The SA-76D Plus is the most authentic and accurate reproduction of the iconic UREI 1176 Rev D available today. With a fully discrete signal path following the original schematic and by using identical 0-12 and 50002 transformers we have managed to impart the original tone and character founds on these vintage compressors.
Unlike any other replica the SA-76D plus has a built in and selectable tube output circuit which is activated by pulling on the output knob. The tube output stage includes a 12AY7 valve and a Carnhill transformer that takes this compressor to the next level with a bigger low end and added harmonics.
Just like the ADG and ADF series the SA-76D plus has the super slow mod option on the attack knob which is ideal for compressing bass and kick
The SA-76D Plus features a Sowter 1260 input transformer which is an identical replica of the original UTC O-12 (Ratio 1:1.58 200/500 Ohms) and two Sowter/Carnhill output transformers that precisely matches the ratio and frequency response of the original 5002 and a Carnhill output transformer.
We have made no compromise in parts such as Vishay capacitors, quality resistors and matched selected transistors to ensure you will get the best sounding unit without cutting any corners. All of the SA-76D plus are hand-made and calibrated in our workshop in Chile where they get a full quality check and 48-hour burn.
