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.
