Universal Audio UAFX 1176 Studio Compressor

The world's most famous limiter on your pedalboard.

Introduced in 1967, the Universal Audio 1176 remains the king of audio limiting and can be heard on more classic records than any other compressor. Based on the powerful UAFX engine, the 1176 Studio Compressor delivers the same punchy, expressive sounds as the world-famous hardware, now in a compact stompbox.

Three world-famous sounds in a single pedal

From the subtle punch of a single 1176, to the endless sustain of two units connected in parallel à la Lowell George, to the compressed crunch of Led Zeppelin IV, this trio of legendary 1176 setups gives you the same iconic sounds and effects heard on thousands of classic records.

Spice up and elevate clean sounds.

From slippery '70s slide to chick picking and funk, the 1176 Studio Compressor has the right punch for any genre. With simple attack and release controls, infinite ratio settings, and the infamous "All Buttons In" feature for smashed sounds, you'll get classic tones and more.

Classic compression for the stage and the studio

Built for decades of reliable performance on stage and in the studio, the 1176 Studio Compressor features a switchable true/buffered bypass and parallel compression mode in a compact, pedalboard-friendly package - so you can upgrade your effects chain in a snap.
