2nd review, a few months in on these

One Star Down, when using these two in series, they are difficult to match up because the I/O Gain Detants are a bit on the coarse side, and the HR control detants are exactly the same, ( no hope for in between tweaks )
One Star Back UP, these two together SOUND BETTER THAN THE FAIRCHILD when you want to lay in a clean smash ...and of course are much more flexible for the same price also

OMG!!!

No one told me that the 1176 was the lesser, solid-state descendent of the 176. I had no idea. This compressor just floors me every time. It’s an automatic awesomeriser. Drums, bass, vocals... stick a fork in it, we’re done!

Mojo Compressor

Both of these compressors are fantastic; kinda like the 1176's but with more mojo! I recommend staging them with a gain plugin in the slot before to hit that sweet spot. The 175B is great but I do like the ratio options on the 176, just allows how much you wanna compress your signal. You can also mash the front end for some cool tones too.

Colorful fast and punchy compression

Well it is really evident, as they say, that the UA 175B/176 collection captures the essense of more 'modern' 1176 compression in a more colorful Fairchild-like rendition. It's got the right amount of punch and smack, with loads of faithful warmth and grit. An interesting aspect by it self, as these qualities seems so well integrated into the overall sound outcome. On an electronic drum-bus it almost feels like modern dancemusic is taken back to the tubey sound of the 50's.

Needless to say, these compressors are done so perfectly right in the wellknown UA manner, that it almost doesn't surprise anymore!

serious Wow!!!...no compressor collection should be without..

i patched these up on a mic > 175B > 176 > vertigo just runing minimal transient shaping brick >ZOH-MAUG-DUDE, speechless really.....the infinitely variable A/R times, combined with the way they react to and so on the sound...and then you can even tweak the texture beyond that.... can also be very subtle tube/trans richness that is very clean and punchy, but so flexible beyond that.

These are absolutely awesome! It's what 1176s should really sound like lol. Only joking, they simply sound like a million dollars!

Haven't used a 1176 since

How are THOSE not as legendary as the 1176? They sound better in almost every way! They were probably more expensive to produce so the law of commerce crowned an inferior product just like it did with Beta vs VHS tapes in the 80's. Oh well, who cares now that we have THOSE plugins to play with! Thanks you, UAD!!!!!!!

Nobody told me the 1176 was an inferior, solid state version of this!

I purchased the 175B/176 recently, and WOW does it have an incredible sound - and it imparts such a lovely heft and grandness to nearly everything - I've had a love affair with the 1176 for a couple decades, but for some reason never really understood the connection to the 176. I know this is the honeymoon phase, and it's not for everything, but the 175B/176 will definitely be a staple in the majority of my mixes going forward.
