Klark Teknik 76-KT 5-stars Reviews

Is great 1176 clone

is very transparent and simple to use, i love it and i use it for vocal recording.

in cubase i rooting as insert in input track for recording the compressor with vocal.im very satisfied with the unit.

Great price for that classic 1176 sound

Not the exact same thing as the original, but it FEELS the same. Feel wins every time.

Classic Compression for a great price!

Great Features, Great Build, Great Sound, Great Value. It does what it says on the Tin! Excellent…

Awesome compressor!

This a very good compressor for any source. Totally worth the price.

Cheap, but not cheap sound

Just got this lovely compressor, it's well made and doesn't have the problems of excessive noise etc that others have described. I've used it on my music and it's compression behaviour is very quick and the right amount of compression doesn't muffle the sound, although it doesn't bring out certain colourings I might like, in all botton mode the sound is crazy and a little bright. Especially on Bass you get that magical square wave magic.

Very good, I like it.

No Brainer

Got it hooked on Sub37 and I love it. Downpoint no AB/ Bypass knop.

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!

Love it!

I have never used the original, but I do have a rather expensive version on my UAD 6176 preamp I can compare the 76-KT to. This got the mojo I was looking for, and real knobs make med try end experiment more. So I ended up getting 4 of these:)

CANNOT BE BEATEN FOR THE PRICE

this is a great piece of gear and emulates the original 1176 to a good degree. for the price you're paying you just can't complain. klark teknik have done a really good job with this one

it's a professional compressor

It's a good, professional 1176 clone. Any negative reviews I watched on Youtube make no sense, I think some people do not know how to use analog gear, that's all.

I gave one star less because calibrating the UV meter is gruesome, it shouldn't work like that, but for the price I guess there needed to be some savings quality wise.

Sounds killer

these are excellent build quality and sound excellent! amazing value. better than plugins!

A respectable 1176 clone despite the price

A really useable compressor. Can't believe it for the price. solid build good quality

Use it every day

I use it for everything. I have several 1176 clones. I really love this one and you can't beat the price of course.

Don't let the price scare you. It really is everything it promises. The manufacturing cost just drops due to SMT components used inside.

Very good value for money

I haven't used an original 1176, but was pleasently surprised by the sound and quality of it.

Amazing 1176 Compressor

This is a great compressor and sounds great. I'm a massive fan of parallel smashed drums and this is a great low cost solution to do it in the analogue world. The quality is great and it performs really well. Definitely going to get myself a LA-2A from them next.

Lot of sound for small price

Im in love with this KT box sound is awesome little brighter than original one but who cares .

Using it for mono Snare or acc guitar is perfect. Maybe not for lead vocal if you have better option . But why not for Lead vox and Shure SM7B is matched pair !

Fantastic compressor for the price !

WOW....definitely a LARGE stepup from basic compressors.... while nowhere near the original "76" (but to be fair only costing a fraction of that price) this is 100% worth having in your rack either for channel inserts or for adding a subtle overall soft compression to main FOH signals... with a really classy true vintage warmth !

It's really easy to get good tones from the KT76. It sounds great and adds a bit of analog feel to your tracks. I use it on almost everything and the result I get is fantastic. It could be a bit noisy if you push the line amp really hard but this doesn't bother me at all.

It is definitely better than any 1176 plugin I have ever tried.

Bang For the Buck!

Nice Compressor mine has no noise issues!

Its a BEAST

Use : Mainly using it for recording & Mixing Vocals

Clarity : I simply love the life in it, compare to Plugins.

Pros : Everything.

Cons : Bypass option.

I have worked in few studios with top gears, this gear definitely in par with top gears. for this price range the build quality is top notch, doesn't feel cheap. have fun
