Universal Audio 1176 Studio Compressor

Universal Audio 1176 Studio Compressor pedal brings the legendary compression of the 1176LN Limiting Amplifier directly to your pedalboard. With this authentic emulation, you can enjoy the punchy and expressive tones that have made this device famous.

The pedal offers three compression modes: Single, Dual, and Sustain. In Single mode, you experience the classic 1176 compression, ideal for adding subtlety to your sound. Dual mode emulates two 1176 compressors in series, resulting in a gritty, compressed tone. Sustain mode utilizes parallel compression to generate endless sustain, perfect for lead parts.

With controls for Input, Output, Attack, and Release, you can fine-tune the pedal’s response to match your playing style. The Ratio knob also includes the famous “all buttons in” mode for an intensely compressed and gritty sound.

Whether you’re seeking subtle dynamic control or pronounced compression effects, the 1176 Studio Compressor offers the versatility and quality you need for both stage and studio use. With switchable true/buffered bypass and a parallel compression mode, this pedal integrates seamlessly into any setup.

A power supply (9 volts) is not included.
