Exploring GREAT Compressor Tone on Guitar & Bass with the Origin Cali76 | Secret Weapons
Few truer “secret weapons” exist than the 1176. It’s one of the most iconic compressors of all time for a reason and Origins long beloved take on this piece of studio wizardry is a faithful and well executed adaptation of this classic sound. I really do love this compressor.

How is the noise level compared to other OE compressors and compressors in general?
What's the difference between this and cali76 stacked?
Can't believe they still don't mark the knob settings, even on the newer gen releases. So dumb. The only thing I don't like about the pedal (but I dislike this **greatly**).
Probably the best demo of the Cali76 I’ve ever seen. When playing electric, did you find your go to settings to be blending some of the dry signal back in? If so how much?
Hi Mark! Have you compared these 2 new model against the stacked edition ? If yes, what would your 2 main differences( a part from the gold knob ????)! Nice soundtrack as always ! Finally, thanks in advance !
This vs uafx max ? That has the 1176 compressor and la 2a…deciding between these 2. Awesome vid
I want that St. Vincent guitar so bad. It hurts me.
Beautiful review, thanks!
What’s the difference between this and the Cali76 stacked version?
This is the most comprehensive way I've seen someone explain a compressor pedal, especially a little more robust one like the Orign Effects One. I've had the origin 76 and currently have the slide rig but never felt I understood exactly what everything did… but now I do! Great Demo as always!
I have labels on my Compact Deluxe’s Attack knob for the “Fast” and “Slow”. I can remember that the release knob is the same way… but I have never been able to keep it straight without the labels.
Damn these intros really make me pick up my guitar and record stuff. Right after that i realize that yeah i still suck.
That opening song ???? ???? ????
I’ve got a big box model they made 10 years ago…Cali76GP. Has a germanium boost and parallel compression. Works good enough for me.
I’m thinking your older version is now going in the reamp fun category ????
But is there any real comparison between this and the Empress Effects Compressor MKII? Would love to see a shoot out! ????
I’m torn between this and the Squish As for guitar. Which do you prefer?
I looked for the stacked version for a very long time(no more in stock). Would you prefer the newer version?
Obviously, there are advantages to the new version, but no duel compression.
Killer into ????
Mine arrives tomorrow, bringing my Origin compressor count to three… I know, I know!
Really excited for this one. Just bought a stacked edition a few weeks back, but exchanging it for one of these new guys. The stacked really sold me on needing a compressor, but think this will be a better fit. I might look at a cleaner/more neutral transparent compressor for other sounds, but loving the preampy vibe the 76 has been adding.
now you got me jonesing for a Topo…
As a guitar player who plays both guitar/bass and will only buy one im assuming the bass version of the compressor would suit both better.
