why is there no 1176 compressor in a pedal...

They're sending me the transformer version. That feature is automatically bypassed when using battery power, so I will actually be able to A/B both versions that way.

Great. Looking forward to it.

I believe the transformer option also comes with balanced in/out as well as a line level switch or something?

So I was looking at the 1176 clone kits. I came up with a total of $430 for the enclosure and parts. If the transformer version of this pedal is up to par, I'll gladly save myself a lot of soldering buy picking one up. Ping bongomania.

You have a balanced line out/DI with a switch.

So, it will be at least another week before posting my proper review; I apologize but my home and work schedule is just a nightmare these days. What I can tell you today is that the pedal really is excellent and sounds great. It can run on 9v from a battery or a standard supply; however the transformer only engages when you use an 18v supply. Unexpected bonus: it can cleanly drive any power amp by itself! What I am expressly NOT commenting on yet is how it sounds in direct comparison to the real 1176--you'll have to wait for that.

Can't wait to read your review (Even if I own the pedal and I already like it a lot )

Uh... what's that?

 

[bongomania]

What's what?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the pedal--it looks great.

I just put in an order for a transformer equiped version. I really want to try it out and want something that will work well for my martin acoustic. If it's not what I want, Im sure that I could flip it on here to someone who doesn't want the wait. Hopefully I'll see it in a month or so.

 

[johnk_10]

did you ever get it? and do you want to sell it?

 

[kringle77]

Oh yeah, I got it awhile back and love it. I actually like it more for my guitars than my bass. My trusty old boss lmb-3 just works really well for me on bass. I posted my thoughts in another thread......which I thought was this one but, must be another. Not looking to sell, which is odd for me.
