Universal Audio 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier
(Incl. Taxes & Shipping Cost)
Upon its release in 1967, the 1176 Limiting Amplifier became an instant classic because of its unique lightning-fast attack and release times, musical Class A output stage, and its wide range of sounds, ranging from subtle, near-transparent compression, to all-out drive and distortion.
