Alternatively, the level can be increased to help project a guitar solo. This can be set in order to keep the overall effected-level close to the, dry (bypass) signal. The Output control simply varies the level of signal present at the pedal’s output jack. In this scenario only the signal-peaks are compressed. Signal level must exceed this threshold in order to initiate gain-reduction. Too much gain and the preamplifier will clip and distort.Ĭompression is greatly reduced at lower gain settings as much of the signal entering the compressor section falls below the compressor’s internal threshold. The guitar will become increasingly more touch sensitive. This also increases the amount of compression. Turning this control clockwise increases the overall gain of the pedal. The “INPUT/COMP” control allows the user to vary the gain of this preamplifier. Recording guitarists will find the unit highly useful for post-processing drums, bass and vocals. The Cali76 is a great performance tool, but is by by no means limited to this task. The core-size and material have been selected to contribute harmonics when driven by the Class-A, transistor-based, output amplifier. The transformer output stage works in conjunction with the pedal to provide the user with additional tone-options and connectivity.Ī custom-designed transformer sits at the heart of the output stage. The preamp provides gain as well as the optimum conditions for signal transfer.
Origin have also included a studio-grade 1960sstyle discrete preamp, to work as an interface between your guitar and the compressor. In this way it has been possible to retain the much-loved dynamic response of the original, whilst at the same time permitting a smaller, more stage-friendly format! The topology of the design was kept true to the original, whilst the actual circuitry was carefully condensed.
