Origin Effects Cali 76 Bass Compressor

Description

The Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass is an 1176-style studio-grade FET compressor, complete with dedicated controls for parallel compression and side-chain filtering. Origin Effects have taken everything that was great about the original Cali76, added new features optimized for bass and compressed the whole lot down into a pedalboard-friendly package!

A single combined Attack/Release control provides a continuous sweep of useful settings while avoiding combinations that can result in ugly distortion artifacts creeping into the lower registers. Meanwhile, the elegant jewel lamp functions as a three-color gain reduction meter, providing vital and intuitive feedback to the player.

In addition to this pedals low-noise circuitry and fast, musical FET response, two special features lift the Cali76 Compact Bass above the competition.
