The Cali76 Stacked Edition is a dual-stage compressor pedal, using two of our Cali76 compressor circuits cascaded in series for the ultimate compressed guitar tone. Based on the iconic Urei® 1176®, Origin Effects have taken this studio classic to the next level of compression and flexibility.
Open up a huge range of new sounds with independent control of each stage. With heaps of clean gain and compression on tap, the Cali76 Stacked Edition offers up punch, presence and limitless sustain, all delivered with studio-grade fidelity. This pedal will totally transform the feel of your guitar.

As well as adjusting the amount of compression occurring in each stage, the Stacked Edition lets you independently alter each compressor’s attack and release characteristics. Using these simple controls, you can easily combine two distinct flavours of compression–one to add sustain and fullness and the other to accentuate pick attack, or to catch any stray peaks. Max out both stages for a super-sensitive, ultra-sustaining “clean overdrive” effect.
The DRY control lets you mix your uncompressed ‘dry’ signal back in with your compressed guitar tone for true parallel compression, giving you the character of heavy compression while keeping hold of the natural dynamic expression in your playing. Either side of the main jewel lamp are gain reduction LEDs showing the amount of compression in each stage. These deceptively simple indicators provide intuitive visual feedback, essential for playing live.
Housed in a hand polished, brushed stainless steel enclosure and furnished with aluminium controls, Neutrik jack sockets and heavy-duty footswitch, the Cali76 Stacked Edition is at home on the road as it is in the studio.
