The WA76-A2 combines classic 76-style compression with modern features like parallel compression, true bypass, selectable input impedance, and sidechain flexibility. Perfect for today’s recording needs, it recreates the legendary tone used by icons like Jack White, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin, offering both vintage character and contemporary control.
The WA76-A2 is a faithful recreation of the vintage 76 “blue stripe”-style 2-channel FET studio compressor with added features to meet modern recording workflows. Recreating the lauded original vintage “Blue Stripe” version of the 76 compressor known for its extra “grabby” fast attack and vintage analog grit, the WA76-A2 offers the ideal blend of vintage circuitry and modern controls to deliver ultimate flexibility without sacrificing vintage analog character.
WA76-A2 delivers vintage circuit design and has all of the traditional 76-style compression controls; attack, release, ratio, input, output, and meter display. In addition to the classic controls expected on a 76-style compressor, WA76-A2 is a stereo unit and has dry/wet mix for parallel compression, selectable input impedance, active & true-bypass, and variable sidechain high-pass filtering to tackle unruly bass that dominates the
Just like in the vintage 76-style compressors from revision “A” to D”, the WA76-A2 uses custom large-core, CineMag input & output transformers. The transformers inside the WA76-A2 use the exact same spec data and materials (nickel and steel) used by Reichenbach Engineering in the original vintage designs known for delivering vintage analog grit to any signal chain.
WA76-A2 uses premium poly film capacitors, carbon resistors, and a vintage-voiced preamp stage. These key components complete a circuit that cuts no corners in delivering an authentic vintage 76-style “blue stripe”-style compression experience.
Like all Warm Audio gear, WA76-A2 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.
