0175westwood29 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 looks interesting, seeing as it has the dry control im guessing its similar to the G-P version of the cali, if this sounds as good its big space savour! andy Quote
elephantgrey Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Looks nice, only thing that worries me would be the single LED. So either it has no metering or down to a single LED metering and nothing telling you if its bypassed. Parallel compression is a big plus though. Quote

lee650 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) holy cow!!!! and I thought I was sorted with my pwnzor its only the cali size that originally put me off a transformer version would be cool too. Edited August 11, 2015 by lee650 Quote
roman_sub Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) wow, does look very interesting. Agreed re: metering, doesn't appear to be there featured... would be very surprised if they did a transformer version, given the transformer circuit board in the Cali76TX alone looks to be the size of this pedal enclosure! Finally, would be interested to see what this does to the sales of current product line and the second-hand market - would everyone start selling their 'large' Cali's to get this one instead?? If not marketed carefully / is not different enough, this could cannabilize sales of older products. Edited July 27, 2015 by roman_sub Quote
Kev Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Expect a market place influx! The size of the cali completely put me off, this is a whole new kettle of fish. I am patiently wating for the Super Symmetry compressor release, however this tempts me greatly!! Quote
dannybuoy Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 The metering is supposedly a multi-colour LED, similar to the Diamond Compressor. It's not as nice as a meter, but it's still very usable if implemented well! Quote

Bass Pedal Geek Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Definitely have to take a closer look at them! Quote
Kev Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Available to order! Do I go for it, or wait to see what Darkglass come up with? Agonising decision! Quote

Agonising decision! [/quote] Ha! Yeah I know how you feel, I cant imagine anything will knock the full size Cali off my board but I'm definitely going to give the Darkglass a go, very tempted to give this a whirl too! Edit - Actually after a bit of reading on the Origin site there is a very strong chance this could knock my Cali off the board, it sounds superb. Hmmm..... Edited July 31, 2015 by Bearfist Quote

roman_sub Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 These do look killer, I guess I'm somewhat miffed at just having bought a larger Cali76TX literally a week ago, so, somewhat unsportingly, I am still hoping these smaller ones don't *quite* sound as good... otherwise I will be asking for some pedalboard real estate back, thank you very much!

Bearfist Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 After several minutes arguing with myself I just ordered one, might have a standard Cali76 going if anyone wants one.... Quote

[/quote] I should do before I let mine go, I have a feeling the sidechain HPF is going to be a rad addition, that was the clincher for me. Quote

Its been a difficult time! If its as good as the standard Cali and with the extra features this should be rather special, had to try one. Quote
krispn Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I'm still super happy with my Cali76-G. That bass version does look tasty but I just got mine a month ago. It's going nowhere Edited August 1, 2015 by krispn Quote
Guest FretNoMore Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I'd wait and see ... their talk about the deluxe version distorting with bass, and the demo video mentioning "an SVT vibe" with the bass version has me wondering. I personally want a clean compressor, though adding harmonic content is perhaps right up someone else's alley. Quote
Kev Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Well, I'm out of the running on this as I decided to grab a Cali76 standard instead...from Bearfist! Figured I would better spend the additional money elsewhere. Its bloody massive, but I don't need the space Be interested to see how the HPF influences the circuit (have no interest in parallel compression). Quote
