The Cali76 Bass Compressor is a studio-grade FET
compressor pedal inspired by the UREI

,
with features optimised for bass guitar.
1. GET CONNECTED
INSTR - Plug in your bass or other instrument.
AMP - Connect to your amp or modeller.
9VDC - Insert 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative
power supply (minimum 200mA). The pedal
automatically increases the voltage internally to 24V
for higher headroom.
2. CONTROLS
IN - Turning clockwise will increase signal level and
the amount of compression applied.
OUT - This control determines the level of the
compressed signal present at the pedal’s output.
ATT/REL - This control adjusts the attack and
release simultaneously, o ering the most musical
settings. Fully counterclockwise, fast ATTACK
combined with slow RELEASE. Fully clockwise,
slow ATTACK combined with fast RELEASE.
RATIO - Turning clockwise will increase the
compression ratio, adjusting the amount of gain
reduction applied to your compressed signal.
This control o ers a minimum ratio of 4:1 and a
maximum ratio of 20:1.
HPF - Low frequencies in a bass guitar’s signal can
overwhelm compressors, resulting in excessive
compression. Turning clockwise sweeps this
high pass fi lter from 0Hz to 400Hz, allowing the
compressor to only react to higher frequencies,
such as picking hand attack.
DRY - This control adds dry, uncompressed
signal at the pedal’s output in parallel with the
compressed signal. For consistent output volume,
balance this with the OUT control. Fully clockwise,
this control adds 9dB of boost, with unity gain at
the 2 o’clock position.
3. METERING
The 10-LED gain reduction meter gives you an
accurate visual indication of how the compression
circuit is behaving. Once the signal exceeds the
threshold, the LEDs will begin to illuminate. The
gain reduction meter shows how much your signal
is being compressed, and how the compressor is
reacting.

TIP: The Cali76 is capable of natural sound-
ing compression even with high levels of gain
reduction, be sure to experiment with a range of
settings.
