The Cali76 Bass Compressor is a studio-grade compressor pedal inspired by the world-famous Urei® 1176® studio compressor, heard on many of the greatest studio recordings since the 1960s. The Cali76 Bass Compressor uses uncompromising all-analogue circuitry to make these distinctive, ultra-fast FET compression tones available to modern guitarists and bassists.
The latest in a long lineage of Cali76 compressors, the Cali76 Bass Compressor feature a full set of studio-style controls, a DRY knob for parallel compression and an improved sidechain that matches the response of our sought-after “large format” Cali76 – the pedal that put Origin Effects on the map back in 2012. The Cali76 Bass Compressor also features our HPF control, which improves low-end clarity and preserves natural dynamics on the lower strings.
With a 10-LED gain reduction meter, a pedalboard friendly enclosure and massive headroom thanks to internally increased voltage, the Cali76 Bass Compressor marks the culmination of over a decade of experience making the world’s finest compressor pedals.
