Description

The 1176 is a very well known and appreciated compressor in
professional recording studios all over the world. Whoever heard how
this compressor works with vocals will never be able to manage without
one. It is a 45dB transistor amplifier equipped with a remarkable
limiter. Compression is achieved with the FET controlled transistor. The
unique feature of the unit is the implementation of traditional BC107B
transistors known well from the original circuit. That's right! They may
cause noise – but this is what gives the sound its power. At extreme
settings the 1176 adds some pleasant distortion to the output. The core
of versatility in sound of the 1176 lies in the balance between the Input,
Output, and Release knobs. It is a pure A class circuit.
