Authentic 76-Style Compression for Stage Performance
The Warm Audio Pedal76 is an expertly crafted compressor pedal that brings the powerful dynamics control of classic 76-style FET studio compressors directly to your stage rig. Known for its ultra-responsive behavior and rich analog tone, the Pedal76 is built with premium components and custom parts to faithfully replicate the performance of iconic studio units. Whether you're a guitarist, bassist, or keyboardist, this pedal ensures that your dynamics are perfectly controlled without sacrificing the natural character of your instrument, delivering a pristine studio sound every time you perform live.

Studio-Grade Dynamic Control on Your Pedalboard
Designed to replicate the same legendary compression used in professional studios, the Pedal76 provides the dynamic control that artists like Jack White, John Mayer, and Led Zeppelin have relied on for decades. The FET circuit adds a touch of harmonic depth, while the custom transformer ensures that your tone remains rich and full. This makes the Pedal76 not just a tool for controlling dynamics, but an essential part of achieving a polished, professional sound on stage. It’s the ideal choice for musicians who demand studio-quality compression in a rugged, gig-ready format.

Critical Controls for Perfect Dynamic Shaping
The Pedal76 is equipped with essential controls that are critical for managing volume changes during live performances. With Attack and Release settings, you can precisely determine how quickly the compressor responds to your playing. The Ratio control allows you to adjust the intensity of the compression, while the Input and Output controls let you dial in the perfect amount of raw signal and makeup gain. These features give you total command over your sound, ensuring that your tone remains consistent and controlled, no matter how hard you play.

Built with Premium Components for Superior Sound
To achieve authentic 76-style compression, the Pedal76 uses only the finest components. The custom CineMag transformer is specifically designed to replicate the professional performance and tonal characteristics of the original studio units. Premium capacitors, resistors, and transistors are carefully selected to ensure that every aspect of the pedal’s performance meets the highest standards. This commitment to quality means that the Pedal76 doesn’t just sound great—it delivers the same level of performance that professionals expect from a high-end studio compressor.

Optimized Features for Live and Studio Use
The Pedal76 is not just for live performance—it’s also packed with features that make it a versatile tool in the studio. An external switch allows for true or buffered bypass operation, depending on your rig’s needs. Additional switches for input sensitivity, ground/lift, pad engagement, and high/low gain modes (suitable for DI operation) provide extra flexibility. The separate balanced (DI) output ensures that your signal is properly routed to a mixer or recording rig, with the option to add grit and transformer tone using the high gain mode. These features make the Pedal76 a powerful and adaptable tool for any setting.
