Some mix bus chains remain a mystery—until now.

Introducing the AnalogX American 176, a faithful emulation of Grammy-winning mix engineer Greg Wells’ secret mix bus setup, as revealed publicly in the Gearspace forums. Wells, known for his pristine, musical mixes and work with artists like Adele, Katy Perry, and OneRepublic, has relied on a pair of Retro 176 compressors to define his mix bus sound.

Now, with Series 5 technology and Genesis, you can mix through the exact same settings Greg swears by—without dropping thousands on boutique hardware.

The Secret Sauce: Greg Wells' Exact Mix Bus Settings

We didn’t just model the hardware. We captured the precise setup Greg Wells uses on his mix bus, delivering instant analog glue, smooth transient handling, and effortless low-end movement.

• Pair of American 176 Compressors – Based on a modern boutique take on the legendary ‘50s-era Vari-Mu design
• 2:1 Ratio – Classic mix bus glue without over-compression
• Fastest Release – Retains transients while keeping dynamics tight and controlled
• High-Pass Detector at 100Hz – Lets the low-end breathe while locking in the mids and highs

This is pro-level analog mix bus compression, recreated with the depth, warmth, and movement of real hardware.
