That said, if you don’t have an 1176 amplifier, this one is a versatile and characteristic dynamics processor you can use all over the place. That one deviates from the original hardware by adding a dry control (for parallel compression) and a sidechain input (for… various ideas). For instance, in addition to the UA plug-ins, I’m a big fan of the Native Instruments – Softube collaboration on the Vc 76. IK Multimedia’s recreation here is accurate but pretty basic – it’s an older plug-in, so it’s possible you have a better rendition already in your arsenal.
So if you want a faithful copy, you can get either a hardware reissue or software DSP-based recreation from UA themselves. original, with later revisions by UA’s Brad Plunkett.
The important thing about that technical detail is that it also colors the sound in a way that a lot of people then – and now – find pleasing. It uses a FET (field effect transistor) wired in a feedback configuration to reduce gain. Uh… we’re glad they went back to the original name.) (At the time, UA was operating under the name UREI, or United Recording Electronics Industries. The 1176 is a 1976 classic from Universal Audio.
