Urei 1178 v. UA 2-1176

Dirty Halo · 28th April 2006

I'm picking up a 1178 from this cool guy I just met, but am also thinking down the road...how do you think the new UA 2-1176 compares to the Urei 1178?

Specifically that comparison...better, worse, which one. Which is more like a vintage 1176...oh, now there's a question

The 1178 is a very special compressor that deserves its own place next to the 1176ln. I don't think you can ever go wrong with one.

Agreed, but who thinks what of the new 2-1176 and if you had a choice (and this is actually just fiction for me)would you go with an 1178 or a new 2-1176?

I would highly suggest two 1176LN or Purple Audio MC77 instead of 1178 or 2-1176.
