The Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe is an 1176-style compressor in compact pedal form. Based on a fully analog and discrete FET circuit, the compact effect pedal convinces accordingly with incredible sound quality at the highest studio level and a fast response. While the controls for Attack and Release provide harmonic settings of the compressor's onset and decay time, the Ratio control determines the compression ratio. In addition, the Dry control can be used to add the dry signal. Last but not least, the large jewel light in the center of the pedal acts as a handy gain reduction indicator: While a red glow indicates that the compressor is inactive, the color change to Orange signals that it is working, with a brighter glow indicating more compression.
