WARM AUDIO / Pedal76

Pedal76 is an accurate recreation of one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time, known for its responsive dynamic control and rich analog tones. For guitar and bass performances, the FET circuit's deep sound and gig-compatible controls reproduce the sound of a recording studio on stage.

■Main features
1. Reproducing the original 76 style studio compression on stage
The original 76 style FET studio compressor that has been used on countless guitar, bass and keyboard recordings. Control dynamics without sacrificing its individuality. A perfect fusion of the depth of harmonics produced by the FET circuit and the rich tone produced by the custom transformer. The ultimate compressor for guitar and bass players looking for true-to-life studio sound on stage.

2. Equipped with studio compressor controls.
Like a regular studio compressor, it features attack, release, ratio, input, and output controls to reduce unwanted volume changes on stage. Attack and release adjust the timing of compression, and ratio adjusts the strength of compression relative to the original sound. The input controls the amount of the original signal fed into the compressor circuit, and the output acts as a makeup gain/master volume, allowing Pedal76 to work smoothly with other gear and add boost as needed.

3. Manufactured using premium components carefully selected by Warm Audio, who knows everything about 76 style compressors.
We use custom-made premium components to achieve authentic 76-style FET compression. Custom CineMag transformers are designed to reproduce the professional performance and tone of your studio unit in a format that fits your pedalboard. We also use premium capacitors, resistors, and transistors to create a circuitry that doesn't compromise on delivering an authentic studio experience on stage.

4. Additional features optimized for live performance
You can switch between true bypass and buffered bypass using an external switch, making it easy to integrate with other equipment. Equipped with selector switches for input sensitivity, GND/lift, pad on/off, and high/low gain mode (for DI operation), making it more convenient for live performances and studios. A separate balanced output (DI) can send the perfect signal to your mixer or recording equipment, with high gain modes adding both grit and rich, saturated tones.

5. History of building 76 style premium compressors
Warm Audio has been manufacturing the WA76, a premium 76-style compressor, for over 10 years and has shipped over 20,000 units worldwide. With that experience, we know the necessary circuitry and desired tone of the most prized vintage 76 style compressors. That's why we can source custom CineMag transformers and premium components just like the Studio Rack 76.

6. Manual testing in Austin, Texas
Like all Warm Audio products, Pedal76 is meticulously hand tested and inspected at our Austin, Texas factory by trained technicians with a passion for music production.
