WesAudio ng78 FET Compressor

WesAudio ng78 FET Compressor

The WesAudio ng78 is a fully analog, two-channel FET compressor that channels the classic 1176-style punch and speed engineers have relied on for decades, now with full digital recall and DAW automation. With +24dBu of headroom and five compression ratios — 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1 (plus all-button-style combinations) — it covers everything from a gentle "newly added" 2:1 glue setting to aggressive limiting. An extended attack range of up to 20ms gives you precise transient control, letting you tame sharp drum hits or preserve the natural punch of vocals and instruments.

A dedicated MIX knob enables effortless parallel compression, while flexible detector linking lets you run the ng78 in dual mono or true stereo mode, backed by Dynamic Link Technology that keeps stereo balance accurate across every parameter combination. The advanced sidechain EQ features a high-pass filter (60Hz, 90Hz, or 150Hz) and a high-shelf filter (2kHz, 5kHz, or 10kHz) for precise frequency-dependent compression, and a dedicated Saturation Mode turns the unit into a saturation box or clipper for additional harmonic character. Selectable THD (Low, Mid, High) and a Carnhill transformer output stage add further tonal shaping, while classic vintage-style gain reduction meters keep you visually locked in.

Like the rest of the ngLine, the ng78 offers total recall and full plugin control across major DAW formats, hardware A/B comparison switching, and USB or Ethernet connectivity — delivering the unmistakable sound of FET compression with a thoroughly modern, automatable hybrid workflow.

WesAudio is a Polish audio manufacturer based in Szczecin, founded in 2010, known for building professional analog outboard gear that bridges classic tube and transformer-based circuit design with modern digital convenience. Their flagship ng500 series — including modules like _Rhea, _Calypso, _Dione, and _Mimas — pairs fully analog signal paths with total recall, DAW plugin control (VST/AU/AAX), and automation, all accessible via USB or through their _Titan rack chassis for unified control of an entire 500-series setup. The company's focus is on giving engineers genuine vintage-style analog tone without sacrificing the recall and automation workflows expected in modern digital studios.
