A Brief History of the Rev A 1176 Compressor

Introduced in 1967 by UREI (Universal Audio), the Rev A 1176 Limiting Amplifier was the first of its kind, designed by the legendary Bill Putnam Sr. This solid-state compressor replaced traditional tube technology, offering faster attack times and groundbreaking performance. Revered for its distinct FET (Field Effect Transistor) circuitry, the Rev A introduced a level of control and transparency previously unheard of in recording studios.

The Rev A is known for its unique tonal coloration, often described as bright, punchy, and full of character. This made it an essential tool for vocals, drums, bass, and mix bus applications, cementing its place in music history. It remains a timeless studio favorite, shaping the sound of countless hit records across genres.
