Details
Controls: Attack 0.02-0.8ms (+20ms Super Slow mode), Release (adjustable), Ratio (2/4/8/20:1), THD control (Low 0.1%/Mid 0.6%/High 1.2%), sidechain HPF (60/120Hz), Dry/Wet parallel blend, true bypass
I/O: 500-series edge connector (specific connector pinout not detailed on page)
Notes: Clones the rare UREI 1178 (stereo 1176 variant), unlike the other 500-series 1176 modules which clone the mono 1176. Adds a 2:1 ratio (from the 1176AE) not on the original 1178. Likely occupies 2 slots given stereo I/O, but slot width not confirmed on page - FLAG. JFET gain reduction, Carnhill output transformers. Sale price $990 (list $1,290).
