-USED- Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Compressor Pedal

Reproducing polished versions of your recorded guitar tones is a much easier feat with the Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Compressor pedal. Now available in a slimmer form, you control not one but two compressors in a single stainless steel and aluminum enclosure. This combination of cascading compressors in series is a popular yet versatile studio trick that offers a multitude of compression and limiting options from taming guitar dynamics to singing, sustaining chords and solos. The Cali76’s two compressors are simple to configure via the single Attack/Release controls, and the Thru control dials the intensity of the first compressor’s signal into the second compressor. Guitarists are especially apt to drive the first compressor into the second one to reproduce classic riffs from a particular canine-titled hit song. Finally, use the Dry control to dial your original, unaffected signal into the mix — another popular studio trick to combine your original, organic tone with the professionally sculpted final product to give your sound a polished, refined edge. The compression and limiting possibilities are endless with the Cali76 Stacked Compressor pedal.

A closer look

Operation of the Cali76 Stacked Compressor is intuitive, and it plays nicely with your existing pedalboard with its common 9-volt power requirement. Those nine volts then internally increase the voltage to 24 volts for additional headroom. The bump in internal voltage is enough to allow the Cali76 Stacked Compressor to be used for other line-level devices such as microphones and keyboards. The Attack/Release controls, typically set in reverse positions from one another, are combined into a single pot for a much friendlier user experience. Turning counterclockwise, you get a fast attack and a slow release, smoothing out your sound and providing a “spongier” feel. The inverse takes place as the control is turned clockwise; this is great for more percussive playing and precise styles of music. The two LED VU meters on each side of the pedal display the amount of compression or limiting effect that takes place when the Cali76 Stacked Compressor is in use, glowing brighter as more compression is used.
