To analyse the non-linear behaviours of the 1176 Collection, I ran a 100 Hz sine wave through the plug-ins at various settings. Pepper Setting - Attack 10 o’clock, Release 2 o’clock, Ratio 4. This turns the 1176 into a soft-clipper that is driven by the Input.ĭr. Soft-Clipper - disengaging all the Ratio buttons (Shift+Click the currently selected ratio) disables compression, but signal continues to pass through the 1176 circuitry. It can add a very useful, gritty compression effect, especially pronounced in all-buttons mode.
Fastest attack and release constants produce abrupt level fluctuations that sound like distortion.
Grit Technique - great for bass, synths and screaming lead vocals. The unique and constantly shifting compression curve that results yields a trademark overdriven tone intrinsic to the 1176 family. The ratio is between 12:1 and 20:1, and the bias points change all over the circuit. In this mode, saturation increases radically due to a lag time on the attack of the initial transients.

This model provides UA’s rare 1176 40th Anniversary Edition, complete with exclusive mods including its lower 2:1 compression ratio and a fixed “super slow” 10 ms attack mode.Īttack - 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds. This model covers the early 70’s / Brad Plunkett “LN” (Low Noise) era of the 1176 circuit lineage, with variations including a more linear compression response, transistor gain amplification, and a change to the program dependency. This model represents the original Putnam FET limiter design, complete with its higher distortion and unique FET gain amplifier characteristics. Output metering (as opposed to GR) will introduce additional distortion.The 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection provides three distinct 1176 revisions, representing over 40 years of design iterations to the original 1176. The front-panel meter will indicate GR (Gain Reduction) or output level at either +4 or +8 dBm. As the input level is turned up, a corresponding decrease in output level may be required. The input knob controls the threshold, but the threshold is also dependent on the ratio selected - the higher the ratio, the higher the threshold. 5% THD - as much gain as some mic preamps, and far more than most compressors. The 1176 also offers a whopping 45 dB of gain at. By turning the Attack knob fully counterclockwise to the OFF position, the unit can be used as a straight line amp just for its unique sound. By enclosing the negative feedback of the output amplifier, its non-linearities were compensated and corrected for, producing very low output distortion.īecause of the input and output transformers, and the Class A output circuitry, the 1176 has a very distinctive sound even when it is not compressing.
The output transformer is an integral part of the sound of the 1176, balancing the impedance matching for the output. The output stage is an all-Class A line level amplifier, designed to drive the 1960s standard load of 600 ohms.
