Wampler Ego 76 Compressor

Wampler Ego 76 Compressor is a compact compressor pedal based on the iconic and legendary 1176 Peak Limiter studiocompressor. This pedal takes you on a journey into the soul of timeless studio sounds and  significantly enriches your tone.

Fueled by FET-based (field-effect transistor) technology, Wampler gave the EGO 76 studio-like Attack and Release controls, a Parallel Clean Blend knob, and a meticulously tuned Tone knob. The compressor reproduces that magical foundational sound and goes further by delivering brilliance to your guitar tones.

Each control – Tone, Attack, Release, Level, Compress, and the Parallel Clean Blend – offers precise shaping of your tone and dynamics. 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.

The Parallel Clean Blend control adds a layer of versatility, 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.

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
