The Universal Audio UAFX 1176 Studio compressor effects pedal brings the iconic 1176LN Limiting Amplifier to your pedalboard. With three distinct compressor modes, simple controls and a rugged design, the 1176 Studio compressor allows you to craft classic compression textures with ease.

The 1176 Studio compressor pedal features circuit-accurate emulation of the legendary 1176LN studio compressor. Single mode provides normal compression, Dual mode emulates two 1176 compressors in series for gritty, squashed tones, while Sustain mode uses parallel compression to generate endless sustain. The 1176's famous 'all buttons in' setting is also included for extreme compression.

Simple, Intuitive Controls Shape Your Tone
With just Attack, Release, input and output knobs, the 1176 Studio compressor keeps operation straightforward. The Attack knob sets the compressor's response time, from slow to fast. Release controls how quickly the compressor stops reducing gain once the input signal drops below the threshold.

Roadworthy Design, Studio-Quality Sound
Housed in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure, the 1176 Studio compressor pedal is built to withstand the rigors of travel and stage use. However, its boutique components and circuitry provide studio-quality sound, with premium AD/DA conversion and a 96kHz sample rate. A 9V DC power supply is required to operate the pedal.

Parallel Compression and True Bypass
