Very musical compressor!

TP - 10/05/2022

Just finished assembling. Very fun and easy to build. Very musical compressor, can easily go 10+ GR without pumping. Unless the most software emulations of the 1176's on the market, with added highs when compressing, this compressor actually smooth out the highs a bit, which I really love in this digital era.

I love this thing

I was really struggling to get transparent level control of my vocal recordings. My La2a clone was just pumping too much and it sounded unnatural. This thing completely solved the problem. This compressor is awesome.

Super son à un prix imbattable.

J'ai deux 5176, deux hairball 1176 et un kt-76. Le kt-76 n'est pas mal, les hairball sont vraiment top mais ils coûtent plus du double. En gros, je n'ai rien trouvé de mieux qualité/prix. Sans hésiter, si j'avais besoin d'un autre 1176 je reprendrais un 5176 (c'est pour ça que j'ai deux unitées, en "fet" ;P)

Great kit!

Great layout, great documentation, great price and of course the most important thing: GREAT sound!

Next up is an LA502, a pair of EQP501's and a CP4500. Based on this kit, I'm pretty confident those won't disappoint me at all.

Bread and Butter!

For the record, I had never soldered before I bought my first Sound Skulptor kit (CP5176). My CP5176 is about 2 years old now, and still running strong. I use this on literally everything I record. I am not professionally trained in the recording arts, but to my ear, this compressor is awesome. I am currently running it in series with the LA502 before it, and it makes for some really sexy Vox and Bass.
