The Ultimate Collection of Universal Audio's 1176s

The UAD 1176 Classic Limiter Collection is the benchmark for those seeking the authentic sound of the legendary 1176 compressor, originally designed by Bill Putnam Sr. Now available as a plug-in version, this collection includes the three most iconic revisions-Rev A "Bluestripe," Rev E "Blackface," and AE (Anniversary Edition)-each with its own unique timbral character.

Dynamic control with precision and vintage color

These plug-ins not only reproduce the original behavior of FET circuits, but also capture their sonic nuances, from transformers to gain reduction response. You can take advantage of legendary modes such as "All-Button" to achieve aggressive sounds and distinctive saturations, ideal for drums, vocals, and solo instruments.

Flexible compatibility: native or DSP

Whether you're working on the go or in the studio with Apollo or UAD Accelerators interfaces, the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection fits your workflow. Plug-ins run natively on macOS and Windows systems, but can also take advantage of the DSP acceleration offered by UA hardware for optimal performance and reduced latency.
