Origin Eects Cali76 FET Compressor
Introducing the CALI76 FET Compressor:
The Cali76 FET Compressor is a studio-grade compressor pedal inspired by the world-famous Urei
®
1176
®
studio compressor. The 1176
®
has been heard all over the best studio recordings ever since its release in the
late 1960s, and the Cali76 FET Compressor makes these industry-standard tones available to the modern gui-
tarist using all-analogue circuitry.
With a full complement of studio-style controls and the ability dial in parallel compression, the Cali76 FET
Compressor does it all, from transparent transient control to flat-out limiting and monster sustain. A 10-LED
bar graph meter allows accurate monitoring of gain reduction and the 9VDC input voltage is increased inter-
nally, resulting in exceptional clarity and enough headroom for use with line level signals.
Origin Eects has a strong reputation among guitarists and bassists, with years of experience making the best
compressor pedals available. The Cali76 FET Compressor is the latest in this lineage, incorporating a number of
refinements, including tweaks to the dynamic response that bring it closer to the now collectible “large-format”
Cali76 pedals that put Origin Eects on the map.
