Its FET-based compression delivers fast attack and assertive character that no optical or VCA compressor can match — the sound of aggressive vocal compression, punchy drums, and singing electric guitar. The compact 1176 pedal keeps the classic controls (Input, Output, Attack, Release, Ratio) and adds three operating modes: Single (classic 1176), Dual (Jimmy Page-style stacked compression), Sustain (Lowell George-style extended sustain).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic 1176 FET Compression\u003c\/strong\u003e — Built by the company that makes the original hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Controls\u003c\/strong\u003e — Input, Output, Attack, Release, Ratio — same as the original.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"All Buttons In\" Ratio Setting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Engages the famous gritty distortion-style compression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Operating Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single (classic), Dual (layered), Sustain (extended).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootswitch Status LED as Meter\u003c\/strong\u003e — Visual gain-reduction indication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable True\/Buffered Bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e — Configure via UAFX Control app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compact UAFX single-footswitch pedal with 5 knobs and 3-way mode switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e — Isolated 9V DC, center-negative (sold separately).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1 x 1\/4\" TS (mono).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1 x 1\/4\" TS (mono).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBypass\u003c\/strong\u003e — Switchable true\/buffered bypass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-mounted jacks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compact, pedalboard-friendly layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e1176 vs. LA-2A: Which Pedal Compressor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1176 is fast, aggressive, and adds attack to the signal — better for percussive sources (chicken-pickin', funk, punchy clean tones, modern rock rhythm). LA-2A is smooth, slow, and adds sustain and warmth — better for sustained tones (leads, ambient, clean strumming). Many engineers own both; if you can only get one, choose based on whether you want attack (1176) or sustain (LA-2A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUAFX 1176 Studio Compressor pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: 9V isolated power supply sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power supply does this UAFX pedal need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (larger UAFX models need a higher-current supply).
