The Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor by Origin Effects is a studio-grade FET compressor optimized for bass guitar and extended range instruments. It features high-current, low-noise, discrete Class-A circuitry, and a dedicated control for parallel compression and sidechain filtering. The pedal offers a combined Attack/Release control for continuous sweep of settings, avoiding distortion artifacts in the lower registers. The jewel lamp functions as a three-color gain reduction meter, providing intuitive feedback to the player.
Key features include a 100% Class-A discrete signal path, ultra-fast "FET" response, studio-grade discrete-transistor preamp, dedicated Ratio control, Dry Blend control for parallel compression, and a variable-frequency sidechain filter (HPF) control. The pedal is optimized for bass but can process any source, with high-current, low-noise electronics, ultra-wide frequency response, and ultra-high input impedance. It also features silent switching, high-quality "signal-conditioning" bypass mode, advanced power supply filtering and protection, and flexible external power requirements (9-18V DC).
The pedal's physical specifications include a weight of 620 g (1.37 lb) and dimensions of 143 x 66 x 65 mm (5.62 x 2.6 x 2.56 in. ), including knobs and switches. The electrical specifications include an input impedance of 1 MΩ, output impedance of 1 kΩ, and a current draw of 100 mA. The power supply requirement is 9-18V DC with a 2.1 mm center-negative connector.
The Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor is designed and built in England and is part of the Cali76 Compact Series, which aims to bring the sonic properties of the revered studio classic Urei 1176 into a compact, stage-friendly format. The pedal is known for its natural, musical compression and high-quality components throughout.
