Description
Meticulously designed to uphold the classic sound of the 1176LN, the 76-KT FET-Style Compressor features custom MIDAS inputs and outputs and a discrete signal path for superior audio clarity. Ratio selection is easy with four buttons for 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1, plus an all-button mode ideal for drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Attack and Release knobs control the response time for both and a backlit VU meter shows output or gain reduction—+4, +6 and +8 dBm options.
