Our take

Who this one is for

The Ego 76 is Brian Wampler's FET compressor modelled on the 1176 Peak Limiter, the studio unit that arrived in 1967 as the first solid-state peak limiter. Wampler's aim went past cloning the compression circuit: the pedal also tries to capture what the preamps and consoles around an 1176 add to a recorded guitar, and to bring more energy to the top end.

It gives you the controls you would find on studio hardware. Attack and Release set how the compression grabs and lets go, Compress and Level set the amount and the output, and the Tone control adds brightness. The Blend knob mixes your clean signal back in for parallel compression, so the pick attack stays intact while the sustain evens out. It is 3PDT true bypass, takes a battery or a 9V supply, and has top-mounted jacks.

The Mini Ego 76 is the same idea in a smaller enclosure, with Attack and Release on three-way switches and no Tone control. Built in the USA.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are paying in full. Pick Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout in Canada or the US, or PayPlan by RBC in Canada. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
