Origin Effects Cali76 FET Compressor

The Cali76 FET 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 FET Compressor uses an 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 FET Compressor features 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.

With a 10-LED gain reduction meter, a pedalboard friendly enclosure and massive headroom thanks to internally increased voltage, the Cali76 FET Compressor marks the culmination of over a decade of experience making the world’s finest compressor pedals.
