Warm AudioWA76-D Clean Gain Compressor

Warm Audio WA76-D

Dial in the snappy response and velvety warmth of one of the most influential compressors ever made with the WA76-D from Warm Audio, a single-channel clean gain compressor that faithfully recreates the beloved Rev-D 1176 compressor. The Rev-D is considered by many to be the ultimate 1176, with noise reduction tweaks that provide the same fast response and rich analog color while maintaining an even and balanced tone. Warm Audio has gone to great lengths to build the WA76-D with custom CineMag transformers and high-quality discrete components to deliver the authentic sound that studios have revered for decades.

All the classic controls you'd expect on a 76-style compressor are here in the WA76-D, along with a number of modern additions to integrate seamlessly with your studio workflow. Adjust attack, release, input and output gain, and ratio, using the vintage style VU meter to keep tabs on your dynamic contour. New to the WA76-D are a dry/wet mix for parallel compression, an external sidechain, a sidechain high pass filter to control rumble, and more.

The Rev-D is one of the most revered compressor circuits of all time, used by studio greats like Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Daft Punk, and many more. The WA76-D from Warm Audio makes this sought-after sound more accessible than ever, built to inspire a new generation of producers, artists, and engineers.
