Meet Your New Comprehensive Bass Compressor Pedal The ultra-fat yet articulate bass sounds of your favorite recordings can be a challenge to replicate live. Sculpted studio sounds owe a good chunk of their essence to outboard compressors — rackmounted units that typically carry hefty price tags. The boutique builders at Origin Effects place comparable studio-grade compression at your feet with the pedalboard-friendly Cali76 Bass compressor pedal! Based on an iconic FET compressor and freshly re-tooled for greater headroom, the Cali76 offers comprehensive parameters, including Input and Output level controls, Ratio, and Attack/Release. Additionally, Sweetwater bassists find the sidechain highpass filter compresses highs while leaving lower frequencies untouched, an excellent way to tame transients while retaining a thick bottom end. The invaluable Dry blend knob enables you to hit the compressor hard to beef up your mids and add sustain, then fold it under the uncompressed signal to keep your dynamics
