Maker: Origin Effects Model: Cali76 Compact Deluxe Condition: New Description: Studio CALI76 FET COMPRESSOR The Benchmark For Studio Compression The Cali76 FET Compressor is a studio-grade compressor pedal inspired by the world-famous Urei® 1176® studio compressor, heard on many of the greatest studio recordings since the 1960s. The Cali76 FET Compressor uses uncompromising all-analogue circuitry to make these distinctive, ultra-fast FET compression tones available to the modern guitarist. The latest in a long lineage of Cali76 compressors, the Cali76 FET Compressor features a full set of studio-style controls, a DRY knob for parallel compression and an improved sidechain that matches the response of our sought-after “large format” Cali76 – the pedal that put Origin Effects on the map back in 2012. With a 10-LED gain reduction meter, a pedalboard friendly enclosure and massive headroom thanks to internally increased voltage, the Cali76 FET Compressor marks the culmination of over a decade of experience making the world’s finest compressor pedals. FEATURES LIST: All-analogue signal path Ultra-fast FET compression 1176®-inspired circuitry Dedicated Attack, Release and Ratio controls Dry Blend control for parallel compression 10-LED bar graph gain reduction meter Voltage increased internally to 24V for high headroom Optimised for guitar, compatible with line-level signals Improved dynamic response matches large format Cali76 High-quality buffered bypass Premium components throughout Designed and built in England THE DETAILS: Nothing comes close to the ultra-fast response of a great, all-analogue FET Compressor. With the perfect balance of character and clarity, and a full set of studio-style controls, this pedal serves up the studio-grade compression that Origin Effects built its reputation on. In fact, the Cali76 FET Compressor’s sidechain has been tweaked to match the rare and desirable “large format” Cali76 from 2012, giving it even more punch and clarity. It wouldn’t be a modern compressor pedal without a DRY control, allowing you to achieve parallel compression without the need for any extra gear. Parallel compression is a popular studio technique that mixes heavy compression with the natural dynamics of your dry signal. The DRY control on the Cali76 FET Compressor lets you do this on your pedal board, getting you the perfect blend of presence, sustain and articulation. Great compression needs great headroom and this pedal has plenty. Voltages are increased internally to 24V from a standard 9VDC supply. The Cali76 FET Compressor can stay crystal-clear anywhere in your signal chain and can deal with line-level signals from keyboards and studio outboard gear. Need your compressor to share pedalboard and home studio duties? No problem! Trust your ears, but trust your meters too! The 10-LED gain reduction meter gives you an accurate visual indication of how much the pedal is compressing and how fast. Housed in a compact, brushed stainless enclosure and built in the UK from premium components, the Cali76 FET Compressor puts the tone, versatility and sophistication of studio compression right at your feet. SPECIFICATIONS Physical Weight 553 g (1.22 lb) Dimensions 124 x 64 x 58 mm (4.8 x 2.5 x 2.3 in.) L x W x H - Includes knobs and switches Electrical Input Impedance 1 MΩ Output Impedance 1 kΩ Current Draw 200 mA Power Power Supply 9V DC 2.1 mm centre-negative Please note: the Cali76 FET Compressor is powered by a mains adaptor only (not included). We’ve dispensed with the usual 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high-current approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone. Origin Effects pedals are designed to deliver impeccable performance using a range of power supplies. We recommend you only use a regulated power supply specifically designed for guitar pedal applications as power supplies which do not have sufficient internal filtering can result in unwanted noise. We recommend the following power supplies for use with our pedals: Voodoo Labs Pedal Power series Cioks supplies Truetone 1 Spot Pro series Strymon Zuma Dunlop ECB-004
