The EGO 76 is Brian Wampler’s tribute to the iconic studio compressor that has shaped the fabric of music for decades – the legendary 1176 Peak Limiter. The EGO 76 transcends the conventional role of a pedal compressor, moving beyond merely squishing your signal to significantly enriching your tone.
Each carefully designed element encapsulates the spirit of the iconic 1176 and brings a touch of that magic to your pedalboard.
Key Features
- Studio-Style Control – The EGO 76 is a full-featured compressor in a pedal format. Each control – Tone, Attack, Release, Level, Compress, and the Parallel Clean Blend – offers precise shaping of your tone and dynamics.
- Parallel Compression – Level and sweeten parts of your tone without sacrificing dynamics, allowing you to seamlessly blend your original tone back in.
The 1176 Peak Limiter
The 1176 Peak Limiter, a studio mainstay since its introduction in 1967, marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of studio gear. As the first solid-state peak limiter on the market, its FET-based circuitry endowed it with a distinctive "enhanced" sound, particularly when pushed to its limits in "British Mode."
Studio-Style Control
The Tone control adds just the right amount of brightness to capture the 1176’s famed energy, while the Attack and Release knobs give you command over crucial compression parameters, usually only found in studio gear.
Parallel Compression
The Parallel Clean Blend control adds a layer of versatility to the EGO 76, a feature derived from classic studio techniques.
The EGO 76 is a sonic experience from the heart of iconic studio recording history. With its roots in the 1176’s legacy, once you plug the EGO 76 in, you may find it difficult to turn it off. It will become an integral part of your musical expression and a direct connection to the timeless magic of the 1176 Peak Limiter.
