Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor - Secondhand

Full Description

Inspired by the classics

The Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor is a testament to the legacy of the iconic Urei® 1176® studio compressor, which has left a profound impact on music production since the 1960s. By incorporating the essence of this classic design into a pedal format, Origin Effects has made legendary compression tones accessible to guitarists and bassists. Its FET-based compression offers the fast response and musical tone shaping that made the original 1176® a studio staple.

Precision control

With its comprehensive set of studio-style controls, the Cali76 FET Compressor grants musicians unparalleled mastery over their dynamics. The pedal features dedicated Attack, Release, and Ratio knobs, allowing for precise adjustments to the compression characteristics. The inclusion of a DRY blend control further enhances its versatility, enabling parallel compression techniques that merge the clarity of the uncompressed signal with the punch and sustain of the compressed sound.

Unmatched clarity and headroom

The internal architecture of the Cali76 FET Compressor is engineered to provide exceptional audio quality and dynamic range. By operating at an internally increased voltage of 24V, the pedal offers massive headroom, ensuring that your tone stays clean and clear, even under heavy compression. This feature makes the Cali76 FET Compressor especially suitable for guitarists and bassists who demand the highest fidelity in their signal chain.

Designed for the discerning musician

Origin Effects' commitment to quality and musicianship is evident in every aspect of the Cali76 FET Compressor. From its ultra-high input impedance to its high-quality buffered bypass, each component is selected for its contribution to the pedal's superior performance. Designed and built in England, the Cali76 FET Compressor embodies the fusion of innovative design with the traditions of musical excellence, making it an essential tool for those who refuse to compromise on tone.
