The vivid tones of your favorite recordings can be a challenge to replicate live. Sculpted studio tracks owe a good chunk of their essence to outboard compressors — rackmounted units that typically carry hefty price tags. The boutique builders at Origin Effects place comparable studio-grade compression at your feet with the pedalboard-friendly Cali76 FET compressor pedal! Based on an iconic FET compressor and freshly re-tooled for greater headroom, the Cali76 offers six wide-ranging parameters and an infinite array of compression styles. Slow attack and fast release settings will gently corral guitar dynamics. Diming the ratio can usher in top-end spank; reversing the attack and release unleashes rounded tones with miles of sustain — perfect for driven power chords and emotive leads. The Dry blend control lets you fold compression into uncompressed signals for studio-grade body that doesn’t cost you a lick of dynamics or treble detail. Moreover, a new front-facing LED meter provides monitoring for the compressor’s performance, even on dark stages, while headroom improvements make the Cali76 FET perfect for active pickups and line-level sources. Of course, it’s all built by hand and housed in Origin Effects’ brushed stainless-steel enclosure for rugged durability!
