offers renowned Empirical Labs compression at an unprecedented price and an extremely musical tape emulation circuit that smooths and tames high frequencies and transient peaks. We believe it is the best single-button “knee” compression available in this format.

One of the main features of DocDerr is the “Mix” button that allows the user to combine the uncompressed EQ signal with the compressed and saturated signal. This parallel compression technique, used by top recording and mixing engineers for many years, opens up a whole world of sonic possibilities.

Specifications

  • Frequency response – 3 Hz to 180 kHz in the eq section (-3dB points).
  • Dynamic range – 120 dB from maximum output (0.5% THD soft clipping) to minimum output. The noise level with Mix at 0 is normally – 91dBu.
  • Distortion – between 0.0006% and 10% at 1KHz, depending on mode and settings.
  • I/O – Maximum input before hard clipping – +22dBm, “Line In” mode. Maximum Output (Mix at 0) – +28.5dBm
  • Impedance - 120k Ohm, Instrument In mode, output impedance is less than 75 ohms. 20K input impedance in balanced Line in mode.
  • Compressor time constants – Attack time is about 1mS. 0.2 sec release, internally corrected. Stereo Linkable to stereo tracks. With the EL500 powered rack, the push of a button allows linking.
