The WA76-D/D2 faithfully recreates one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time known for ultra-responsive dynamic control with rich analog tone, now with additional modern recording features. WA76-D & WA76-D2 Discrete FET 1176-Style Single and Dual-Channel Studio Compressors Based On UREI/Universal Audio 1176 Compressor Known for use on vocals, drums, guitar, bass, and anything in the studio requiring tight dynamics, the vintage “Rev D-Style” 76 compressors are known for their versatility, speed, and harmonic analog tone added to recordings.

Just like the originals, the WA76-D and D2 deliver that classic performance that can be heard on legendary recordings by artists like Missy Elliott, Daft Punk, Timbaland, Rick Rubin, Chris Lord-Alge and many more. Using premium and custom components like built-to-vintage-spec O-12 (input) and 5002 (output) transformers from CineMag, WA76-D/D2 achieves authentic “Revision D” compression, known for having a “lower noise” preamp stage with the ability to both compress transparently and also impart unmistakably analog character.
