76-KT : An excellent and affordable 1176 clone that beats out any plugin

I'm utterly amazed at the quality you get for the price and if I did not know about this compressor, I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone told me that it costs double or more the price it sells for.

The compression is very, very close to the real thing, a bit on the cleaner side and doesn't distort as easily but it's incredibly useful for tracking.

The sound remains punchy and present throughout the frequency spectrum no matter how hard you push it.

I initially intended to use it as a tracking compressor only, but I'm definitely finding it very useful while mixing.

All of the knobs have a surprisingly sturdy feel to them.

Again, the quality build is insane for the price.

Highly recommend it!
