Meet the WesAudio NG78: a next-generation, stereo FET compressor that captures the punch, speed and attitude engineers love about the classic 1178 lineage, then adds WesAudio’s hallmark “Analog Sound, Digital Recall.” It’s 100% analog inside—with the snappy FET grab that makes drums leap forward, vocals sit confidently, and guitars lock into the pocket—yet it behaves like a modern tool in your DAW, recalling exact hardware settings in an instant.

The NG78 is purpose-built for stereo work. Dual large VU meters give clear, at-a-glance gain-reduction feedback for left and right channels, and the front-panel control set is everything you expect from a great FET: continuously variable Input and Output, dedicated Attack and Release, classic Ratio selection, and a Mix control for effortless parallel compression. A selectable sidechain high-pass filter keeps low-end energy from driving the detector, so your kick and sub don’t pump the whole track. When you want extra attitude, NG78’s dedicated Saturation/THD functions let you dial in harmonics from subtle edge to obvious bite—ideal for bringing sterile sources to life or adding cohesive grit across a bus.

Because it’s part of the WesAudio “ng” ecosystem, NG78 integrates directly with your session via plug-in control. Save and recall complete hardware states with your project, switch between stored memories on the front panel, A/B settings in seconds, and automate parameters just like a plug-in—while all the sonic work happens in the analog domain. That workflow makes NG78 as comfortable on a fast-moving mix or recall-heavy post session as it is in a classic, hands-on tracking chain.

From thunderous drum compression and explosive room mics, to present, steady vocals, to transparent peak-taming and mix-bus glue, NG78 covers the full FET palette—with the precision, speed and repeatability today’s productions demand.

Highlights:
• Fully analog, stereo FET compressor with classic 1178-style behavior
• Total digital recall and plug-in control within your DAW
• Parallel compression via front-panel Mix control
• Selectable sidechain high-pass filter to control low-end pumping
• Saturation/THD options for controllable harmonic color
• Large dual VU meters and clear front-panel status LEDs
• Memory/preset functionality for instant A/B and fast recalls
