The Warm Audio WA76-D/D2 Channel Discrete FET Compressor/Limiting Amplifier captures the legendary speed, precision, and punch of the classic “Rev D” 76 compressor — a studio icon that shaped the sound of modern music. Designed for professional engineers and modern creators alike, the WA76-D/D2 brings that unmistakable analog feel to every mix and master, from silky vocals to thunderous drums and tight, polished guitars. Powered by custom CineMag USA transformers and true-to-spec analog circuitry, the WA76-D/D2 delivers transparent compression and harmonic color that instantly elevate recordings. It embodies everything engineers love about the original design — ultra-fast attack times, smooth release, and bold analog tone — while adding modern flexibility and workflow enhancements for today’s hybrid studios. The WA76-D/D2 introduces advanced features such as a dry/wet blend knob for parallel compression, sidechain high-pass filtering for low-frequency control, dual active bypass options for tube-like coloration, and selectable input impedance to integrate seamlessly with digital gear. Stereo linking options include dual-mono, stereo, and lead-follow modes, giving engineers the power to shape mixes with surgical precision or analog glue. Handwired and assembled with premium components and through-hole construction, the WA76-D/D2 is built to withstand years of studio use while maintaining sonic authenticity. Whether you’re chasing the tight, punchy compression heard on countless hit records or refining your modern mixes with rich analog depth, the Warm Audio WA76-D/D2 delivers the timeless “Rev D” sound — reborn for a new generation of recording professionals.

• Dual-Channel FET Compressor With Vintage Tone: The WA76-D/D2 recreates the fast, punchy character of the iconic “Rev D” 76 compressor, delivering tight, responsive dynamic control with rich analog warmth. Its dual-channel design enables stereo, dual-mono, or lead-follow operation, ideal for vocals, drums, guitars, bass, and mix bus applications needing precise compression.
• True-To-Spec Analog Circuitry And Components: Built with custom CineMag USA transformers — an O-12 input and 5002 output — the WA76-D/D2 authentically reproduces the tone and response of the original Revision D circuit. The all-discrete, fully analog signal path ensures transparent compression with harmonic saturation that adds depth, punch, and smooth musicality to any source.
• Modern Studio Enhancements For Versatility: In addition to vintage-style controls, the WA76-D/D2 features modern upgrades like a variable dry/wet blend control for parallel compression, dual active bypass modes for analog coloration, and a sidechain high-pass filter to prevent low-end pumping. Selectable input impedance ensures perfect pairing with today’s digital interfaces.
• Flexible Stereo And Dual-Mono Operation: Engineered for maximum studio flexibility, the WA76-D/D2 supports multiple stereo configurations. Use it as a linked stereo compressor for mix buses, dual-mono for independent control of two channels, or lead/follow mode where Channel A drives Channel B — perfect for mastering and high-end recording workflows.
• Handcrafted Quality And Professional Reliability: Each WA76-D/D2 is meticulously hand-assembled and tested by Warm Audio’s technicians in Austin, Texas. Built into a rugged 2U rackmount chassis with premium metal film resistors, capacitors, and through-hole components, it delivers unmatched reliability and authentic analog compression performance session after session.
