Dial in 1176-style compression in a compact stompbox! Origin Effects' Cali76 Compact Bass pedal delivers classic, fast FET compression ideal for bass guitar.
Overview
The Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass compressor pedal delivers natural, musical compression exactly where you want it, letting the lower strings breathe for more dynamic transfer and greater perceived girth.
Based on the legendary 1176 heard on countless classic albums, the Cali76 Compact Deluxe brings studio-grade FET compression to your pedal board. Recreate your favourite recorded guitar tones with high-current, low-noise, discrete Class-A circuitry and a dedicated parallel compression control, all in a compact enclosure.
In addition to this pedal's low-noise circuitry and fast, musical FET response, the Cali76 Compact Bass features a variable-frequency high-pass filter placed in the compressor's side-chain. With the HPF control dialed in, the compression ratio effectively becomes frequency dependent. The low strings come back to life, adopting an extra weightiness, power and dynamic response, while the higher strings are strictly controlled, preventing slapped and popped notes from leaping out of the mix.
- High-current, low-noise, discrete Class-A circuitry
- Dedicated Attack and Release controls
- Dry Blend control for instant parallel compression
- Fully sweepable Ratio, Input and Output controls for precision settings
- Classic jewel lamp functions as an intuitive three-colour gain reduction meter
- 9 to 18V operation, for increased headroom
- Tour grade, all metal construction
- High-impedance buffered… read more bypass with silent switching
- Designed and assembled by hand in England read less

I own 2 Keeley compressors and finally decided to try something new. This pedal is amazing. It blows them all out of the water. I cant imagine playing a show without it.HPF is amazing and creates a wide range of sound change, especially when used in combination with the dry...DRY is perfect for adding some clear sound to a compressed mix. Best of both worlds. ATTACK/RELEASE is set perfectly. If you set it more at noon you'll get a smooth compressed sound ... to add in dynamics just toss in some dry. It takes a while to hear and figure out how things affect your sound. It is a bit overwhelming because it can cover such a broad range of function and sound, but it's SOO worth it. You can create everything from squashed reggae dub to clear n thick compression for slap that sits nice in the mix.
