Description:To celebrate the milestone of 10,000 Cali76 Compact Deluxe pedals, we are excited to announce a limited reissue of the original Cali76-TX compressor pedal.This version of the Cali76 features an additional Class-A transistor stage driving a high-spec output transformer, plus a balanced line/DI output to add extra versatility in the studio and on stage. Choose between our custom iron-core transformer or a top-of-the-line Lundahl transformer.When we launched the Cali76 back in 2012, it was, and still is, like nothing else on the market. With its large, brushed aluminium enclosure, studio-grade circuitry and astonishingly transparent sound, the Cali76 broke the mould in every department.Though the award-winning Compact Deluxe has replaced the original large-format Cali76, packing exactly the same circuit topology and peerless performance into a smaller enclosure, the original transformer-equipped models remain highly sought-after by players, producers and collectors alike.Key Features: Ratio, Attack, Release, Input/Comp and Output controls 12-stage LED gain-reduction meter Custom-wound iron core (TX) Amplifier output plus independent balanced line/DI output with pad and ground lift options High/Low gain switch for transformer saturation Technical Specifications: 100% Class-A discrete signal path Ultra fast “FET” response Attack & Release controls Studio-grade “discrete” preamplifier Rugged VU-style meter Low noise electronics Class-A discrete output-amplifier driving transformer Dual, low-impedance outputs (via audio transformer) Unbalanced instrument-level output Balanced Line-DI output* Ground-lift function to eliminate ground induced hum Gain-switch adjusts transformer saturation Auto-Shutdown – preserves battery operation PSU Spec. Min: 13mA @ 9V / 72mA @ 18V (PSU not included) Suggested PSU Rating: 200mA for optimum start-up Designed and built in England *Please note that output signal level does not conform to the +4dBm professional studio convention, and so some additional amplification may be required.Specifications: Weight 1150 g Dimensions 161 × 205 × 71 mm Transformer Type Custom Iron Core – Studio Grade with Mild Core Saturation, Lundahl – Mastering Grade for Ultra Flat Response
