Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe Compressor Pedal

I can't say enough good things about the Cali76. It's extremely versatile, transparent and built like a tank. It's 'shiny kit' for sure. I can't get a bad sound out of this pedal. Origin Effects have some helpful setting suggestions that get you started. If I were to pick only three pedals for my board (out of the many that I have floating around), this would be my first choice. It was also shipped and arrived very quickly from Electric Mojo Guitars.

Nachdem ich bereits einen MXR DynaComp und das EHX ToneCorset ausprobiert hatte, mit beiden aber nicht so richtig glücklich wurde, habe ich nur sehr zögerlich die Entscheidung zum Kauf des Cali76 getroffen. Das war ein Fehler. Der Comp ist unglaublich klanggetreu und verändert die Dynamik des Gitarrensignals, aber nicht dessen Klang. Mit der richtigen Einstellung komprimiert er sehr unauffällig und erzeugt ein schönes Systain ohne die Anschlagcharakteristik des Tones zu beeinflussen. Das ist genau das, was ich lange Zeit gesucht habe. Der Preis ist zwar etwas hoch, doch ist der Cali 76 jeden Cent wert. Wer kann, sollte ihn mit 18V ansteuern. Sollte der Kompressor mal irgendwann den Geist aufgeben, dann kommt für mich kein anderes Gerät in Frage. Ich werde ihn also jederzeit wieder kaufen.

I first off want to say that I love this compressor because the quality of build, and the sound it produces. I really wish people wouldn't say that it's exactly like the big Cali76, just in a smaller box. That is not true. It's extremely high quality compression but the bigger Cali76 sounds a tad bit more transparent and airy. This does have it's own advantage though with the DRY mix knob. It's a unique difference that means that you should do as I do, and buy them all so that you can use whatever fits your mood from day to day.

It is my first compressor pedal, but I'm really happy to use it. It sounds without any issues on clean. But when I'm playing with high gain, Some noises arrived. But I think I understand why: the thing is that compressor works a bit like a saturator and the nice coming only if there a really silent sound or guitar doesn't play at all, so compressor makes good saturation, but it trying to make the sound louder even when I don't need it. I think some gate pedals can help me

This unit is based on the proven UREI 1176. I have tried and owned lots of other compressors. This one is the best without a doubt.
