Unleash the legendary UA 1176 sound, now in a compact and versatile stompbox.

The Universal Audio 1176 Studio Compressor Pedal captures the unmistakable sonic fingerprint of the world's most beloved compressor, the UA 1176LN Limiting Amplifier. Heard on countless classic recordings, the 1176 adds punch, control, and endless sustain to your sound, making it an essential tool for guitarists of all genres.

 


Legendary Tones, Compact Design

The UA 1176 sound is legendary, and the 1176 Studio Compressor puts that iconic tone within your reach. It faithfully captures the unmistakable character of the original UA 1176LN hardware in a compact pedalboard-friendly format. Dial in anything from the subtle squeeze of a single 1176 to the stacked intensity and aggressive crunch achieved by using two units in parallel. The versatile Ratio knob, with its wide range and "all buttons in" mode, gives you the power to shape your compression to perfection, letting you create your own signature sound.

 


Built for Stage and Studio

The 1176 Studio Compressor isn't just about squeezing your sound. It's built to seamlessly integrate into your playing style. The parallel compression mode lets you achieve smooth, transparent compression while retaining the natural attack of your picking for a dynamic and responsive feel. Additionally, the switchable true/buffered bypass ensures your tone stays pristine when the pedal is off, avoiding any unwanted coloration. No matter how hard you play or how far you travel, the rugged construction of the 1176 Studio Compressor guarantees it can handle the rigors of the road.
