Classic studio compression recreated for the stage
The Warm Audio Pedal76 Transformer-Balanced FET Compressor Pedal captures the essence of the iconic 76-style studio compressor, renowned for its use on countless guitar, bass, and keyboard recordings. This pedal brings that same level of dynamic control and tonal richness to live performances. With its all-analog design and custom CineMag transformer, the Pedal76 ensures that every note maintains its character and depth, providing musicians with a powerful tool to manage their sound on stage.
Critical studio compressor controls
The Pedal76 offers a suite of controls that are essential for precise dynamic management, similar to those found on professional studio compressors. The attack and release controls determine when the compression kicks in and how quickly it fades, while the ratio control adjusts the intensity of the compression. The input control manages the amount of raw signal entering the compression circuit, and the output control serves as a makeup gain, ensuring seamless integration with your rig. These features allow musicians to tailor their sound with exceptional accuracy.
Premium components & build quality
Constructed with top-tier components, the Pedal76 is designed to deliver authentic 76-style FET compression. The custom CineMag transformer, along with premium capacitors, resistors, and transistors, ensures superior performance and tonal fidelity. This meticulous attention to detail results in a compressor pedal that not only replicates the revered studio sound but also stands up to the rigours of live performance. Each unit is hand-tested in Austin, TX, guaranteeing the highest quality and reliability.
Optimized for live performance
The Pedal76 is equipped with features specifically tailored for live use, including an external switch for true and buffered bypass operation. Additional switches for input sensitivity, ground/lift, pad engagement, and high/low gain modes enhance its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of performance scenarios. The balanced DI output ensures proper signal transmission to mixers or recording rigs, and the high gain mode adds a touch of grit and rich transformer tone. These enhancements make the Pedal76 an invaluable asset for any gigging musician seeking studio-quality compression on stage.
