Origin E ects Cali76 FET Compressor
The Cali76 FET Compressor can also be used with line level signals. The 9V input voltage is increased internally
to 24V, resulting in impressive headroom. This means that the Cali76 FET Compressor can be used with key-
boards, drum machines and as studio outboard. It can be connected in the insert of a mixing console or used
for re-amping tracks in the studio.
Although the pedal has plenty of headroom for dealing with higher signal levels, the circuitry is still primarily
designed for use with guitar signals, so it may be necessary to lower the IN control to accommodate line level
signals and avoid excessive compression. This will ensure that the right amount of signal is exceeding the fi xed
threshold, and this can be monitored using the 10-LED gain reduction meter.
