Since the WA2A is a recent release, I doubt any company would make another product that directly competes with the rollout. Perhaps after the initial sales response and development and production costs are recouped and some profit made, they might look into something like an LA3A, but I don't see that coming for a long time. There are definitely other products that would expand their line in more of a complete system type way. A 1073 or an A/D-D/A converter would make much more sense for Warm. I think thus converter that you're hoping for is a pipe dream. I can't imagine a company that's doing hardware clones jumping into new designs of digital conversion. Totally different skill sets involved. Or people could just buy mine.. |

You're probably right Jesse, I was just thinking of things that would expand the Warm line. A WA73 would be my first guess, but I also know that Bryce thinks about developing products you might not associate with Warm at first, so you never know.

There is a definite market for an LA3a clone. The 1073 market is already cluttered enough. Golden Age Project do one, for very little.... |

Seeing as how the 1176 was on top of the Avalon which has an optical compressor I'm going to venture that its replicating the LA chain which is 1073 > 1176 > LA2A but in this case 1073 > 1176 > 737 compressor. So my vote is a 1073. Bryce was known for doing some really great work regarding the 1073 in the past. I'm sure if its a 1073 it will be nothing short of phenomenal. And of course if you park a Zulu at the end you've got a great Warm N Fuzzy bundle  -L Definitely not an 1176 on top of the Avalon  Sure ain't! Whoops! I'm still wagering for a kick butt Neve 1073 inspired design. Bryce is a bad ass mofo when it comes to those things. I've been salivating for one of those for YEARS from him. I'm talking way back in the early early WA12 days of Warm. Thanks -L. |

Isn't there a superhero that can see through cardboard?  We have several superheroes on this forum who can hear through cardboard... |

I would love to see an EMI-inspired channel strip, maybe a less feature-laden stab at something similar to the Chandler TG Microphone Cassette. A high-quality but basic pre/eq/comp which would make me sound and write music and get rich exactly like Lennon and McCartney.
