Cali76-TX

The Cali76-TX by Origin Effects is a premium-quality FET compressor inspired by the legendary Urei 1176. It features a 100% Class-A discrete signal path and ultra-fast "FET" response, providing a studio-grade "discrete" preamplifier and rugged VU-style meter. The pedal is optimized for guitar but is also suitable for processing recorded instruments.

Key Features:
- 100% Class-A discrete signal path
- Ultra-fast "FET" response
- Attack & Release presets
- Studio-grade "discrete" preamplifier
- Rugged VU-style meter
- Low-noise electronics
- Optimized for guitar but also great for processing recorded instruments
- 50 hours from 9V cell in non-transformer mode
- Traditional Through-Hole PCB
- 100% Class-A discrete output-amplifier
- Custom-designed transformer driving a pair of outputs
- Unbalanced instrument output
- Balanced line output
- Ground-lift function
- Signal-pad for DI (balanced output only)
- Gain-switch adjusts level through transformer circuitry for increased saturation
- Voltage sensing circuitry shuts down transformer circuitry when powered from a battery or low-voltage supply

The Cali76-TX offers a range of controls including Attack, Release, Ratio, Input/Comp, and Output level knobs, allowing detailed control over the compression. It also provides a dedicated Amplifier output and a Line/DI output, with the Line/DI output being fully balanced and electronically isolated.

The pedal is designed and built in England and is a versatile tool suitable for guitarists, bass players, and recording musicians looking for high- fidelity, low-noise compression with no signal degradation.

For power requirements, the pedal can be operated with a 9V battery or an external supply, with an 18V supply recommended for optimum performance. The pedal also features an auto-shutdown function to preserve battery operation and a ground-lift function to eliminate ground-induced hum.

The Cali76-TX is a versatile compressor pedal suitable for a wide range of musical applications, from guitar and bass to vocals and studio processing.
