Warm Audio WA76-A Dual compresseur FET

Informations

Imagine a compressor with the softest knee and the most subtle of attack and release characters. Imagine a compressor that dons a pair of soft, velvet gloves and gently massages and moulds the input before spooning out the perfect output. The Warm Audio WA76-A Dual does exactly that - and gives you not one, but two channels of it. A faithful replica of the Blue Stripe, this unit has been designed to mimic the same irresistibly creamy and rich compression, but it comes with some extras. Stick stereo recordings of drums through this dual compressor and watch them explode; stick a piano through them and see it magnified to absurd proportions; and stick those raw-sounding guitars through them and watch as they're pushed to the fore.

The Warm Audio WA76-A Dual: A Modern Classic

This might actually be too much of a good thing, since the WA76-A Dual doesn't just deliver the throwback charm but the modern convenience. Using the side-chain filter, the compression can be trained to respond less heavily to lower frequencies, giving you way more control over the chaos and retaining the bottom end. Using the mix control knob, the processed signal can be blended with the unprocessed signal, so you can keep all of the smack and grit of the original signal while pulling back on the intensity.
