The WA76-D2 accurately reproduces 2-channels of one of the fastest and most loved studio compressors of all time known for its generous headroom, ultra-fast dynamic control, and rich analog tone. Using premium and custom components like O-12 (input) and 5002 (output) transformers from CineMag, WA76-D2 achieves authentic 76 rev D style compression, known for “low noise” preamp stage with unmistakably analog character. Added modern controls to achieve parallel compression, active & true-bypass, and variable sidechain filtering flexibility make WA76-D2 an ideal choice for modern recording workflows that require vintage tone shaping. WA76-D2 recreates the legendary tone & control of the vintage 76-style compression used in studios by artists like Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, Daft Punk, and many more.
