Frequently Asked Questions

The Cali76's parallel compression provides a more nuanced blend, retaining more of the original bass's character while adding the compressed signal's punch and sustain.
While effective, the HPF’s range is limited, so extreme low-end issues might require additional filtering elsewhere in your signal chain.
Origin Effects' meticulous recreation of the original circuit and the added bass-specific features, like the parallel compression, give it a distinct edge in terms of sonic character and versatility.
