This is great! I have to sell because I bought a really expensive piece of gear.

Step into the sound of legends with the Universal Audio 1176LN, one of the most iconic and revered compressors in recording history. Used on countless hit records from Led Zeppelin to modern chart-toppers, the 1176LN isn’t just gear—it’s a sonic weapon.

The little plastic cover (grey) of one of the knobs is missing, but, other than that this specific unit has real mojo!

Why it’s amazing:

• Ultra-fast Attack & Release: With lightning-fast attack times (as quick as 20 microseconds), the 1176LN grabs transients like no other, adding punch and presence to vocals, drums, guitars, bass—you name it.
• All-Button Mode: Smash your signal with the famous “British Mode” (all buttons in), for aggressive, harmonically rich compression that’s gritty, dirty, and full of attitude.
• Transformer Magic: The Class A circuit and custom-built output transformer infuse your tracks with analog warmth and musical saturation.
• Intuitive Simplicity: No menus. No scrolling. Just four knobs, a few buttons, and pure tone-shaping power.
  

Whether you’re tracking a vocal that needs to cut through the mix or crushing a snare drum to give it that modern slap, the 1176LN delivers that big studio sound every single time.
