Empirical Labs DerrEsser
"The DerrEsser is a multi function dynamic filtering device, in an API 500 series module format. In its basic "DS" mode, the DerrEsser is an effective level insensitive de-esser which is a device that will adjust the high frequency gain on overly trebly or spiky vocal, or other source. By using a crossover technique, and dividing the audio up into a high frequency range and a low frequency range, the DerrEsser can use its Voltage Controlled Amp to turn down comparatively high or harsh high frequencies in an extremely musical manner. However, unlike other de-essers, the device is not limited to just de-essing, and allows for multi use of its circuitry...."
