The Cali76 FET Compressor, finished in Brushed Aluminium, is a studio-grade pedal inspired by the legendary Urei® 1176® studio compressor, celebrated in numerous top studio recordings since the 1960s. It features uncompromising all-analog circuitry, delivering the unique, ultra-fast FET compression tones to modern guitarists.

The latest in the Cali76 series, the Bass Compressor, comes with extensive studio-style controls, a DRY knob for parallel compression, and an improved sidechain that replicates the response of the highly-regarded "large format" Cali76 – the pedal that put Origin Effects on the map in 2012.

With a 10-LED gain reduction meter, a compact design that fits easily on pedalboards, and considerable headroom thanks to an internally increased voltage, the Cali76 Bass Compressor is the culmination of over a decade of expertise in creating the finest compressor pedals.

This pedal, known for its unmatched ultra-fast response and all-analog FET Compressor design, offers the perfect balance of character and clarity, along with comprehensive studio-style controls. It delivers the superior compression quality that built Origin Effects' reputation. The sidechain of the Cali76 Bass Compressor has been meticulously adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the sought-after "large format" Cali76 from 2012, boosting its punch and clarity.

No modern compressor pedal is complete without a DRY control, which allows for parallel compression right from the pedalboard, removing the need for extra gear. This studio-preferred method mixes heavy compression with the natural dynamics of the dry signal. The DRY control on the Cali76 Bass Compressor facilitates this blend, achieving the perfect balance of presence, sustain, and articulation.

Outstanding compression demands high headroom, and this pedal provides plenty of it. The internal voltage is boosted to 24V from a standard 9VDC source, ensuring that the Cali76 Bass Compressor retains its pristine sound in any setting.

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.
