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 Orange Kongpressor is an analog Class A VCA compressor from Orange Amplification (London, UK), delivering clean, studio-grade compression with Gain, Blend, Release, and Ratio controls in the Orange compact format. Class A circuitry provides natural, musical compression character at Orange UK quality for professional studio and live use.
