UA has a line-up now of some pretty awesome pedals built with high-quality components and advanced DSP algorithms to provide a wide range of vintage and modern effects with exceptional sound quality. I’ve been wanting to check them out so when Universal Audio reached out and wanted me to check out the MAX Compressor pedal which models the 1176 compressor and the LA-2A compressor I said hell yes..
Check out the pedal here! – https://bit.ly/408ZFgp

What were you thinking? Dude, you're thinking you made a dope track! Definitely putting this pedal on my wish list!
Cool cool I've been wanting a UA product and I've been wanting to compress some live vocals and drums in my jams. Reserved on zzounds.
That track at the end was something else
Love the MAX, it's going to be fun supporting at work! 🙂
2 things :
– I’m not really into house music but everytime i listen to your videos it’s like you take us with you, going for a trip where you just explain us anything you want with so much passion and excitement.
– I’m still soooo impressed by your speed typing on the Digitakt, making me feel when I was younger and I was waking up my parents because of the keyboard noise I was making.
Anyway, thanks again for your work, reaaaally interesting as usual! Take care
I use parallel compression on drums. One comp with milder setting to get the main, "full" drum sound and the second to slam it and add color and sustain
Great demo of the pedal, thank you!!
Jeez, I was gonna hold out and try to get Stimmings Doctron Instant Mastering Chain, but I could buy this pedal today
This sounds like a great purchase! Interested!
Would love to know how you can make this pedal play nicely with the DT's internal comp.
To the finish line 🚀
Sick!!! Love your reviews!!!! Yo that compressor sounds nasty even over the phone!!!! Thanks again, beautiful stuff you are doing and greatly appreciate it! Inspiring as usual.
Bro use less ratio so we can "hear" it 😜
I know you know this Ricky but for anybody wondering the "sidechain" in a compressor is the circuit where the volume detection happens. If you cut the lows of your sidechain you cut only the lows for the detection of the compressor (not the actual volume signal there for reducing how much the compressor reacts to bass frequencies. Its a very normal thing to have built in on compressors and can be very useful if you dont want your compressor to crush everything when the kick or bass hits.
We need techno creations back bro! This track 5 sample – trippin me as fuck…)
Got mine today, green led never goes yellow or red…with major signals…any ideas?
I have one and I bought it with my own money. The truth: it sounds good but very very different from the original hardware units. When pushed hard they completely fall apart, the opposite to the originals which shine on extreme settings. No wonder why this is $350. Very cheap emulations is what they are and whoever tells you different doesn't know what they are talking about, they have hearing problems or they are making money out of it.
Love how you play with the kick and the bass, both eq and transient, to "sculpt" your compression. Think I´m gonna have to buy one of these pedals.
Double parallel compression scenarios? How so? Let's hear it!
Hi Ricky if you was to go back which would you say is worth getting either one or the other the ocktatrack or digitakt I won’t to buy one just not sure which one I’d get the most out of and I know you use both
If you're gonna say what this cost in hardware (and not some algorithms in a box) then yeah this should be seen as pure marketing.
They're clearly not the same thing. (not that it needs to that expensive either but that's another story, people pay premium for UA as well if you look at what it really is)
If you search youtube for 'kush parallel compression' there's an excellent video on the glories of p.c. 🙂
Sounds a lot more effective than my RNLA. Will give it a try
Filth at the end there. Makes you wonder about a real 1176!
