The Cali76 Compact Bass is a studio-quality FET compressor optimized for bass guitar (as well as sub- or multi-string guitars) inspired by the 1176 compressor/peak limiter to provide natural musical compression to your tone. In a compact pedal effect body, it features a discrete Class A circuit with ultra-low noise, high input impedance, silent switching and maximum clarity controls.
In addition, this new model is designed to complement the Super Vintage Blue preamp.
Setting the DRY control allows you to combine the post-compression signal with a clean (dry) signal - so your tone gains the fullness and increased sensitivity of compression, while not losing the natural attack and dynamics so necessary for good feel when playing along the way. Another big plus of the pedal is the HPF (Hi-pass filter) control, which adjusts compression without suppressing the dynamics and articulation of the sound in the bass frequencies. The RATIO and ATT/REL potentiometers are also used to shape the sound/compression. The remaining controls determine the input signal strength (IN) and overall volume/output signal strength (OUT).
The three-colour jewel LED indication will inform you of the actual compression level at any time. A 9V adapter is used to power the pedal effect.
