The Complete 1176 Bluestripe This collection includes the iconic 1176 Rev A “Bluestripe” model which represents the original Putnam FET limiter design. With its higher distortion and unique FET gain amplifier characteristics this model delivers a vintage sound thats full of character. Keep in mind that the input clipping is most noticeable on the Rev A model even when no gain reduction is occurring. Experience the early 70s with the Rev E “Blackface” Take a step back in time with the 1176 Rev E “Blackface” model which covers the early 70s Brad Plunkett “LN” era of the 1176 circuit lineage. This variation offers a more linear compression response transistor gain amplification and a change to the program dependency. With its distinct sonic qualities the Rev E model is perfect for capturing the sound of that era. 1176AE “Anniversary Edition” Experience UAs rare 1176 40th Anniversary Edition with the 1176AE model. This exclusive edition comes complete with “hot-rod” mods that set it apart from the rest such as a lower 2:1 compression ratio and a fixed “super slow” 10 ms attack mode. If youre looking for something truly special and unique the 1176AE is the perfect choice. A triple threat of classic compression With the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection you get three distinct 1176 revisions that represent over 40 years of design iterations. Whether youre aiming for the vintage sound of the original Putnam FET limiter design the early 70s Brad Plunkett “LN” era or the exclusive mods of the 40th Anniversary Edition this collection has you covered. Each revision offers its own sonic character and gives you endless possibilities for creating the perfect compression. Simplicity and control with the 1176 Using the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection is a study in simplicity. With intuitive controls you can easily shape your sound. The Input knob sets the compression threshold and the level of the signal entering the 1176. The Output knob allows you to set the final signal level. The Attack knob determines how quickly the 1176 responds to incoming signals while the Release knob controls how quickly it returns to its initial level. The VU meter provides valuable visual feedback displaying the amount of gain reduction or the output level. Unlock iconic colour with Ratio buttons The four Ratio buttons on the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection allow you to dial in the perfect amount of gain reduction. Use lower ratios for compression and higher ratios for limiting. If you want to add the unmistakable color of the 1176 circuitry without compression simply disengage all Ratio buttons. This flexibility allows you to shape your sound in unique ways and experiment with different levels of intensity. And yes the plug-in version of the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection now includes the ability to achieve “Multi-Button” combinations including the famous “All Button” sound that users know and love. Modern workflow enhancements In addition to its classic features the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection also includes modern enhancements to improve your workflow. Need quick parallel processing on bass and kick drums? The Dry/Wet mix controls make it a breeze to achieve the perfect balance. And if youre dealing with low-frequency pumping the custom Sidechain Filter is there to help you tame it. Enhanced graphics and improved VU metering bring the iconic FET compression of the 1176 into the modern age ensuring a seamless and efficient experience. Reviews “The new 1176s are better for vocals because the old ones are grittier. The new ones are cleaner and just sweeter on tape.” – Joe Chiccarelli “I use the 1176 on everything: vocals guitars bass drums overheads and percussion. Its just such a great workhorse.” – Darrell Thorp “I always use an 1176 on the insert. It tickles but doesnt take over… and puts the vocals right up front.” – Jimmy Douglass “Just when you thought you had all the 1176s you need the Bluestripe is the perfect aggressive compressor and the 1176AE 2:1 ratio adds a new option for softer smoother compression. ” – Joe Chiccarelli “As technology marches on its great that UA realizes it is possible to revisit some of their classic plug-ins and make them even better than before.” – Carl Glanville “The 1176 Plug-in Collection excites me the same way the hardware versions did when I started in the business.” – David Isaac “My vocal chain is an LA-2A SSL E Series Channel Strip and 1176LN and a Precision De-Esser. Theyre amazing plug-ins.” – Hector Delgado “Im so impressed with the new 1176 emulation… This plug-in is now equal to its hardware equivalent. Having this many Bluestripes available at once is sick.” – Jacquire King FeaturesThe worlds most accurate recreation of the 1176 compressor series Choose between three revisions including Rev A Rev E and AE versions each offering a unique sonic character Encompasses the sonic quality of the full electronic transformers and FET amplifier circuits Unique colourful distortion for every instrument in your mix Not-so-secret “all button” and “no ratio” modes offer overdriven textures Upgraded with enhanced headroom mix controls and sidechain filters to eliminate low-frequency pumping under high compression Presets from legendary mixing engineers including Andy Johns Andrew Scheps Ed Cherney and Joe ChiccarelliSpecificationsOperating system:Mac: 10.15 Catalina 11 Big Sur 12 Monterey or 13 Ventura Windows: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit editions) Processor: Intel AMD or Apple silicon processor Disk space: 10 GB available SSD storage Activation:Internet connection to download software and authorize native UAD plug-ins Free iLok account with iLok Cloud or iLok USB (2nd generation or higher) Free UA Connect application for managing native UAD plug-ins Product code: 1172-41
