The 1176 REV-A is a legendary compressor that was created in 1967 and became a must-have compressor in every professional studio thanks to its extremely fast "attack and release".
With a CLASS A circuit, musical sound and a wide range of performances ranging from subtle compression to musical distortion.
The 1176 was used in huge productions from all over the spectrum and used by BEST recording and mixing technicians.
The original 1176 (REV-A) was discontinued in the 1980s.
We manufacture REV-A style compressors as a mono compressor and as a stereo compressor.
Now with an original FARICHILD 2N5457 FET and an original 309 with CINEMAG transformers and OMEG potentiometers we can offer units with the same sound character that we are used to hearing from the great artists in the world.
The stereo compressor comes with a perfect link between the two channels.
In link mode, the attack and the release are controlled by channel one.
