How do you figure/know that? The release on the 1176 is somewhat program dependent, but I would guess that it is due to the detector circuit, which is modeled (I guess).It looks like it’s inspired by the 1176 rather than an actual model as the release time isn’t program dependent like the real thing. For guitar though that shouldn’t make much difference and it sure as hell sounds good.
Anyway, I am sure this is no more an 1176 than the optical comp is an LA2a. It is more of that general flavor of compression, and the new ultra fast attack time gets is into the 1176 range, although we cannot get all the way to the fastest 0.02 ms
