Description

The WesAudio ng78 FET Compressor merges classic analog warmth with cutting-edge digital control, crafting a versatile tool for modern studios. Inspired by the renowned 1176-style FET compressors, the ng78 offers a fully analog stereo signal path while embracing the precision of digital recall. This integration allows seamless DAW automation and intuitive plug-in control, making it an ideal choice for hybrid setups.

With five selectable ratio settings—ranging from gentle 2:1 to the aggressive all-buttons-in mode—the ng78 handles everything from subtle dynamics control to bold limiting. The extended attack range provides refined transient shaping, while the dedicated Saturation mode and selectable THD levels (Low, Mid, High) offer tailored harmonic coloration. The unit's Carnhill output transformers ensure analog warmth and character, making it a favorite for producers seeking that vintage touch.

The ng78 also features a dual-section sidechain EQ with high-pass and high-shelf filters, perfect for retaining low-end power while refining top-end response. Whether you're working in dual mono or true stereo modes, the Dynamic Link Technology ensures perfect stereo balance. The dedicated Mix knob simplifies parallel compression, and hardware A/B switching offers instant preset comparisons, enhancing your workflow efficiency.

With USB and Ethernet connectivity, the ng78 integrates directly with your digital setup. Its classic gain reduction meters and precise Input/Output metering provide immediate visual feedback, reinforcing its role as both a tactile and visual tool in any studio environment.
