UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 413 - Chapter 47: UA 1176 Classic Limiter Collection
1176 Plug-In Family
The complete 1176 family is comprised of five individual plug-ins, as seen on
the previous page. Each variation has its own unique sonic characteristics.
UA 1176 Limiter
Collection
The UA 1176 Limiter Collection bundle (introduced in UAD v6.2) provides
three distinct 1176 revisions, representing over 40 years of design iterations
to the original 1176 — the world's most recognized compressor.
The newer state-of-the-art algorithms in this bundle take full advantage of the
extra power available on UAD-2 devices and the design sophistication and
expertise gained since the introduction of the original 1176LN plug-in ten
years prior.
1176 Rev A “Bluestripe”
This model (Figure 133 on page 412) represents the original Putnam FET lim-
iter design, complete with its higher distortion and unique FET gain amplifier
characteristics.
Although the input can clip even when gain reduction is not occurring in all
the Limiter Collection bundle models, the input clipping is most evident on the
Rev A model.
1176 Rev E “Blackface”
This model (Figure 134 on page 412) covers the early 70’s / Brad Plunkett
“LN” (Low Noise) era of the 1176 circuit lineage, with variations including a
more linear compression response, transistor gain amplification, and a
change to the program dependency.
1176AE “Anniversary Edition”
This model (Figure 135 on page 412) provides UA’s rare 1176 40th Anni-
versary Edition, complete with exclusive “hot-rod” mods — including its lower
2:1 compression ratio and a fixed “super slow” 10 ms attack mode.
