UAD 1176 Classic Limiter Collection｜Legendary FET Compressor Classic Emulation Suite
Recreating the Most Iconic Dynamic Processor in Recording History
Designed by Universal Audio founder M.T. “Bill” Putnam himself, the 1176 was a major breakthrough in limiter technology. As the first compressor to utilize an all-solid-state circuit and ultra-fast 20-microsecond FET gain reduction technology, the 1176 added power and character to countless historic recordings with its intuitive operation and unique sonic signature. In 2013, UA, through more in-depth end-to-end circuit modeling, perfectly captured every subtle sonic nuance of the hardware. Now, the new UAD 1176 Classic Limiter Collection plugin suite not only inherits the excellent tradition of analog modeling but also brings this essential studio compressor into modern digital workflows, providing irreplaceable punch and classic color for your vocals, drums, bass, and guitars. This collector's edition FET compressor suite is an indispensable core tool in every professional mixer's arsenal.
