More Info

The WA76-A brings the legendary "blue stripe" compression sound that shaped countless classic recordings straight to your studio rack. This meticulously crafted compressor faithfully recreates one of the fastest and most powerful studio dynamics processors ever made, renowned for its distinctively grabby attack characteristics and robust dynamic control capabilities.

Built with premium CineMag transformers including the O-12 input and 5002 output models, the WA76-A captures that authentic vintage analog grit and unmistakable preamp character that defined the original 76-style units. The same compression sound that graced recordings by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Jack White is now accessible with modern studio convenience.

Contemporary features including parallel compression controls, active and true bypass switching, selectable input impedance options, and flexible sidechain connectivity make the WA76-A perfectly suited for today’s recording workflows. These thoughtful additions allow you to harness classic vintage tone shaping while maintaining the flexibility required for modern production techniques.
