Basszilla Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Dropped a fair wedge of cash on a cali76 tx last night to complement my pbass/matamp gt200 setup. Looking forward to having a twiddle. Any other users on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project_c Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 not a user yet but will be soon, let us know your thoughts on it. that price is probably the only bad thing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Agreed. Well expensive, but I desperately need a nice comp for my new band so decided to take the plunge. Will definitely post my thoughts once I've put it through it's paces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearfist Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just got one, had the standard for some time then the compact bass, both awesome but the TX really is rather special, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Cheers Bearfist nice to hear that. Wondering what the build/delivery times are like on them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearfist Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I got mine in a trade on here so i didnt have to wait thankfully. However when i was looking at a new one the Origin website suggested a 5 or 6 week wait time on the TX, i didnt email to check or anything as i know Red Dog Music had some in stock last time i looked so was going to order there to avoid the wait time.

Basszilla Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Cheers. I have emailed Simon to see what the score is. Was hoping to use the cali at a studio date I've got coming up in the next few weeks. Worst comes to the worst I'll cancel and order with red dog.

Basszilla Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Wow....seriously impressed with this pedal. Evens out my sound super naturally... It's a keeper. Worth the cash. High gain mode @ 18v is ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_sub Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 great compressor, super smooth action and difficult to get a bad sound :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I use a Cali76 in my country guitar pedalboard, and it just makes everything sound better. Also had good results using it to record bass, as it unobtrusively levels out the peaks that can easily run into unwanted distortion.

Basszilla Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's got a real smooth action hasn't it. Pulling 16db out of my peaks and you wouldn't be able to tell. Really holds you unobtrusively in the mix as well no matter what your eq. With my pbass and the tone all the way down it's still clear as day with a nice layer of warmth. Cracking piece of kit.

0175westwood29 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 did a little comparison video, not very long just showing of a number of settings on both pedals ranging from extreme to subtle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUVAirjScIE andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky8884 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Good job on the vids, I seemed to notice the CB to have a bigger bottom than the other, is this because you were using the HPF ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
