RECREATING A CLASSIC STUDIO COMPRESSOR FOR YOUR PEDALBOARD
The Pedal76 faithfully reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time, known for its lightning-fast attack and release times as well as the analog warmth it brings to any source. Just like in the studio, the Pedal76 features Attack & Release, Ratio, and Input controls—essential for taming unwanted volume fluctuations on stage. Backed by over 10 years of expertise in designing high-end studio compressors, awarded with the Warm Audio WA76, the Pedal76 is capable of covering a wide range of legendary compression, from subtle to hard limiting, as favored by iconic artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Periphery, and Jack White.
STUDIO-QUALITY SOUND, STAGE-READY CONTROLS
To achieve authentic '76-style FET compression, the Pedal76 is built with an all-analog circuit and premium components, including a custom CineMag USA transformer. Specified to replicate the professional performance of studio units, this transformer adds increased harmonic richness and, in high-gain mode, a slight audible saturation reminiscent of the most sought-after vintage compressors. The Pedal76 offers features designed for the stage, such as an external true/buffered bypass switch for seamless integration into your rig. Additional options—input sensitivity, ground/lift, pad, and high/low gain modes (for DI use)—provide great versatility both live and in the studio. The separate DI output also allows you to send a balanced signal directly to a mixing console or a live recording system.
