The WA76-A/A2 faithfully recreates one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time, known for its ultra-responsive dynamic control with true analog grit, now with added modern recording features. Known for use on vocals, drums, guitar, bass and anything requiring tight dynamics in the studio, the vintage “Blue Stripe” 76 compressors are known for their versatility, speed and added harmonic analog tone to recordings. Just like the originals, the WA76-A and A2 deliver that classic performance heard on legendary recordings by artists like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Chris Stapleton, Chris Lord-Alge and many more.
