More Info

The WA76-A2 brings the legendary "blue stripe" compression sound that shaped countless classic recordings straight to your studio. This 2-channel powerhouse faithfully recreates the fastest and most aggressive studio compressors ever made, featuring that distinctive "grabby" attack and powerful dynamic control that defined an era of music production.

Built with premium CineMag transformers - O-12 for input and 5002 for output - the WA76-A achieves authentic 76-style compression with all the gritty preamp character and unmistakable analogue warmth you'd expect. The vintage circuit design captures that coveted analogue grit that made these compressors studio legends.

Modern enhancements including parallel compression capabilities, active and true bypass options, selectable input impedance, and sidechain flexibility ensure the WA76-A2 fits seamlessly into contemporary recording workflows. This is the same legendary compression tone that artists like Jack White, The Beatles, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin relied on to create their iconic sounds, now available for today's producers and engineers.
