2-channel FET Limiting Amplifier with Discrete, All-analog Circuitry, CineMag Transformers, and Sidechain HPF

The Warm Audio WA76-A2 nails the performance, behavior, and vintage analog sound of the renowned “Blue Stripe” ’76 — the A revision of the most famous solid-state limiting amplifier ever made. Like the revered classic, each channel of the Warm Audio WA76-A2 features a completely discrete signal path and the same controls. And yes — it replicates the original’s explosive performance when all the ratio buttons are pressed in. But the WA76-A2 is much more than a clone; its added recording features make it a versatile compressor/limiter for modern studio workflows. Warm Audio doesn’t cut corners on components, but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. The WA76-A2 is assembled with top-drawer components, including premium resistors and poly film capacitors, as well as custom original-spec, large-core CineMag USA input and output transformers. And like all Warm Audio gear, the WA76-A2 is rigorously inspected and hand tested by experienced technicians in Austin, Texas.

Absolutely Phenomenal

By Hunter from Nashville
Music Background: Synch, Score and Studio work. Touring Guitarist.

I do a lot of score and synch work. I've been fortunate to write and record music for major brands and feature films. I've also had opportunity of recording through some truly "unobtanium" vintage gear, consistently in my career. Including original Urei 1176's. This new warm unit delivers every tonal character, response and compression that I look for in this style compressor. In fact, I was blown away by the tone the first moment I plugged it in. I find myself running sounds through it in "soft" bypass mode just to get some of the coloration of the transformers and circuit. Everything just sounds better in the signal chain, even if it's not doing any compression. Warm Audio have exceeded in this build. It punches way above its weight class in every example I've thrown at it.
