Based on the prestigious circuitry of the legendary 1176 Studio Compressor, the Origin Effects Cali76 Compressor has established itself as one of the most popular pedal format compressors for guitars and bass and is famed for its studio-grade compression and sound enhancement.

The Cali76 Stacked Compressor continuous where the Cali76 Stacked Edition and SlideRIG Compact Deluxe MK2 left off and offers musicians the same legendary tones however with added improvements such as increased headroom and a smaller pedal footprint. It features independent controls for both stages of compression, each with its own LED gain reduction indicators for easily monitoring the amount of compression added to your signal. This versatile compressor easily covers everything from subtle studio-grade peak reduction, perfect for ‘glueing’ together a busy guitar part, all the way to full-on ‘70s style squash, ideal for funk and disco and everything in between. For a compressed tone that still retains elements of your natural dynamic playing the Cali76 also features a Dry Level control for easy parallel compression. Designed and built in the UK and made using premium audiophile components throughout, the Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Compressor takes compression to the next level, allowing you to use compression not only as a tool but also as a creative effect.

Key Features

  • Dual-Stage – The dual cascading series 1176-styled FET compressors cover everything from the most subtle studio-grade peak reduction to full-on ‘70s style squash.
  • More Power! – The Origin Cali76 Stacked Compressor now features a new circuit which takes the standard 9v power and internally increases it to 24v resulting in a cleaner-sounding compression with increased headroom.
  • Parallel Compression – Seamlessly blend in your unaffected dry signal for even more creative control and versatility. Known in the studio world as Parallel Compression, adding a touch of dry signal back to the mix allows you to retain an element of the natural tone and dynamics of your signal while still maintaining the ‘glue’ of the compressor.

Compressor Pedals

Compression reduces the difference between louder and quieter parts of the signal. It can restrain peaks, lift decaying notes and make picking feel more even, but strong settings also change the attack and add audible sustain or pumping. Threshold, ratio, attack, release and blend determine when gain reduction begins, how firmly it acts and how much natural transient detail remains.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Compressor

Narrows dynamic range by reducing gain when the signal crosses a level threshold. Attack preserves or softens the initial pick transient, release shapes the recovery, ratio controls the strength of reduction, and blend restores uncompressed detail alongside sustain and level consistency.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
