Urei Universal Audio 1176LN Rev. H Limiting Amplifier

Avg price: $3,040.57

Used for the vocals on Havoc and Bright Lights, as stated by producer Joe Chiccarelli in this July 26, 2012 Universal Audio blog interview.

I recorded her vocal through a Sunset Sound preamp, which is a kind of hybrid Jensen/API design. It’s a very unusual preamp; very warm sounding, but very fast and aggressive at the same time.

Then it went through a real vintage UREI 1176. I like to do different types of compression for lead vocals and background vocals, often I’ll use tighter compression with background vocals. All the backgrounds were done with vintage LA-3A Audio Levelers and a lot more compression than I would have used on her lead vocal.

She always has used an AKG C12 microphone. She’s used it for all her career so we stuck with it.
