Does anyone make a cheap(ish) 1176 style hardware compressor? Possibly a Stereo one?

If all else fails, maybe build your own?

I'd love but my electronics skills aren't far enough along to tackle a pair of these. I'd pay someone else if it was cheaper or even about the same..

[font="Helvetica"]As mentioned already, the [url="http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Warm-Audio-WA76-1176-Style-FET-Compressor/1CYM?origin=product-ads&utm_campaign=*PLA+Shop+-+All+Products&utm_medium=vertical_search&network=google&adgroup=**All+Products&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=63454d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=41477300408&gclid=CMv3tcvi58gCFYZAGwodRUsI1A"]Warm Audio[/url] product is meant to be a good one that retails around £500 [i](disclaimer: I don’t own it myself as I work entirely ‘in the box’ with software).[/i][/font]

I think the WA76 is looking like the way forward as they're not hideously expensive and have very favouarble reviews.. It looks like gear4music do cheapish credit too.. Ha!

Thanks for your suggestions chaps.

borrow my Cali76 for a bit if you need it mate.

Cheers man but it's for my recordings / masteriing. I'd be worried if I plugged it into the bass rig that you'd never get it back!

Just as a bit of a tangent, anyone tried an ART VLA series compressor? Different to an 1176 I know but they have my interest too.
