Warm Audio Pedal76 Class-A FET Compressor w/ Custom USA Transformer

The legendary studio compression sound that shaped countless iconic recordings is now available in a compact pedal format with the Pedal76. This remarkable compressor faithfully recreates one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors ever made, featuring ultra-fast attack and release capabilities that add sweet analogue tone to any source. With Attack & Release, Ratio, and Input controls at your fingertips, the Pedal76 provides essential volume control for stage performances while drawing from over 10 years of expertise behind the award-winning Warm Audio WA76.

Built around an all-analogue circuit with premium components, including a custom CineMag USA transformer, the Pedal76 achieves authentic 76-style FET compression that duplicates professional studio unit performance. This transformer adds rich harmonic content and, in high gain mode, delivers audible overdrive reminiscent of the most prized studio originals. The wide range of compression tones spans from subtle enhancement to hard-limiting effects favoured by celebrated artists including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Periphery, and Jack White.

Designed for both stage and studio applications, the Pedal76 includes gig-ready features such as an external switch for true/buffered bypass, ensuring seamless integration into any rig. Additional utility comes from switches for input sensitivity, ground/lift, pad and high/low gain modes optimised for DI operation. The separate DI output sends a balanced signal directly to mixers or live recording setups, making this compressor a versatile tool for modern musicians.
