UNIVERSAL AUDIO / UAFX 1176 Studio Compressor

Released in 1967, the Universal Audio 1176 has been used on countless classic recordings as the king of audio limiters. Developed based on the powerful UAFX engine, the 1176 Studio Compressor provides the same punchy and expressive tone as the world-famous hardware in the form of a compact stompbox.

■Three world-famous sounds in one pedal
From the delicate squeeze of a single 1176, to the endless sustain of two units used in parallel like Lowell George, or the compression crunch of Led Zeppelin IV, you can get the same iconic tones and effects heard on countless classic albums by utilizing the legendary 1176 “trio setup”.

■Punch up your clean tones for more presence
The 1176 Studio Compressor provides the iconic push-pull feel that has made it a staple of everything from smooth 70s slide to chunky funk. With simple attack and release controls, a variety of ratio settings, and the famous “all-button” interface, you can get a wide range of sounds beyond the classic tone.

■Classic compression, from stage to studio
The 1176 Studio Compressor is built for long-term, reliable performance on stage and in the studio, and with its compact footprint, switchable true/buffered bypass and parallel compression modes, it can instantly upgrade your effects chain.
