Waves CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter: Compressor/Limiter Plugin

Unlike the smooth sound of optical control-based compressors the CLA-76 models the ultra-fast response and tube-like distortion of FET control circuitry. This plugin models two CLA-76s based on hand-picked hardware that represents the best of the many revisions that were produced. Tight aggressive and with a big bold character the CLA-76 is a favorite of acclaimed mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge.

We modeled his two most-prized hardware units “Bluey” and “Blacky ” both perfectly maintained in his studio—so you can have their sound in your mixes.
