Hello,

Has anyone researched specific components that are known to impact the 1176-RevD's sound over others?  Any components out there that differ from the Hairball Audio kit that result in a unit closer to the original Urei 1176? 

I am in the middle of building an 1176 Rev D for a university project, and am asking this question for research purposes.
 
Hmm. I think the overall "sound" that people characterize with the 1176 comes from the FET GR itself. The sidechain and how it attacks and releases.

Beyond that its input and output transformer and the discrete circuitry. Any FET clone will get you THERE. Beyond that its just splitting hairs...you might as well be comparing 2 different original units.
