Here is a write up on the 1176 / 1178 from Sound On Sound:

"The final classic vocal-processing contender is Urei's 1176 (and the same marque's near-identical stereo 1178). Whereas the 670's valves are smooth and warm, the 1176's equally fast FET-based design brightens the tone and adds extra edge and excitement in a way that has made it a fixture on vocals for many top engineers for a half-century. People differ in terms of how exactly they use it, particularly with regards to the choice of ratio setting, so it pays to experiment with this aspect of any emulation -- and don't forget to try the unusual 'all buttons' mode if it's on offer, as it is, for example, in Universal Audio's software 1176LN for the UAD platform. The 1176's enormous popularity has given rise to legions of impersonators, including hardware units such as Universal Audio's re-issued 1176 and Purple Audio's MC76, as well as myriad software emulations -- so this should be one of the easiest compressor sounds to get hold of, even if you're working on a budget."
