The Universal Audio 1176LN reissue follows Bill Putnam's original drawings to bring a classic peak limiter / compressor to the modern studio market without the hassles of repairing and servicing the vintage units. This lightning-fast FET limiter has a place in just about every recording and mixing room, known for being versatile enough to use on any track in the mix but a tried and true favorite for lead vocals, bass guitar, and drums.
