LA Audio also made a single rack space, 4 channel, FET circuit comp called the 4C. The obvious differences between the two LA Audio Classic compressors is that the blackface original has 9 stepped ratio choices (off/1.3/2/3/5/8/12/20/30) and the later model 2 has 6 stepped ratio choices (1.5/2/3/5/10/20). All listed are FET circuit designs and will have a fast grab charactistic. The LA Audio Classic compressors (blackface original and later model 2) share a fixed threshold design feature found in the 1176. The KT is one of the new cheap 1176 clones, Warm Audio also makes one and they sound a bit different too. The 1178 is a stereo version of the 1176 but doesn't sound exactly like the couple prized earlier versions of the 1176 that are most in demand. All hardware compressors bring their own thing to the party.
