The WA76-D and WA76-D2 are faithful recreations of the vintage 76 “Revision-D-style” FET studio compressor, with a true-to-original circuit design that delivers the lauded “D-style”compression known for its speed, lower noise, and rich analog tone. Just like in the classic 76-style compressors from revision “A” to D”, the WA76-D and WA76-D2 use custom large-core, CineMag USA input & output transformers. These transformers use the exact same spec data and materials used by Reichenbach Engineering in the original vintage designs known for delivering unmistakable analog tone to any signal chain. WA76-D & WA76-D2 use premium ceramic & electrolytic capacitors, metal film resistors, and a revised preamp stage, improving the linear response of the FET. These key components complete a circuit that cuts no corners in delivering an authentic “cleaner, low noise” 76-style compression experience.
The WA76-A and WA76-A2 are faithful recreations of the vintage 76 “blue stripe”-style FET studio compression known for its extra “grabby” fast attack and vintage analog grit. Just like in the vintage “Blue Stripe” 76-style compressors from revision “A” to D”, the WA76-A and WA76-A2 use custom large-core, CineMag USA input & output transformers. These transformers also use the exact same spec data and materials used by Reichenbach Engineering to accurately deliver the vintage-voiced tone of this classic original. The WA76-A and WA76-A2 use premium poly film capacitors, carbon resistors, and a vintage-voiced preamp stage. These key components complete a circuit that delivers an authentic vintage 76-style “blue stripe”-style compression experience. |
