Description / Specs

The WA-1B accurately recreates world-class Scandinavian compression, combining smooth tube-optical warmth with precision controls. Like its original inspiration, favored by producers and engineers from Chris Lord-Alge to Rick Rubin, the WA-1B delivers that revered “forgiving” musical compression of tube-optical circuitry with speed and control more closely associated with modern dynamics processing. Hand-wired to authentically recreate the sound of a renowned circuit, the WA-1B combines custom large-core transformers from Lundahl Sweden, select tubes from JJ and Tung-Sol, and a premium high-precision optical element for ultra-fast and accurate operation without sacrificing authentic analog warmth.

Key features:

● Accurately recreating world-class Scandinavian compression combining smooth tube-optical warmth with precision controls

● True-to-spec 270 volt, 100% discrete analog signal path - handwired with through-hole components

● Transformer-balanced fully floating input and output - Custom-core large transformers from Lundahl in Sweden

● 12AX7 Tung-Sol & JJ 12AU7 tubes

● Frequency response @ -3 dB: 5 Hz to 25 kHz

● Self-Noise: < -75 dBU @ 30 dB gain

● CMRR: > 60 dB @ 10 kHz

● Ratio from 2:1 to 10:1

● Variable Threshold: Off to -40 dBU

● Continuously variable attack and release times: fast-slow

● Output gain: Off to +30 dBU

● Input impedance: 600Ω

● Two bus connectors to connect multiple sidechains

● Meter (VU) input, output, or compression amount

● Linear, low-noise power supply with toroidal power transformer
