Warm Audio WA76 Compressor

The WA76 Discrete Compressor stands as a modern replication of the revered Classic '76 Revision D. Maintaining a fully discrete signal path, it incorporates the original Reichenbach Engineering's (now CineMag) transformer design.

Renowned for its breakthrough in limiter technology, the classic '76 has graced countless hit records since its inception. Engineers have long coveted its ultra-fast attack time and distinctive sound, and now it's finally within reach!

The meticulous reproduction faithfully captures the circuitry of the revision D, widely regarded as one of the best and most favored among the various versions produced over the years. Utilizing all discrete, through-hole components, premium CineMag input and output transformers, and a class A circuit, the WA76 stays true to the legacy design.
