Getting Started
As a starting point for general enhancement, set EMPEROR's
500
INPUT knob
to 5 with Low Shelf engaged and FAST release time. Set DRY knob at 10 and
WET at 4. These settings offer good results under most conditions,
producing more presence with a warmer sound and enhanced detail
(especially with lower frequencies), while retaining the apparent
dynamic range of the original signal.
The most natural warmth and tube-style distortion can be obtained with
INPUT at 6, with MED release time, and both EQ shelves disengaged. Set DRY
at 10 and WET at 6.
More overdrive may be obtained by setting INPUT at 8 and with FAST release
time, also often with Low Shelf on. Set DRY controller at 10 and start to
increase WET output level until you achieve desired amount of
distortion.
For optimum results make sure the source signal is not clipped before it
reaches the EMPEROR's
500
input.
Set WET at 10 and DRY at 0 in order to hear the full effect of the
EMPEROR's
500
processing. Increase DRY when blending in the original
signal is desired.
