The 1176 Compressor needs no introduction because its classic FET circuit has graced so many albums and has a myriad of uses. But for guitar, Brian Wampler wanted to do more than just make a clone, mainly because this fast acting analog comp was designed for applications outside of the guitar-amp signal chain. To make the EGO 76 more adaptable, his wizardry included a clean blend to let the instruments transients and peak through while an active tone control lets you maximize twang or mellow out stacked gain stages. The precision of a studio comp is all there too, with Attack and Release along with loads of makeup gain to overcome the squishiest settings. The Wampler EGO 76 runs on standard 9VDC and features a sparkle finish to match its tone. Check out this studio inspired compressor at WamplerPedals.com

U are the GOAT ANdy.. Thanks for all the years of keeping me entertained and inspired...
Thanks so much, really means a lot to me! 👊💥👊
❤
Andy is THE standard on how a pedal demo should be done from start to finish...!!!
🎉🎶🎸🤘🏻
Since the star of RUclips!
That Seuf Tele is 🔥
I’ve been looking forward to this!
Saw Wampler's own video on this and began to drool having loved the 1176 blue stripe since I was a kid. Your demo in the beginning was probably the best compressor demo I've heard in a very long time, too!!
What a great pedal! Wampler + Andy, what a combo 🙂
Andy's always gonna give you the most musical presentation of a piece of gear. I'm loving the fidelity on tap in this pedal.
Great playing Andy as always! I want one of these now for the studio.
Wizardry, for sure. Love the playing!🤘
Andy killing it again.
We need to see more of that Rev 12 string!
The EGO76 is a gamechanger on that thing, wow!
Fantastic demo. I've never really felt the need for a compressor but seeing the way this pedal smoothed out the harsh transients on the clean signal without sounding processed is making me reconsider. Placing it at the end of the signal chain to even out the two different distortions is brilliant.
Happy to help out!
Watched this video after buying one of these. Very helpful. Thanks, Andy!
Glad it was helpful!
WAMPLER makes the best pedal line.
For decades Boss was my go to. Hasn't been that way in several yrs now
Wampler is top-notch, for sure, but Boss is one of my favorite brands. I wouldn’t put one above the other.
The Boss CP-1X is, by far, my favorite compressor pedal. I prefer it over the famous Origin Cali76, believe it or not.
This Wampler Ego76 sounds great. If I didn’t already have the Boss I’d definitely pick one up.
I’ve never been disappointed, when buying a Wampler.
I used his Velvet Fuzz, as my distortion and Fuzz Face sounds, for several years. That thing just sings with a wah, and it can go anywhere in a pedal chain. I used his Plexi for awhile, until I traded with someone, to try a different drive. It was a JHS Twin Twelve, that just didn’t work with my rig, and I sold it.
The Latitude Deluxe, I didn’t keep, but it was only because I really didn’t need all its features, and I had rediscovered Harmonic Tremolo, which it didn’t do. Otherwise, it’s a great tremolo, with many options, for a pedal from nearly a decade ago.
He makes quality stuff, and he doesn’t pretend circuits are something they aren’t.
I remember watching his videos on frequencies, and how much more important they were for what one uses to cut through a mix, than a drive that sounds good, outside of one, but doesn’t cut through well, without stacking it.

I would get one too, but I got the DSM & Humboldt ClearComp for $99 new, during a clearance sale this winter, after seeing them many times, being sold for $249 new.
It’s a lot like this Wampler. Many of the same features, with a few options the Wampler doesn’t, but really modeled off the same style of studio compressor.
It’s quiet, and I can do all the things I need, and the things I don’t.
The Boss one added too much noise, but I didn’t have a great power supply, and I was using cheap cables, at that time. My amp was also pretty bright, so that Boss buffer brightened it even more. Now, I use a buffered loop, for all my pedals, so I get the same signal with a Boss in the chain.
I’m sure I could use it fine now, and it was near the top of my list of ones to get, before I saw that ClearComp sale.
I just LOVE your intros !!!!
Thanks so much, it’s my favorite part of all this!
Great intro, Andy!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Love compressors :). Currently using an orange kongpressor, on the cheaper side of things but holy moly does it sound fantastic. Nice job Andy. Going to have to give this one a go.
sounds great on bass, i usually go to optical compressors but this is a nice surprise. i just got the circuit board for this today, there's some tricky JFET stuff so it's gonna take a while. as always a fantastic demo, thank you!
i have a rack klark teknik 1176, this pedal doesn't sound like an 1176. BUT it still sounds aweomse. we'll see when i finish the pedal!!!
i'm realizing compression pedals are mostly preamps... tons of JFETs.
Fab demo. Thanks! I’ve had my eye on an Airwave. It’s such a great guitar. Would you consider doing a vid on it?
Compression completely changed how I played 12 string guitars. Blend controls took compression to an ever greater level. (:
6:09 Always great to hear TP worked into a jam. 😺
Might be time to upgrade from my FX80B, this has a lot of features I like.
Brian Wampler is a very good dude. I’ll be happy to give him more business
I really dig your playing.
I appreciate it!
The Redtail bass really cleaned up nice
What a fantastic video have a good weekend also what is your favorite year from the 2010s Andy ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’d be interested in this, as it’s the type of Compressor I like to use live, but I just recently got the DSM & Humboldt ClearComp, that has a similar feature set, but were priced at $249 new, for awhile. I grabbed a new one for $99, during a clearance sale.
It’s a killer compressor. All the issues I’ve had with others, aren’t in it, and it has the blend like this one.
It can do the squeeze, but it’s better for just a different flavor and sustain, like a studio one.
Really dig the tone it got, placed after the Pantheon.
What a great idea for a compressor, I really dig this, great playing Andy! Do you use a compressor often? I imagine playing with your fingers it makes a much bigger difference in the way you play?
Hey thanks for watching! I do like compressors for certain applications (12-string obviously) but one reason I like fingerpicking is the dynamics and compression is designed to narrow that. That being said, the clean blend is a great way you can have it all👍🏻
I see what you did at 4:55...
Already snapped it up . Great demo! Brian says he prefers to run it at the end of chain but it can be run anywhere. Did you have a preferred spot in the chain?
Awesome, thank you! It all depends on the rig, I tried the end of chain in the last example and was pleasantly surprised! Usually, I’ll place it pre-gain though.
How is it different from the Wampler Wong compressor?
Been a fan awhile what kind of 12 string electric was that it made that track pop 👍
Thanks! That’s a Reverend Airwave, I got it with compressor demos in mind!
You Wreck Me by Tom Petty in there! Perfect usage of compression
Couldn’t resist that one, it was just begging to come out with this amp too!
It sounds killer! @@AndyDemos
Great demo as always. How does this compare to the tone of the Wampler Ego
It's not really a tone thing but how differently they react/respond to volume attenuation. The EGO76 is FET where the EGO (DynaComp/Ross etc) has a OTA circuit. In general, FET are very quick to respond and much more Hi-Fi (why studios like em) and OTA are more squishy and funky (why guitarists like em).
@@AndyDemos Awesome! Thanks for the info and for your reply. I’ve enjoyed your demos for many years. You’ve done many great covers of classic songs and have come up with some really catchy original music for your more recent demos too along with always explaining how each product works well. I’ll be sure to check this pedal out.
Are you getting radio interference into the amp from bad power, the pickups, or the pedal?
Occasionally I get radio from my outlets, doesn’t matter which pedal amp or guitar, it’s there sometimes 🤷
I was ordered in amazon, now im waiting to long and nothings update my ego become 76
Is this the Black Dog unit?
I mean, there were compressors on that track but the fuzz you're hearing in direct console distortion. The 1176 doesn't create distortion, only manages it.
@@AndyDemos thanks! I thought i saw Rhett recreate that fuzz with compressors.
@@daveclinton4945 Ahh I remember now, you’re right he used two: one as just a gain stage and the second doing the compression. To answer your question, it’s still no because this is not a direct copy, no transformers and not dealing with line level. I just didn’t want to give anyone the false impression that this pedal will sound like Black Dog. Thanks for the question!
Thanks man 😁
Is this the diet cali 76?
Nope, Brian used a 1176 as a starting point but included a lot of personal circuit choices to make this a 1176 for guitar players.
it's the Cali 76 without the snake oil price tag
