Warm Audio WA76

Accurate Reproduction Of The Most Powerful And Adaptable Studio Compressor / Limiting Amplifier Of All Time

The Timeless Sound Of Tight Compression
The WA76 accurately reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time known for ultra-responsive dynamic control with analog grit. Used heavily on vocals, drums, guitar, bass, and anything in the studio requiring tight dynamics, vintage originals can be heard on legendary recordings by artists like Sting, Jack White, John Mayer, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Timbaland, and many more.

Fast & Powerful With Unmistakable FET Grit
The original 76-style of compression is known for its versatility, speed, and rich harmonic distortion when driving the FETs & transformers. When a track requires strong dynamic control - whether it be from aggressive attack & release settings or driving the output into harmonic distortion using “All-buttons in” mode, the WA76 delivers the same legendary performance of vintage “Rev D” FET compressors.
