Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor Black

The Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor Black pedal effect is a studio-quality FET compressor inspired by the circuitry of the famous Urei 1176 studio compressor, whose sound has graced numerous recordings since the 1960s. This is a box with all-analog circuitry and a full set of studio controls - the classic Attack (compression ramp-up time), Release (return to original position), Ratio (compression ratio) knobs, Dry Blend parallel compression control, and improved dynamic response (sidechain circuitry) that approximates the response of the original 2012 Cali76 large-format compressor that helped bring the Origin Effects brand to the attention of thousands of musicians.

With a 10-segment LED gain reduction meter, pedalboard friendly chassis and massive headroom thanks to internally multiplied voltage (24V), the Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor Black is a great choice not only for sound nerds, but all guitarists who want a top-notch compressor to hand within the pedalboard.

The Cali76 FET Compressor is wired as a buffered bypass. A 9V DC center negative adapter is required for power (battery power is not available).

The English brand Origin Effects represents another interesting concept in the field of contemporary handmade pedal effects manufacturers. 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 can therefore be sure that only a product that meets the brand's high standards will reach you.
