Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The WA76-D2 is a seriously cool recreation of that iconic '70s SSL sound – think punchy drums, driving bass, and vocals with a vintage edge. It's a fantastic option for anyone wanting that classic vibe without the vintage price tag; especially good for rock, pop, and hip-hop producers looking to add some grit and character to their mixes.
