Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Black

The English brand Origin Effects represents another interesting concept in the field of contemporary manufacturers of hand made pedal effects. Unlike many other products, Origin Effects pedal effects do not refer to the past and boutique design, but reflect the needs of contemporary musicians in terms of functionality and durability. Each product undergoes a complex process (from hand soldering and assembling the individual components, calibration with an audio analyzer, fitting them into a durable brushed steel chassis, testing the final product with a guitar/bass, to an output check confirmed by a handwritten serial number on the box). You will be assured that only a product that meets the brand's high standards will reach you.

The Cali76 Bass Compressor is an improved version of the popular Compact Bass. It 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 give your tone natural musical compression. 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.

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.
