    I can't fault it. I have bought sold a comp about every year since 2014. I lost a lot of money as I was buying everyone's latest 'miracle'. The only thing I feel can match the 76 for quality of sound is the very recent J. Rockett Airchild Sixty Six. It is a take on another classic. The 50's Fairchild 66. You should compare them if for no other reason that the Airchild is about $100 cheaper.
    Both use FET's so you do get that sweet tube like vibe from either.

    I love Origin Effects stuff. I have the Cali76 stacked edition. I leave it on most of the time. Edge of breakup is my "home base" sound, and having the Cali76 compression blended in makes it sound fantastic as well as feeling great under the fingers. I usually blend in a good amount of dry signal, unless I'm going for obvious squish! I wonder if they'll come out with a stacked edition of this FET version? I'd buy that, for sure! This pedal sounds amazing.

    Man i want this pedal! Im using the Empress Compressor MkII on my guitar board. Its a wonderful compressor. I love how transparent it is to use on subtle compression just to bring out the pick attack a little bit and give my guitar a slight volume boost which makes my tone sound a bit fuller. I dont really like to squash my tone. It works really well for how i like to use compression as an always on effect.
    On my bass board i have a Cali76 Compact Bass and that thing is my favorite compressor pedal i have ever bought. Origin's build quality is so impressive. Theres weight to the pedal, it feels indestructible, and the pots have the perfect amount of physical resistance to its feel. Plus it looks so classy and elegant. the tone it has is just heavenly. Its not as transparent in my opinion, but it leaves such an amazing warmth and character to its tone that it has me wanting to try the normal version in place of my Empress on my guitar board. Now that Origin released their updated version i am sold.

    The only compressor pedal close is the effectrode PC-2a….in fact I think it’s better. Original effects makes THE BEST stuff. My board has the cali76 stacked, the m-we driver, halcyon green, halcyon gold,…the the revival drive compact….(that’s the best pedal I’ve ever used)….good stuff!

    Hang on. Let me get this straight. The company claims the new compressor has been redesigned to sound as good as their original discontinued model that's now reached an asking price on reverb of $1000-$2000. You remind us that you have the original model, don't say directly that you agree or disagree that it matches the big box's sound, and didn't compare the two side by side despite telling us they're in the same room. Maybe I should insert the corkboard conspiracy Charlie meme here, but it seems like a line is being towed in this demo.

      @@PeteThorn I don't think your video was nefarious. In my book you have a set of golden ears, Pete. There have been a lot of instances when I have played a piece of gear myself, and thought a certain way about it only to hear my experience confirmed in exacting detail by your commentary on that thing. That said, I trust your opinions on this stuff. It's just that I have a keen awareness to the incentives that you have to operate under as a UA-camr who is reliant on these companies for gear to review. I do think that a direct A/B is necessary if it is implied that this new pedal has been retooled to sound as good as the old ones. When I didn't see that in this video, and you didn't implicitly say you agreed it sounded the same it came off sus. Hope my words haven't upset you.

    I like UA products but I don't like them per se... I don't think that they take care of their products after the sale I think that I don't have an update for any of the stuff that I've bought the 65 the Ruby I think the connectivity is a terrible issue hyphen I think everyone knows what I mean when you go to use your PC your tablet or your phone and you want to change the parameters and you've lost connection it sucks. so when they put out a new product like a compressor or an improvement or something I'm leery that's all I can say I think they're a great company I just think that they need to have a better plan on supporting the stuff that they do sell and for that I am completely and utterly disappointed

    I hate to be a buzz kill, but this has to be the worst review I've ever listened to. Other than when you played the bass, you had non stop effects making if difficult to hear the compressor without the other bs covering up the sound. You know better.
