Much More Than A Compressor

Arguably, this box sees more use in my studio than anything else I own. I use it as a channel strip for tracking in addition to regular compression / limiting duties. There's more than enough gain to use it as a mic pre. Then, when I'm done wiht mixdown, I'll run the final out of Logic thru this box and in to a couple of Tube-Tech pultec type EQ's and, voila - instant master - more than good enough for final production.

Quality Compressor

You can get some tone out of this gear. With digital recording, sometimes a completely transparent compressor is not the answer. However it can do both, be transparent or pump the sound. A tube pre plus this unit can get rid of that digital edginess. An inexpensive compressor can pump the sound too, but your never 100% satisfied. You always get that squashed processed sound. The 1176 does it more naturally, giving drums/bass that punch and keeping guitars/vocals under control yet defined. You'll use this on every track.
