The Ego 76 doesn’t squash your signal, it enhanced it!
The Ego 76 is Brian Wampler’s tribute to the iconic studio compressor that shaped the fabric of music for decades: the legendary 1176 Peak Limiter.
This compressor pedal takes you on a journey into the soul of timeless studio sounds.
The Ego 76 transcends the conventional role of a pedal compressor, moving beyond merely squishing your signal to significantly enriching your tone.
Fueled by FET-based technology, Wampler gave the Ego 76 studio-like Attack and Release controls, a Parallel Clean Blend knob, and a meticulously tuned Tone knob.
Each carefully designed element encapsulates the spirit of the iconic 1176 and brings a touch of that magic to your pedalboard!
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.
The Ego 76 reproduces that magical foundational sound and goes further by delivering brilliance to your guitar tones.
It is Brian’s boutique nod of appreciation to the iconic compressor sounds that have withstood the test of time.
Parallel Compression.
The Parallel Clean Blend control adds a layer of versatility to the Ego 76, a feature derived from classic studio techniques.
This technique is often employed to maintain control over levels and sweeten parts without sacrificing dynamics, allowing you to seamlessly blend your original tone back in.
The result is a perfect equilibrium between compression and the natural voice of your guitar!
