2-1176 différent du 1-1176?

The 2-1176 design has some differences when compared to our clone, by deliberate design. However, the circuit of the 2-1176 is very similar to the revision D/E originals - same class A circuit, same Putnam output transformer and FET gain reduction. While our classic reissues strive to be true to the original design and component choices in every way possible (LA-2A, LA-3A, 1176LN), with the iterative products we do take certain liberties for modernization and improvement. The 2-1176 really was derived from our award-winning channel strip the 6176, for which we layed out the 1176 in a smaller format. The product was so successful and the compressor so popular, we rolled the 1176 into a two channel version, hence the 2-1176. The 2-1176 has also been hugely popular and also won the TEC award.

Differences: the caps and resistors are modern and are actually better quality and tolerances with the 2-1176 (metal film instead of carbon, nice WIMAs). This could contribute to a subtly cleaner sound. The 2-1176 also comes with an output impedence selection on the rear of the unit 600 ohm (classic) 15,000 ohm (modern) which will also 'modernize' the tone. While the two units share the same custom Putnam designed output transformer, the input transformers are different; the reissue uses the transformer cloned from D/E generation of units which functions interdependently with the T Pad used for input gain, while the 2-1176 uses a custom Cinemag transformer. Obviously, to fit two 1176's into the same form factor require some modification of the circuit layout/topology but these changes are only made with due sonic consideration and respect for the original design philosophy.

Bonjour,

De manière générale je ne m'inquèterai pas trop de savoir si telle ou telle réédition sonne de la même manière que l'original. C'est impossible et pour cause...Si vous prenez 10 compresseurs 1176 originaux, je vous parie qu'ils sonneront tous un peu différemment.

La question est plutôt de savoir, est-ce que le 2-1176 va-t-il me plaire par rapport à ce que je fais.

Mieux vaut s'acheter directement le top plutôt que d'acheter 5 fois du low cost avant de s'acheter le top !!!

Je ne connais pas le preamp Red 1, mais j'ai le comp Red 3, ca déboite sa maman !

HEY!! Justement c'est l'autre compresseur que je regardais en parallèle! Bon ce n'est pas le même prix... Il est moins coloré il me semble nan? Vu que tu as les 2, tu peux nous donner ce qui les différencies, le pourquoi ils sont vraiment bon?
