Item #: GPS1176 | UPC: 819937003851

The Universal Audio 1176 Studio Compressor pedal brings the most famous limiter in recording history to your pedalboard. With authentic emulation of the legendary 1176LN hardware, it delivers iconic compression, sustain, and punch. Designed for guitarists and bassists, this pedal captures the sound and feel of the original unit with Single, Dual, and Sustain modes, true analog warmth, and responsive controls.

Introduced in 1967, the 1176 remains the world’s most recognized compressor—trusted on more hit records than any other limiter. The 1176 Studio Compressor brings that same speed, clarity, and punch to a modern pedal format.

Product Details

Built on UA’s powerful UAFX platform, the 1176 Studio Compressor offers the unmistakable response and tone of the legendary 1176 hardware. This pedal makes it easy to achieve everything from light leveling to deep, sustaining compression with fast attack and release times.

Use Single mode for a traditional one-unit 1176 sound, Dual mode for parallel compression with extra thickness, or Sustain mode for endless sustain inspired by dual-unit studio setups. Every setting responds musically, preserving the nuances of your playing while delivering studio-quality control.

With its sturdy aluminum chassis, switchable true/buffered bypass, and intuitive layout, the 1176 Studio Compressor is equally at home in the studio or on stage—delivering the sound of decades of iconic recordings right under your feet.
