I've seen a couple of silver 1178's for sale on Ebay, usually described as a stereo version of an 1176. Sounded pretty intriguing, except that recently on one of these forums someone (sorry, can't remember who, but I think it was someone heavy) said that the 1178 in no way sounds anything like an 1176. The implication was clearly that it was an inferior beast.

I've used this for few months, but never had much to compare it to, other then the UA reissues (LA-2A and 1176).

Any comments for or against the TUBE TECH CLA2B Compressor?

Does it shine on any specific type of application?

And how does the link (link 1 and link 2 switches) work?

What compressor do you use on a snare drum and how do you set it?

Fletcher, or any one.

How are you guys or what are you guys using to balance the RNC I/O. I have a tt bay and everything is +4 I was wondering what an easy way to do this would be. I'm looking to get 2 racked from Mercenary. Thanks

What's up with the 8900? It costs way more than most stereo compressors especially if you add in the cost of the power supply. Is five grand worth it? I could buy a buttload (well a 1176 and a Manley box) for that much moolah.

a friend of mine tell me, he heard about a masteringengineer from england (the guy who mastered the last robbie williams record) that he never use the stereolink-function on his prismsound-compressor . he says, the music lost liveness & the stereoinformation get distroyed in some way.

was looking at one online today

looks like a stereo 1176

dual mono / stereo operation?

could it be? any takers?

OK so I am thinking about getting an API lunchbox. I never hear any recormend or speak of using an API compressor. For that matter of all the tracks I have gotten to mix I have never seen one on a track sheet. Opinions on this one.

Do they stay together well?

Mick Jagger would like each of you to mix his album. But as he get's older, like all of us, he gets a little more eccentric (which would explain his stipualtions). He will only allow you to mix his album (and you'll get paid $7000 a mix, for 12 mixes, so don't say you won't do it) under the condition that you use only 2 compressors or limiters of your choice.
