Studio-Grade Compression for Your Pedalboard
If you're chasing that polished, pro sound, the Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor puts world-class compression at your feet. Inspired by the legendary Urei® 1176®, this pedal brings the unmistakable response of a top-end FET compressor to your rig — all in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
Whether you’re tightening up clean tones, adding punch to drive, or bringing bass parts to life, the Cali76 FET delivers smooth sustain, clarity and control with studio-level precision.
Built on a Decade of Compression Pedal CraftThe Cali76 line has become a modern classic, and this version takes everything Origin Effects has learned since 2012 and turns it up a notch:
- All-analogue signal path: No digital shortcuts — just pure tone.
- 1176-style circuitry: Fast, punchy compression with rich character.
- Dry Blend (Parallel Compression): Mix in your unaffected signal for presence and articulation.
- Full studio-style control: Adjust Attack, Release, Ratio and more to dial in your sound.
- LED gain reduction meter: See exactly how your signal’s reacting.
- 24V internal headroom: Converts 9V input for massive clarity and dynamic range.
Designed and built in England using premium components, the Cali76 FET is equally at home on a pedalboard or in a studio setup — even handling line-level signals from keyboards or outboard gear.
More Than Just for Guitar
While it shines on guitar, the Cali76 Compact Deluxe design is equally effective for bassists chasing clean low-end compression, and for producers adding high-end control to their home setups. Whether you’re looking for the Cali76 Bass experience or a flexible utility pedal, this is one of the most refined compressor pedals available online in the UK.
