Warm Audio WA76-P Pedal76 Analog FET Compressor and DI Pedal

Studio-grade 76-style compression does not have to stay in the rack. The Warm Audio WA76-P Pedal76 brings a 100% discrete analog FET compressor and DI to the pedalboard, with the same Input, Output, Ratio, Attack and Release controls found on the classic hardware, so guitarists, bassists and keyboard players can shape transients and sustain with real precision rather than a single squash knob.

Ratios run from 4:1 to 20:1, moving from gentle leveling to firm peak limiting, while attack from 20 to 800 microseconds and release from 50 to 1100 milliseconds cover everything from snappy funk rhythm to long singing leads. Selectable input sensitivity accommodates vintage single coils and hot active pickups alike, and a vintage-style amber VU meter shows gain reduction at a glance.

The DI side is built for stage and studio. When external power is connected, a custom CineMag USA output transformer engages on the balanced TRS output, adding harmonic character to the direct signal, with ground lift, an output pad and high/low DI gain for clean integration with mixers and interfaces. True or buffered bypass is selectable, and the pedal runs from an external supply or a 9V battery.
