Description

The Electro-Harmonix M76 Studio Compressor is a studio-quality FET compressor pedal from Electro-Harmonix, inspired by the legendary UREI 1176 FET compressor. Controls include Attack, Release, Input, Output, and Ratio (4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1) mirroring the classic 1176 layout. The M76 brings UREI 1176-style aggressive FET compression to the pedalboard, delivering the punchy, fast-attack FET compression character that the 1176 is famous for in recording studios.

The Marshall ED-1 CompressoR is a compression pedal from Marshall Amplification (UK), delivering studio-grade VCA compression with Sustain, Tone, Level, and Attack controls for natural, musical dynamic control at Marshall amplification quality. The ED-1 provides transparent compression for enhancing guitar dynamics and sustain from the legendary UK amplification brand.
