Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass

The original Cali76 is a large, beautiful compressor pedal that delivers studio-quality 1176-style compression the usage of discrete Class-A circuitry that is true to the topology and design philosophy of the original. The Cali76 Compact Bass is cut from the similar cloth, sharing the features, performance and pedigree of its larger sibling, but with added parallel compression and a sidechain filter optimised for bass, all in a stompbox a third of the size of the Cali76 Standard. Like all of our Compact Series pedals, the Cali76 Compact Deluxe features high-current, discrete, Class-A circuitry for transparent, low-noise performance. We’ve got taken a no-compromise option to the circuit design the usage of only the most productive of brand new components. Rugged MELF resistors offer low noise performance and rock-solid reliability. Film and tantalum capacitors offer tight tolerances and superb linearity. Carefully chosen transistors biased at quite high currents yield a distinct signal-to-noise advantage. Please note: the Cali76 Compact Bass is powered by a mains adaptor only. We’ve got dispensed with the standard 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high-current approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone.
