Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe User Manual

The Cali76 Compact Deluxe is a studio-grade FET
compressor pedal based on the UREI
®
1176
®
, with
features optimised for guitar.
1. GET CONNECTED
INSTR: Plug in your guitar or other instrument.
AMP: Connect to your amp or other eects pedals.
9-18VDC: Insert a 9-18VDC 2.1mm centre-negative
power supply (minimum 100mA). For best perfor-
mance, the pedal should be powered from an 18V
supply for additional headroom.
2. CONTROLS
IN: Turning clockwise will increase gain and the
amount of compression applied.
RATIO: Turning clockwise will increase the com-
pression 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.
ATTACK: Turning this control clockwise decreases
the attack time from 2.0 milliseconds to 0.3
milliseconds. Longer attack times accentuate the
transient part of the note, giving a snappy, percussive
feel. Shorter attack times will sound squashed and
even.
RELEASE: Turning this control clockwise decreases
the release time from 267 milliseconds to 32 millisec-
onds. Short release times allow the compressor to
recover quickly between notes. Long release times add
sustain to chords and lead lines.
OUT: This control determines the level of the signal
present at the pedal’s output.
DYNAMIC CONTROL: A fast attack time allows
the compressor to catch transients early on. A slow
release stops the compressor from pumping. These
settings sound natural and balance playing dynamics.
DRY: This control adds some dry, uncompressed
signal at the pedal’s output, mixing your dry signal in
parallel with the compressed signal. Fully clockwise,
this control adds 8.5dB of boost, with unity gain at the
2 o’clock position.
3. METERING
Red for no compression. Orange for active compres-
sion. The brighter the lamp, the greater the amount of
gain reduction. Yellow signifies that gain reduction has
reached 27dB. Maximum compression occurs around
38dB.
