The Universal Audio 1176 Classic FET Compressor is a legendary studio compressor - renowned for its lightning-fast attack, rich harmonic saturation, and versatile compression capabilities. Whether you’re tracking vocals, tightening drum transients, or adding sustain to guitar solos - the 1176 delivers punch, presence, and dynamic control with its distinctive FET-based circuit.
At its core, the 1176 features four selectable ratio settings - 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1 - allowing players to dial in subtle compression or aggressive limiting. The infamous "All Buttons In" mode engages multi-stage compression, producing gritty, explosive textures ideal for rock, blues, and funk recordings.
The Input and Output controls provide precise gain staging, while the Attack and Release knobs allow for fine-tuned transient shaping. The transformer-based circuitry ensures warm, analog saturation, making it a staple in professional studios worldwide.
