The Wampler Ego 76 Compressor is a pedal that pays homage to the iconic studio compressor, the legendary 1176 Peak Limiter.

1176 Peak Limiter Legacy:
- The 1176 Peak Limiter, introduced 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, especially when pushed to its limits in the all-buttons-in “British Mode”.
- The Ego 76 seeks to reproduce that magic – the same foundational sound, but enhanced, delivering more energy and brilliance to your guitar tones.
Studio-Style Control:
- The Ego 76 isn’t just about squashing your signal; it’s about enhancing it. Here are the key controls:
  - Compress: Adjusts the amount of compression applied to your signal, similar to the Ratio control on the original 1176. The sweet spot is typically between 9:00 and noon.
  - Attack: Controls how quickly compression is applied. Clockwise decreases the speed, allowing more transient through.
  - Release: Sets how long the compressor holds onto the compressed signal.
  - Tone: Adds just the right amount of brightness to capture the 1176’s famed energy.
  - Parallel Clean Blend: Blend your original uncompressed (dry) sound with the compressed signal, preserving attack and retaining low end.
- These controls transform the Ego 76 from just another part of your setup into an essential voice in your musical expression.
FET-Based Circuit:
- The Ego 76 utilizes FET-based (field-effect transistor) technology. While it isn’t transparent, it strikes a balance between coloration and transparency, adding character without overwhelming your tone.
- Brian Wampler, the pedal’s designer, intentionally avoided a direct clone of the 1176’s FET compression circuitry. Instead, he aimed to capture the nuances of studio preamps, consoles, and other hardware heard on recordings.
An Essential Voice:
- Once you plug in the Ego 76, it seamlessly becomes an integral part of your musical expression. It’s not just a compressor pedal; it’s an experience in the heart of iconic studio tones.
- Whether you’re chasing vintage vibes or exploring new sonic territories, the Ego 76 delivers timeless magic and elevates your sound.

The Wampler Ego 76 Compressor is more than gear; it’s a journey into the soul of timeless studio tones.
