“The Arousor is a compressor plugin without equal! Instantly exciting and instantly musical. There’s no turning back!” – Greg Wells. The Arousor is the only classic knee compressor plugin made by the creators of the Distressor, Empirical Labs. It’s been well over 20 years since Empirical Labs released its first compressor, the Distressor. The Arousor’s price tag is on the high side for single plug-ins. Empirical Labs is unapologetic about this, considering how much time, money, and design work went into this plug-in. Empirical Labs is going to expand its plug-in offerings in the future and is 100% committed to the Arousor for the long haul, with regular updates and new features added regularly for registered users.

Empirical Labs Arousor
The Arousor™ is the only Distressor plugin made by the makers of the Distressor themselves, Empirical Labs Inc. It’s been well over 20 years since Empirical Labs released its first compressor, The Distressor. From those early days on, Empirical Labs has been bombarded with requests for a great compressor plugin for those working in the box… and it had to be one with the creamy sound and ease-of-use of our own award winning hardware compressors. We are sure you will find the 20+ year wait worth it!
