Distinguishes its self from the other copies wa73 and the heritage elite by sounding better. Eq settings are more a like a artistic choice instead of turning knobs to get rid of unpleasant sounds. With this one, many settings are just good. Turning highs down? still nice mids and bass, not dull. dailing mids in? The diverse frequencies do something different musically. I couldnt find it on the wa73. It sounded sort of empty compared to this whatever i did. Same with the Heritage elite, although that one sounded better, almost like the Neve, but not as "filled" like the Neve. Plus the Neve has more functions, that i all use in my one man studio. A quad cortex through the di, or a direct bass, a neumann tlm 103 and a sm57 through the back for drumroom, snare, vocal and/ or ac. guitar. a wa76 comp to dail in or out, before or after eq, many choices. Also compared the GA, just to find out i had to save up and spend money, I use it every day probably for a high number of years maybe forever. Its a joy to work with
