Waves CLA-76 delivers two authentic recreations of the iconic Universal Audio 1176 FET compressor — the CLA-76 Bluey and CLA-76 Blacky — developed in collaboration with Grammy-winning mixing engineer Chris Lord-Alge. Known for its ultra-fast attack times and distinctive harmonic character, the 1176 is one of the most recorded compressors in music history. The legendary All-buttons mode produces the aggressive compression and unique coloring that defined the sound of classic rock, pop, and hip-hop recordings for decades.
