The UA 175B and 176 Collection models two of UA founder Bill Putnam’s tube compressors.

The compressors add vintage character and detail to vocals, drums and guitars, and spice up synths with harmonically rich tube amplifier and transformer saturation. Ratios of 2:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 12:1, Dry/Wet parallel processing and Headroom make them easy to use.
