Already done its job
Lives up to its reputation, same places I dial in on the 1176LN. My only complaint is I wish the knobs were the same as the rack hardware.

1176 Studio Compressor Pedal
C. Tromp
Difficult to dial in. Quirky compressor.
This is definitely not a compressor you will set and forget. It is much better for guitar than bass. Dual mode is all out distortion. Not useful at all with bass. Maybe better with guitar? I find myself constantly tweaking this one. Every time you change ratio settings you need to total manipulate attack and release all over again. Overall, a disappointment.
