Super curious about the BLA Bluey. The Audioscape is amazing I’m sure! I think the BLA is going for a different thing. It’s recreating one specific very f’ed up 1176. Has anyone used one???

Bluey sounds like something I would name a soap dish or a little blue fish in a bowl. "BLOOEY!" is the sound of a cartoon explosion.

I'm sure you weren't trying to be but it sounds like a condescending or dismissive reply. I am asking as a professional who owns two beautiful amazing recreations and have experience on original AB revisions. I am open to a third, as I appreciate having options in every recording chain and wonder how apparent/obvious/bearable the noise floor is in this unit, if I were to try one. If you have any experience with other similar 1176s, please let the whole class know how you find it. As an example, there are other bluestripe clones on the market such as Hairball and Stam. If we were to compare all together, I wonder how we would find the noise floor and the trade off to get that 76ab tone. What I love about both the pro replicas and audioscape versions is that they nail the sound but 86 the noise.

I own several, I never meant to be condescending. I just work. If it's noisy I find a way to resolve it. Wether it be me opening it up and figuring how to shut it up or finding a remedy.
Sorry it sounds harsh. Been a bad quality of mines.

Have the bluey, audioscapes, 17, stams, the b172a ( which the 1176 on that seems to be the noisiest. )

Recently, built the Hairball 76A, have wa76 and had SA adg. I don’t find the HB76a noisy and do like the tone.
Am curious about the F now.
Ward, with your build skill, a HB76 might suit, if , by chance, you weren’t happy they sell on eBay for $9-1000 usd., so no real downside, just the build time ?

I watched the super long video with CLA talking about his 1176 and what is special about this 1176, and I guess just like the Avantone NS-10’s, I had a weird reaction to the gear nirvana marketing. I guess one can never have too many 1176’s?

I have no electronic build skills! Carpentry, ok. Guitars, pretty good. Cabling and the like, very good. Electronics? very very poor. I shoulda stuck with it.

The new one is definitely a tad darker. I actually guessed that WAS the older one, honestly, as I was listening. Figuring the newer one would have that little more sizzle. That said--if someone put some little like 12khz narrow notch up a little on the old one, I probably couldn't tell the difference.
And it's $799. I mean....the mix knob is a bit extra chromosomy to me….but, I mean if you want a nice sounding vocal limiter...what else are you buying for $799 new retail?
I want one.

I too liked the one that was a little darker. I believe that was the original popmann.

I prefer the old one, which is the brighter one...but, point was they were close enough I don't think it functionally matters a lot. Small EQ bump...same deal. That's closer than the difference in two any kind of compressor from that era IME. Maybe I could finally not hate an 1176.

After hearing that CLA used his Bluey on so many major league records, it’s inspiring me to try an1176 again. I didn’t really love them when I began using them a couple of years back.
I only tried the Waves and UAD plug-ins including the CLA 76, and the warm audio WA 76. To my ears they all sounded like plugging things into a fender bandmaster.
I think with just a pinch of EQ you could make the original and the copy sound identical.

JLM.. TAC.. the list goes on and on. Plenty of options these days.

Just listened again, the Bluey is clamping down a little harder than the original, but I actually like that more than the original which although brighter, has an edge on some words I didn't love.
BLA did a hell of a job here.
