Introduced in 1967, the Universal Audio 1176 has since been crowned the king of audio limiting, heard on more classic records than any other compressor! Built on the powerful UAFX engine, the 1176 Studio Compressor pedal delivers the same punchy, expressive tones of the world-renowned hardware, now in a compact stompbox!
With simple Attack and Release controls, plus infinite Ratio settings and the infamous “all buttons in” for smashed sounds, you’ll get classic tones, and tons more—from slithery ’70s slide to chicking picking and funk—the 1176 Studio Compressor gives you iconic squeeze for any genre.
