One of these.

Usual controls for a high quality compressor - but with the High Pass filter to limit the amount of compression on the lower notes to keep more thump if that is wanted.

I've given it a 10 minute blast next to my usual Darkglass Super Symmetry (Which I like a lot).

It's quite different. The DG is warmer - a bit like an old valve preamp. It has that top end pillowiness. The 76 has sparkle that the DG doesn't. It seems to have more harmonic content.

The HPF control is a thing of amazingly awesomeness. It really allows the low thump to come through while still keeping the compressive feel.

I really like it.

Also - it's about an inch narrower than the DG which will be handy for board space!
