The Warm Audio WA76 is a faithful, fully-discrete take on the legendary 1176 FET compressor, the one that has slammed drums, vocals and bass on countless hit records. Lightning-fast attack, that aggressive all-buttons-in mode, and a big VU meter to watch it work. Modern build, classic attitude, a fraction of the price of an original.
