FET-Style Compressor
The 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier is a modern reproduction, yet
every effort was made to remain faithful to UA founder Bill Putnam Sr.’s
visionary design and intentions. The ultra-fast
attack time and trademark sound have lured legendary artists and studio
moguls alike to the 1176LN — Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, Joe
Chiccarelli, Vance Powell, and Mike Elizondo are just a few names on a
list that’s continued to grow, for nearly 50 years.
The way the 1176 sounds, and specifically, the way All-Button mode
sounds, is partially due to it’s being a program dependent compressor.
The attack and release are program dependent, as is the ratio. The 1176
will faithfully compress or limit at the selected ratio for transients,
but the ratio will always increase a bit after the transient.
