1176 Studio Compressor Pedal

Universal Audio 1176

If you've wanted a pedalboard-friendly recreation of a studio compressor straight from the source, Universal Audio's own UAFX 1176 is, in fact, an authentic emulation of the studio classic from the folks who made it. The 1176 earned a repuation as a studio staple, and has its particular character of compression immortalized into countless recordings, and now UA is offering it in their most compact version yet. Dial in your Input and Output levels to push the compressor as hard as you'd like, set Attack and Release controls to taste, and choose your favorite ratio for your desired compression intensity. All of the classic ratios are here: 4, 8, 12, 20, and even the secret All mode achieved by pressing in all the buttons at once. And to make it even easier to dial it all in, the Single, Dual, and Sustain compression modes offer some handy assistance in approaching the compressor tones you seek. Drop the 1176 onto your board and give your tones a studio-grade lift.
