About this listing
Universal Audio 1176LN FET CompressorThe Universal Audio 1176LN delivers legendary FET-style compression with unmistakable tone and attitude. Modeled after the classic 1176LN blackface revisions D and E, this unit provides lightning-fast attack times and the rich, musical color that has made it a staple in studios worldwide for over 50 years. Hand-built in the USA with custom-made Class A circuitry and Putnam-designed output transformers, the 1176LN captures the warmth, punch, and clarity that engineers demand on everything from vocals and bass to guitars and drums.
With its ability to add depth and vibe to any signal—even without engaging compression—the 1176LN is far more than a dynamics tool: it’s a tone-shaping powerhouse.
