YUREI 1176-SF FET Compressor
Fast response. Classic punch. Legendary FET attitude.
The YUREI 1176-SF is not about transparent dynamics control — it’s about adding energy, excitement, and unmistakable character to a performance.
Its ultra-fast FET design captures transients with exceptional precision while introducing the forward presence, punch, and harmonic aggression that made the original hardware a studio staple for decades.
NAM A2 Updated
All Tokyo Studio Capture profiles have been updated for the latest NAM A2 architecture.
NAM A2 represents the most significant advancement in Neural Amp Modeler to date, delivering substantially improved accuracy, efficiency, and hardware fidelity compared to previous generations.
According to large-scale blind listening tests, A2 consistently achieved results that are extremely difficult to distinguish from the original hardware.

- Compression adds forward presence without losing clarity
- Heavy settings create classic 1176 aggression and excitement
- All Button configurations deliver explosive vintage character
Audio Demo
Compare the original hardware signal and the NAM profile across a range of sources — vocals, drums, bass, guitars, and more.
Each example demonstrates how closely the profile captures the compression behavior, harmonic character, and transient response of the hardware.
The NAM and hardware samples are gain-matched to allow for a more accurate evaluation of the capture’s fidelity.
For additional context, a dry (unprocessed) version is also included.
The hardware used for this comparison is a single-channel unit; therefore, these demos are presented in mono to reflect its original character.
The NAM profiles themselves support full stereo operation when used on a stereo track.
Why this capture is different
- Multiple compression intensities and timing variations captured
- Classic 1176 behaviors ranging from subtle leveling to extreme limiting
- Consistent calibration across all profiles
- Designed for vocals, drums, parallel processing, and mix buss applications
Waveform Comparison (Hardware vs NAM)
Below is a direct comparison between the original hardware signal and the NAM profile output.
This visualization highlights how accurately the compression behavior, transient shaping, and harmonic character are preserved.
Technical notes
- Format: NAM (.nam)
- Sample Rate: 48kHz
- Capture Type: Real hardware
- Calibration: Studio-level gain staging
Gain Staging Advice
Our captures are pre-calibrated at -18 dBFS input level.
For best results, we recommend feeding the plugin with an input signal close to -18 dBFS.
Due to compression and harmonic enhancement, some profiles may appear louder or more aggressive during evaluation.
Please level-match carefully when comparing profiles to better judge compression character rather than perceived loudness.
