Lake People 1178 clone german vintage urei FET dual 1176 stereo compressor

Description

Rare 80s high end german made clone of the 1178 stereo FET compressor for half the price of a urei. Also has additional features that beats the urei in many ways as well. Follows the 1178 schematic signal path to the T, uses the exact same vintage rare FET modules and IC's, has same 4 ratios, same "backwards" attack&release control directions and times, even has a secret "all buttons in" mode one click past the 20:1 ratio setting. Instead of VU meters, it uses fast accurate LED meters instead of the slow urei VU's. Fully balanced transformerless in and out for widest freq and dynamic range. I dont have to say much about the sound as this is a 1178 clone, verified by the schematics that I will include to buyer, as well as by the original german designer/builder of these units I have spoken to. Unique to the Lake 1178 is it is a true dual mono units with stereo link switch, so you can also use as 2 mono units with different attack/release/ratio settings on each channel, unlike the always stereo linked shared controls of the urei that dont allow for independent use. Basically its like having two 1176 that way.
Lake also made some of these with a bonus Deesser switch mode on some units and named them as V4 deesser. See the video of a guy using it on snare, tho most use 1178's for stereo bus, drum bus, overheads, parallel, etc. It is great on mono instruments too, like snare, as well as kick, vocals, guitar, bass. Selling other vintage compressors see my other items. If you want a mono urei 1176 or LA3A style I have a 70s Urei BL40 modulimiter which is part 1176 & part LA3A opto. Also selling a Valley Dynamite comp. Very heavy and deep unit, will be double packaged. ships UPS in USA 48 states only, no PO boxes please.
