Nice channel strip

I bought my 6176 mainly for the 1176 (I bought the unit for less than what a new 1176LN costs). The 1176 sounds just like a reissue 1176LN to my ears. I was suprised by how nice the pre sounds on vocals, bass, mic'd amps and acoustic guitar. The stripped down EQ is actually quite musical althought I wish there were a few more frequencies on the shelving. This is a versatile unit being able to link and use both pre/comp together or split and use each seperately.

I don't have to tell you about the 1176, it rocks!

  Highly Recommend

Great piece of gear. Two classics -- the 610 pre and 1176 comp -- which you can use together or separately. Both have distinctive sonic character. I use it on every track-and-mix I do. Of particular note: It sounds tremendous on DI'ed bass.
