1176 vs 6176

Is there any difference in the compressor between a UA1176 and the compressor section on the UA6176? I think someone told me awhile back, but I forgot.
 
6176 = 610 and 1176 in the same box

and to be technical, the 1176 is a limiter, not a comp...the best-known UA comps would the LA-2A and LA-3A
 
1176 is a fet based very fast comp...4 (well 5 if you count the all button nuke option) ratios..4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1..the LA2A and LA3 are strictly limiters (and optical ones at that). The only controls are threshold and output gain...

Cheers,
Ray
