The MC77 compressor delivers the signature tone and rapid response of the legendary 1176 FET limiter, renowned for its effectiveness on bass guitars, kicks, vocals, and bus processing. This plugin captures the essence of the original hardware while enhancing it with modern features like onboard sidechaining and stereo linking. Its dynamic control makes it a powerful tool for both subtle and aggressive compression tasks, providing a classic sound that remains relevant in contemporary production.

Originally developed by Purple Audio in the late 1990s, the MC77 is a faithful re-creation of the iconic 'E' revision of the 1176. Utilizing high-quality components and an all-discrete signal path, this compressor maintains the vintage character and performance of the original unit. The FET technology enables fast attack times and flexible release settings, allowing the MC77 to handle everything from transparent dynamic shaping to intense limiting with precision and musicality.

Brainworx enhances this emulation with their patented Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT), which simulates the subtle variations of multiple hardware units within a single plugin. Additional features include mid/side processing, stereo width adjustment, and a headroom control for optimal gain staging. Integrated sidechain filters and a mix control enable quick parallel compression, making the MC77 a comprehensive tool for dynamic and spatial control in any mix.
