Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Compressor, a compact powerhouse promising to redefine the sonic landscape for guitarists and studio enthusiasts alike. Inspired by the legendary Urei 1176, this pedal packs a punch with dual FET compression stages and an impressive 24V internal voltage, delivering “super-squashed cleans, singing slide tones, and endlessly sustaining leads.”

Available in sleek silver or black brushed steel enclosures, the Cali76 Stacked Compressor distinguishes itself by housing two independent compression circuits, each with its own set of controls, within a more streamlined form factor than its predecessors.
Headroom
A key feature of this pedal is its enhanced headroom, achieved through an internal voltage boost from 9V to 24V. This allows for cleaner, more dynamic compression and handles a wide range of input signals with ease.
Origin Effects emphasizes the pedal’s versatility, stating it’s not limited to guitars and basses but also capable of processing line-level signals from keyboards and studio outboard gear.

Dual Compression
The Cali76 Stacked Compressor offers a broad compression spectrum, from subtle, tone-enhancing gloss to intense, “over-the-top” squish. “The Cali76 Stacked Compressor encourages you to use compression as a creative effect, not just a tool,” says Origin Effects, highlighting its potential to inspire new sonic explorations.
Intuitive Controls
The pedal’s intuitive layout includes a single footswitch and six control dials. The essential Dry control allows for parallel compression, while In and OUT dials manage the levels of the two compression stages. Attack/Release controls for each stage (Att/Rel 1 and Att/Rel 2) precisely shape the compression response. The Thru dial adjusts the signal level between the two stages, enabling users to transition from single-stage to dual-stage compression seamlessly.
Discontinued Models
With the launch of the Cali76 Stacked Compressor, Origin Effects has announced the discontinuation of the SlideRIG Compact Deluxe Mk2 and the original Cali76 Stacked Edition, marking a new chapter in their compression pedal lineup.
The Cali76 Stacked Compressor is available now, priced at £290/$419.
