The AudioScape 76F Limiting Amplifier is a meticulously crafted, sonically faithful recreation of the legendary “REV F” FET compressor, blending classic, aggressive compression with a modern polish, featuring Cinemag CM-O12 input and B11148 output transformers, carbon film resistors in the audio path, precision metal film resistors in the side-chain, and the iconic 'All Buttons In' ratio mode, making it an indispensable tool for shaping punchy kick drums, articulate snares, rich bass guitars, and dynamic vocals.
Classic Compression, Modern Precision
The 76F captures all the distinctive character and punch of the original 76A model while introducing subtle refinements tailored for contemporary productions. Its Cinemag CM-O12 input transformer, a flawless recreation of the original UTC O-12 iron, ensures sonic authenticity. Alongside this, the B11148 output transformer contributes significantly to the signature “REV F” sound, providing a smooth low-end response and a slightly more transparent compression character. The unit’s attack time, slightly slower than the 76A, imparts clarity and definition, especially beneficial when sculpting modern kick drums, snare hits, and bass guitar tones.
Engineered for Sonic Excellence
AudioScape maintains an unwavering commitment to period-accurate construction by employing carbon film resistors in the audio path for tonal warmth and precision metal film resistors in the side-chain for unmatched reliability. This deliberate combination allows the compression section to perform consistently and flawlessly over a lifetime of use. The famous 'All Buttons In' mode, a hallmark feature of the original FET compressor, delivers the explosive, harmonically rich compression effect engineers have come to cherish. Additionally, the 76F supports a wide range of ratio combinations, offering exceptional flexibility for diverse studio applications.
Crafted with Purpose and Precision
Every AudioScape 76F Limiting Amplifier is meticulously hand-built in small batches in the USA by a dedicated team of skilled assemblers. Each technician specialises in only two products, ensuring unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
