Vintage Studio Compression, Reimagined for Your Pedalboard
The Warm Audio Pedal76 brings the iconic sound of vintage studio FET compression to your feet. Inspired by the legendary 1176-style compressor, the Pedal76 delivers that fast, punchy response and unmistakable tonal character—now optimized for guitar and bass. Whether you’re after tight funk rhythm, sustain for soaring solos, or just want your tone to sit better in the mix, the Pedal76 has you covered with studio-grade quality and simple, intuitive controls.
Classic Compression with Modern Flexibility
The Pedal76 delivers the same larger-than-life dynamic control that made its rackmount ancestors famous. Built with premium components like USA-made Cinemag transformers, the pedal offers ultra-fast attack times, rich harmonic coloration, and headroom that holds up under any signal chain. With the familiar Input, Output, Attack, and Release controls, you can dial in everything from subtle glue to full-on squash, just like the pros have been doing in studios for decades.
All-Button Mode & True Bypass for Creative Tone Shaping
Just like the original, the Pedal76 features an “All-Buttons-In” mode—a classic trick that produces aggressive, explosive compression with increased harmonic distortion and unique character. This setting gives guitarists and bassists a bold way to push their tone without losing clarity. Plus, true bypass switching ensures your tone stays pristine when the pedal is off.
Built to Last and Gig-Ready
The Pedal76 doesn’t just sound like a studio unit—it’s built like one. Housed in a rugged metal chassis with vintage-style VU meter and LED-lit controls, it’s designed to handle the road as well as the studio. Whether you’re recording direct or taking it to the stage, this pedal is your ticket to studio-quality compression wherever you play.
