WARM AUDIO Pedal 76

Description

Like the original 76-style studio compressor used in countless guitar, bass, and keyboard recordings, the Pedal76 controls dynamics without squashing character. The FET circuit’s added harmonic depth and custom transformer’s preservation of rich tone combine perfectly to recreate the ultimate compressor for guitarists and bassists who want crystal-clear studio sound on stage.Critical Studio Compressor ControlsLike studio compressors, the Pedal76 features controls for Attack & Release, Ratio, and Input, which are essential for managing dynamics on stage. Attack and Release adjust when the compression kicks in. Ratio determines the "strength" of the compression relative to the signal. The Input control adjusts how much signal goes into the compression circuit, while Output acts as compensation to ensure the Pedal76 seamlessly integrates into your setup or provides an additional boost if needed.Premium Components and Construction from 76-Style Compression ExpertsThe Pedal76 uses premium and custom components to achieve authentic 76-style FET compression. The custom CineMag transformer is designed to duplicate the performance and professional tone of studio units in a pedalboard-friendly format. High-quality capacitors, resistors, and transistors complete a circuit that makes no compromises in delivering an authentic studio experience on stage.Additional Features Optimized for Live PerformancesThe Pedal76 features an external switch for true or buffered bypass operation, ensuring the compressor integrates seamlessly into your setup. Input sensitivity, ground/lift, pad activation, and high/low gain modes (both for DI operation) switches are extremely useful both live and in the studio. The separate balanced output (DI) sends the correct signal to the mixer or live recording system, with the high gain mode adding grit and rich transformer tone.A History in Building Premium 76-Style CompressorsWarm Audio has been producing premium 76-style studio compressors, like the WA76, for over 10 years. Having shipped over 20,000 studio units worldwide, Warm Audio brings extensive experience in building this circuit and a deep understanding of what fuels the sought-after tone of the most cherished vintage 76-style compressors. Just like the renowned studio WA76, Warm Audio uses custom CineMag transformers and high-quality components to deliver studio-grade compression on your pedalboard.Hand Tested in Austin, TXLike all Warm Audio gear, the Pedal76 is carefully tested and hand-inspected by experienced engineers and music lovers in Austin, TX, USA.Technical SpecificationsFully Analog Transformer-Balanced FET Compressor PedalCustom CineMag USA Output Transformer (Activated with external power)Classic 76-Style Compression Controls: Ratio, Attack, Release, Output & InputAdditional Controls: Input Sensitivity, Ground/Lift, DI Output Pad, High/Low Gain DI Modes with Level Boost on Balanced OutputExternal True or Buffered Bypass SwitchAmber Vintage-Style VU Meter for Gain Reduction IndicationUltra-Low Noise with 100% Discrete Analog Signal PathExternal Power Supply with 9V Battery Compartment.
