Dark1176A 

Faithful emulation of the 1176 Rev A, the original 1967 “Bluestripe” that started it all. Dark1176 A recreates the exact FET gain reduction curve, Class A output stage, and original UTC transformer of the Rev A — known for its raw, punchy character, aggressive attack, and the unmistakable midrange color that defined early FET compression. One compressor, one revision, one philosophy: the original 1176 sound in its purest form. Features include auto knee, built-in saturation control, Q-adjustable sidechain EQ bands, and 8x oversampling for alias-free processing. Whether you’re slamming drums, adding grit to bass, or chasing that vintage Bluestripe attitude on vocals, the Rev A delivers the rawest, most aggressive FET character instantly.

Key Features: Authentic 1176 Rev A (Bluestripe) emulation • SAT knob with period-correct harmonic content • Q-adjustable sidechain EQ • Transformer and Class A output stage modeling • 8x oversampling • All-button mode
