Universal Audio UAFX|Compressor

Product details

A compact pedal that recreates Universal Audio's signature compressor, the UA 1176.

This is a series of four stompboxes that compactly bring together Universal Audio's outstanding analog modeling technology, cultivated through its UAD plug-ins.
It has a simple design with mono in/out and a single foot switch, and its size makes it perfect for building a system with an effects board.

- Universal Audio 1176LN Limiting Amplifier reproduced in a stompbox
- Equipped with three modes that have been used as guitar effects for many years: normal Single, Dual with a series connection for a crunchy sound, and Sustain with a series connection for a clearer sound.
Input, Output, Attack, and Release controls behave just like the original hardware
- The Ratio knob also recreates the famous "all buttons pressed" mode
- Bypass can be selected between true and buffered, and parallel mode can also be selected

About Universal Audio
In 1999, Bill Putnum Sr.'s sons, Bill Jr. and James Putnum, who inherited his DNA, re-established Universal Audio. They revived the classic machines and brought them back to life in the modern era. This was the revival of Universal Audio in response to the passionate requests of many engineers who loved the vintage equipment of the time and wanted to get them new.

The brothers went beyond just reproducing hardware, and began the challenge of making the classics usable as tools in the modern digital environment, and succeeded in precisely reproducing vintage analog equipment digitally. This was achieved by thoroughly analyzing existing real equipment and emulating it at the circuit level. The UAD system, which realizes an analog mind with a digital brain, is an indispensable part of the modern music production environment.

In addition, the company's recent entry into the fields of MI equipment and microphones for guitarists has significantly expanded its user base.
