WesAudio ng76 – Next generation FET compressor with digital recall

Founded in 2010, Wes Audio’s first product was the Beta76 compressor, an enhanced homage to the UREI 1176 FET compressor. There are plenty of such devices around now, but Wes have come a long way since then. These days, they are best known for their Next Generation (ng) range of digitally controlled analogue outboard, with various offerings for the 19‑inch rackmount and 500‑series formats. Recently, they released the ng76 and, as the name implies, this 19‑inch rackmount device is a FET compressor. Like other products in the range it not only features DAW integration, recall and remote parameter control via a plug‑in, but it’s also worth noting that while it obviously has much in common with the company’s all‑analogue Beta76, it delivers significant increases in functionality.

FET compressors have been an essential tool in recording studios for over 50 years. Its distinctive sound and reliability have made it a go-to for producers and engineers around the world. The 76-style FET compressor has left its mark on countless hit records which has helped to establish its reputation as a reliable and versatile tool in the recording technology. We have improved this design, creating a whole new level of versatility with seamless DAW integration – We present ng76 – fully analog FET compressor with digital recall.
