Kompressor limiter gate

The WA76-A is an analog FET compressor from Warm Audio.

The WA76-A faithfully reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors, renowned for its striking attack response, precise dynamics control and distinctive grain.

Using premium components such as CineMag O-12 (input) and 5002 (output) transformers, the WA76-A captures the essence of the “blue stripe” compression, renowned for its unmistakable analog grain of its preamp. Modern features have been added, including parallel compression, bypass, selectable input impedance and flexible side-chain options.

Ideal for adding a vintage touch to contemporary recordings, the WA76-A recreates the iconic sound of the studios frequented by Jack White, The Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and many others.
