- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- If you're looking for an affordable 1176 hardware analog compressor then the Lindell Audio Lin76 Fet compressor might be for you. The Lin76 is a copy of the UREI/Universal Audio fet compressor the 1176. It has the all buttons in mode, the fast attack and release, the snappy compression and wonderful saturation you would expect.

Ever bought a 19" unit that didn't fit in 19"? But you are completely right! This is the 1176 on a budget! Much better than the Warm i believe...
Hahaha, surprisingly yes, but it was a weird rack that had a tray installed. It wouldnt fit a midas L10 which fits snug in the racks for sure. This thing goes hard though, It's getting regular use in the studio.
To me the Lindall clone is too far off the original, then 500 bucks is still a lot to me, just like the Warm Audio it just doesn’t hit the sweet spot for me. Okay double the price for a Stam Audio but then you get a really good clone with three revisions (A, D and G) also the Audioscape 76A is a really good clone. Now on sale for 900 bucks is a steal to me and they sound really amazing. For really low budgets I always recommend the FMR RNC comps which are great for the price, they don’t look so nice but they can do mono and stereo (not dual mono) and sound pretty decent 😊
will the "off" button bypass this unit? maybe i am a dummy but i cannot find this info anywhere.. i have one on the way and i am not sure if i can bypass this thing when i get it (haha) please do let me know, it would be great.. thanks!
Great question. There is no true bypass on this circuit. You can bypass the compression by having none of the ratios pressed in. But it still saturates the signal. Makes it a distortion box. Which is cool. But no bypass.
In mixing I use it as an effect insert like a plugin in my io settings. Then you can bypass it that way.
hi there, can you please help me figure out what power supply do i need with this. I am not able to figure out if this unit want 12 volts of AC or DC current and should the tip be center negative or positive. I am in India and i have to buy a new power supply for this anyway.. after getting no response multiple queries sent to lindel support , I think i may have to bank on community support on this :)
I’m ready to hear it. Thank you for this content.
Next week I’ll have some comparisons for sure!
Is there a review up for this?
Ha! I just got one of these THIS WEEK! So far so good! It sounds better than my plugins for sure and the price was a no brainer!
Yeah I’m going to do a dedicated plugin comparison next week. Keen to see the results. No doubt in my use it sounds better than plugins though. Heaps of vibe. Maybe a bit dark on somethings. Loving it though. What are you using it on mostly?
Thanks for the video. One thing, why on earth use an external 12V power adaptor? I'm not a fan of it. The Lin2A, LA2A copy, has a normal IEC power connection. It will be great to hear the audio examples in your next video.
Thanks Mitch
Yeah I would rather not have the line lumps. They can create noise problems. It surely is just a cost thing. Cheaper to source a generic power supply than build it into a board I guess?
Wow that's amazing, can't wait to hear some examples!
Coming up real soon!
Lindell 76 looks cheap and no xlr is a nogo...
It feels just as good as a real 1176. I’ve used both. It sounds great. I’m using it on snare and vocal duties all the time and it is doing very well.
What’s the issue with trs connectors? They all end up trs at the patchbay anyway.
nice one! you could open it so we can see the electronics if it doesn't void your warranty... Cheers from Brazil!
I could definitely do that. Great idea!
I got me one and it's so wicked on snare. Everything really.
Yeah mine lives on snare too mostly. Vocals in tracking too. I would get a pair but they’re on back order.
Have one. So cheap. Meter calibration a nightmare to the point in our one the meter doesn’t work at all. But it actually sounds good and living without the meter for now.
Yeah the meter calibration was super sensitive to adjust. Crazy tricky to get it right. Bit like playing a skill tester game or something. Hahaha. Luckily mine works though.
Great unit, I’m sure there’s a fix for yours somehow. I have. An ssl comp that has a broken meter. I kinda like not having it. Forces me to just use my ears.
@@diyrecordingstudio agree about using the ears. Lucky you getting the meter to work though!
Let’s see the inside! :)
Will definitely do very soon!
Klark Teknik is cheaper... in most parts of the world.
Yeah unfortunately in Australia we have crazy things with prices and distributors. The KT-76 is like $600 here. This was a lucky deal that was happening with an online distributor.
Have you got the Klark Teknik one? I’ve heard good things potentially.
@@diyrecordingstudio Yeah, the Aussie tax is real =). I've actually had both Lin76 and KT76. Sold my KT76 for a profit after the prices went up ~160€ since release. Still have the Lin76. Lindell Audio's yt channel has a comparison with these two + other clones.
was gonna ask same thing. Have seen many a klark technic unit s/h for the price of a bag of chips in the uk. Not to gloat, but it's more a comment on the price of food than anything else.
