Product Description

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. Universal Audio’s 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier is a handbuilt, faithful reproduction of Bill Putnam Sr.’s original visionary design, an iconic piece of audio history that had a hand behind classic recordings from Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, and more.
  • True to the original in design, manufacturing and performance.
  • Modeled after 1176LN, blackface, D and E revisions.
  • Ultra fast attack time -20 microseconds to 800 microseconds.
  • Class A line level output amplifier.
  • Custom built Putnam-designed output transformer.
