Key Features of the Cali76 Compact Deluxe Compressor Pedal

1176-Style FET Compression

The Cali76 Compact Deluxe is based on the 1176-style FET compressor, a staple in professional studios. Featuring discrete Class-A circuitry, this pedal offers the rich, transparent compression that’s ideal for preserving the integrity of your sound while adding sustain and clarity.

Attack, Release, and Ratio Controls

For the ultimate in tone shaping, the pedal includes separate controls for Attack, Release, and Ratio. Whether you need subtle transient control for clean sounds or aggressive limiting and sustain for a more intense effect, the Cali76 has you covered. Fine-tune your sound with precision for any style or genre.

Parallel Compression with Dry Blend Control

One of the standout features of the Cali76 Compact Deluxe is the Dry Blend control, which allows you to mix your dry signal with the compressed tone for true parallel compression. This function is crucial for maintaining your natural dynamics while still benefiting from the power of compression. The parallel mix control was previously only available in the limited editions, making it a highly requested feature for tone enthusiasts.

Elegant Jewel Lamp Gain Reduction Meter

The intuitive three-colour gain reduction meter offers visual feedback of the compression level. The elegant jewel lamp lights up as the pedal compresses, helping you keep track of your levels and giving you a professional visual reference during performances.
