Exploring GREAT Compressor Tone on Guitar & Bass with the Origin Cali76 | Secret Weapons

Few truer "secret weapons" exist than the 1176. It's one of the most iconic compressors of all time for a reason and Origins long beloved take on this piece of studio wizardry is a faithful and well executed adaptation of this classic sound. I really do love this compressor.
