Classic Studio Compression Recreated for Your Pedalboard
The Pedal76 faithfully reproduces one of the fastest and most powerful studio compressors of all time, renowned for its exceptional Attack & Release speeds, delivering sweet analog tone to any source. Just like in the studio, the Pedal76 features controls for Attack & Release, Ratio, and Input—critical for controlling unwanted intensity changes on stage. With over 10 years of experience providing premium, award-winning studio compressors like the Warm Audio WA76, the Pedal76 can deliver the wide range of legendary compression tones favored by artists like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Periphery, Jack White, and many others.
Studio-Quality Sound, Stage-Ready
To achieve authentic Type 76 FET compression, the Pedal76 is built with a fully analog circuit and premium components, including a custom CineMag USA transformer. Engineered to replicate the professional performance of studio equipment, this transformer adds rich harmonic content and, at high gain settings, subtle distortion reminiscent of the most sought-after vintage studio sounds. The Pedal76 features stage-ready controls, including an external footswitch for true/buffered bypass, ensuring your compressor works seamlessly in your setup. Input sensitivity switches, ground lift, pad, and high/low gain functions (including DI mode operation) provide additional flexibility for live or studio use. A dedicated DI output also sends a balanced signal to any mixer or live recording rig.
