With its design inspired by these vintage modules, the WT-72 captures the essence of their sound while offering enhanced functionality. While the original modules provided 34dB of gain, the WT-72 takes it a step further with an additional 22dB of gain, achieved through careful circuit adjustments that preserve the beloved sound and character.\u003cbr\u003eTo deliver performance and character reminiscent of its vintage inspiration, the WT-72 incorporates custom input and output transformers, as well as an output plate choke. These components play a crucial role in shaping the overall sound and ensuring a faithful representation of the original design.\u003cbr\u003eStaying true to the all-tube tradition, the WT-72 maintains an authentic vintage design by utilizing both AC and DC voltage feedback. This approach not only provides the appropriate gain but also ensures the necessary stability for optimal performance.\u003cbr\u003eA distinctive feature of the WT-72 is its silent gain-switching mechanism. Traditional DC feedback switching can introduce loud thumps, risking monitors and hearing. To address this, the WT-72 employs a special muting system that briefly silences the output during each gain-switching step. This eliminates loud transients and allows the tubes to settle before the output is re-engaged, providing a smoother and more user-friendly experience.\u003cbr\u003eThe WT-72 incorporates a hybrid switching system that combines an 11-position rotary switch with mechanical and photo relays. This design allows for flexible control over the amount of gain, offering versatility to suit various recording scenarios. The gain knob settings on the WT-72 are divided into two sections. The 36dB range is achieved by attenuating the signal to the first EF86 tube, while the remaining 20dB of gain (36-56dB) is switched by altering AC and DC feedback. This approach minimizes noise at lower gain levels, providing a cleaner signal. For example, at 36dB of gain, you can expect 20dB less noise compared to 56dB of gain. The WT-72 strikes a balance between gain flexibility and optimal noise performance by leveraging attenuation before gain stages.\u003cbr\u003eTransformers play a vital role in shaping the sound of the WT-72. With transformer-balanced input and output, the unit preserves the character and qualities of the original design.\u003cbr\u003eIn terms of circuitry, the audio signal passes through two EF86 tubes, providing a total of 56dB of gain. The signal path remains purely tube-based, with no solid-state components in the chain, ensuring a true vintage tube sound.\u003cbr\u003eTo accommodate line-level signals, the XLR IN switch features a \"Line\" option. When selected, a 36dB pad is applied before the input transformer, allowing for seamless integration of line-level sources.\u003cbr\u003eIn summary, the WT-72 pays homage to the iconic V72 modules while introducing enhancements and features for modern recording needs. With its attention to detail, silent gain switching, all-tube design, and thoughtful gain control, the WT-72 offers flexibility, vintage character, and improved performance for capturing and shaping audio signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMic\/Line input (XLR) and high impedance DI\u003cbr\u003eDI disables XLR input when plugged in\u003cbr\u003eTwo EF86 equivalent tubes\u003cbr\u003e56dB of gain\u003cbr\u003e11 position gain rotary selector\u003cbr\u003ePolarity reverse switch\u003cbr\u003e36 dB pad switch (line select)\u003cbr\u003e48 volt phantom power switch\u003cbr\u003eXLR Input and Output connections\u003cbr\u003eAmerican made input and output transformers and plate choke\u003cbr\u003eWhite LED indicators for phantom, power and output present (-12dBu minimum for illumination)\u003cbr\u003eHand built in the USA\u003cbr\u003e115V\/230V AC mains option on rear\u003cbr\u003eInternal power supply\u003cbr\u003e2 year warranty on parts and labor\u003cbr\u003eInput load impedance in mic mode: ca. 4kΩ\u003cbr\u003eInput load impedance in line mode: 9550 Ω\u003cbr\u003eOutput impedance: \u0026lt; 100Ω\u003cbr\u003e1\/4\" DI impedance: 500 kΩ\u003cbr\u003e56dB of gain\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz\u003cbr\u003eMaximum output level: +24dBu\u003cbr\u003eTHD+N: \u0026lt;1%\u003cbr\u003eS\/N Ratio: \u0026gt;70dB\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 19\" w x 3.5\" h x 10\" d (2u rack space)\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 15 lbs.\u003cbr\u003ePower Consumption (120\/240VAC): 25 watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weight Tank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993211035981,"sku":"WT72","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/183858-large_default.jpg?v=1779915065"},{"product_id":"weight-tank-wt-comp","title":"Weight Tank WT-COMP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weight Tank Compressor, or WT-COMP, is a versatile audio processing tool that combines compression and boosting capabilities with unique characteristics such as weight, harmonics, and character. It is designed to leave a distinctive mark on any material passing through its circuitry, delivering a smooth and euphonic sound through its soft-knee vari-mu compression and rich, vibrant harmonic saturation.\u003cbr\u003eKey components of the WT-COMP include three all-steel transformers that contribute to the unit's large, thick, and colorful results. These transformers play a crucial role in shaping the sound, adding a unique sonic character to the processed audio.\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain warmth and desired tonal characteristics, the audio signal passes through two vacuum tubes within the WT-COMP. This tube circuitry imparts a soft, pleasing warmth to the sound, enhancing its overall quality.\u003cbr\u003eThe WT-COMP features custom metering with a backlit meter that accurately displays the amount of gain reduction being applied to the signal. This visual feedback allows for precise monitoring and control over compression levels.\u003cbr\u003eWith variable attack and release times, the WT-COMP provides great flexibility in shaping the dynamics of the audio. The user can adjust the attack and release parameters to control how quickly or slowly the compressor responds to changes in the input signal, allowing for fine-tuning of the compression effect.\u003cbr\u003eThe WT-COMP introduces two distinct modes: \"Round\" and \"Drive.\" In \"Round\" mode, the compressor provides a smooth, sweet, and pure tone, emphasizing transparency and clarity. On the other hand, when switching to \"Drive\" mode, the compressor enhances the harmonic structure of the audio, resulting in a more driven and saturated tone. This mode adds an extra layer of richness and character to the processed sound.\u003cbr\u003eIn summary, the Weight Tank Compressor, or WT-COMP, is a powerful audio processing tool that combines compression and boosting capabilities with unique tonal characteristics.
