The Urei 1178 is pretty much a stereo version of the 1176... a classic stereo compressor/limiter - From an interview ith Bob Clearmountain:
Clearmountain deems the SSL 'an obvious favorite', as is the Pultec EQP1A3.
"I don’t have [UREI] 1176’s but I do have 1178’s, which are virtually the same except for the fact that they’re stereo units. I also like the LA3A very much, which is a completely different sound from the 1176. To me, the LA3A is a lot more transparent on a vocal, so you’re not as aware of the compression. With the 1176 or 1178 you hear the compression. It’s more of an effect, and I like that for drums."
