{"product_id":"pedal-76","title":"Warm Audio Pedal 76","description":"Like the original 76-style studio compressor used on countless guitar, bass, and keyboard recordings, the Pedal76 controls dynamics without squashing character. The greater harmonic depth of the FET circuit and the rich tone preservation offered by the custom transformer combine perfectly to recreate the ultimate compressor for guitarists and bassists who want crystal-clear studio sound on stage.Critical studio compressor controlsLike studio compressors, the Pedal76 features Attack \u0026 Release, Ratio, and Input controls, essential for managing the dynamics of sounds on stage. Attack and Release control when the compression kicks in. The Ratio determines the \"strength\" of the compression relative to the signal. The Input control adjusts how much signal enters the compression circuit, while the Output acts as makeup gain to ensure the Pedal76 blends seamlessly into your setup or provides an additional boost, if needed.Premium components and construction from 76-style compression expertsThe Pedal76 uses premium, custom components to achieve authentic 76-style FET compression. The custom CineMag transformer is designed to duplicate the professional performance and tone of studio units in a pedalboard-friendly format. High-quality capacitors, resistors, and transistors complete a circuit that makes no compromises in delivering an authentic studio experience on stage.Additional features optimized for live performanceThe Pedal76 features an external switch for true or buffered bypass operation, ensuring the compressor blends seamlessly into your setup. The input sensitivity, ground\/lift, pad engagement, and high\/low gain mode switches (both for DI operation) are extremely useful both live and in the studio. The separate balanced output (DI) sends the correct signal to the mixer or live recording system, with the high-gain mode adding grit and the rich tone of the transformer.A history of building premium 76-style compressorsWarm Audio has been producing premium 76-style studio compressors, such as the WA76, for over 10 years. Having shipped over 20,000 studio units worldwide, Warm Audio brings extensive experience in building this circuit and a deep understanding of what fuels the sought-after tone of the most acclaimed vintage 76-style compressors. Just like the renowned WA76 studio unit, Warm Audio uses custom CineMag transformers and high-quality components to deliver studio compression in your pedalboard.Hand-tested in Austin, TXLike all Warm Audio gear, the Pedal76 is carefully tested and inspected by hand by expert technicians and music enthusiasts in Austin, TX, USA.Technical specificationsBalanced FET compressor pedal with fully analog transformerCustom CineMag USA output transformer (activated with external power)Classic 76-style compression controls: Ratio, Attack, Release, Output, and InputAdditional controls: Input sensitivity, Ground\/Lift, DI output pad, high\/low gain DI modes with level boost on balanced outputExternal True or Buffered Bypass switchVintage-style amber VU meter for gain reduction indicationUltra-low noise with 100% discrete analog signal pathExternal power supply with 9V battery compartment.
