    Origin Effects Cali76 CB V2

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by bassace97

    Just seen this in a thread on TB, looks like Thomann let slip that there is a new version of the Cali76 Compact Bass on the way.

    Fixes all the (very minor) gripes I have with mine, being its a bit too tall and the metering was rather basic. I'd imagine it will sound the same though.

    Blimey! Good job I got mine when I did! I just pre-ordered a 210 and 115 from there, need to move on my Aguilar kit first!

    … one thing stopping me going for one of these is all the above unfortunately. 

    Despite all the reports of the failures it's a very small number that actually fail - there are plenty of these in touring use that take a lot of abuse that are over 10 years old now and absolutely fine - If you got one new now I think you'd be fine.

    So it seems to me there are two separate common problems with these compressors:

     

    1.  Failed output TLC2262 Op amp.  Symptoms are the pedal looks to be working correctly with the gain reduction LEDs working, but with no output when the pedal is engaged. fixed just by swapping the output op amp normally, tricky without SMD soldering equipment but doable.

    2. Failed ratio switch.  All gain LEDs stay on permanently instead of going off after a few seconds of turning on.  Fixed by replacing the ratio switch as mentioned by @fretbass.

    Great basses. I have the exact same one though I swapped the pickguard for a white one purely for cosmetic / vanity reasons!

    Yes - the La Bella mustang set are brilliant - not thuddy and dead at all - surprisingly musical, smooth and warm on mine. 
    I’m well jealous you’ve got a hard case that fits yours tho! What is it?

    Hadnt considered white, bet that looks stunning! This one is a 2008 Made in Japan, and from what I can see these all came with a black Fender hardcase. 

    A fellow basschatter actually offered me a set of Labella Mustang strings, can't wait for them to arrive.

    I'm considering swapping the stock pickup for a Nordstrand NM4, DO you have any experience with these?

    Absolutely awesome, really pleased with it, I used the GS412 with it as the Bassman cab pretty much fills the load area of my car.  I’d been mulling over getting a valve amp for a while and almost pulled the trigger on a SVT - this thing goes into overdrive and just sounds like I was hoping and wanting it to, yes it’s super heavy at 76lbs, almost double the weight of my DB750 (and that’s pretty heavy at 46lbs) but totally worth the effort😊👍🏻🤘

    What is the tone like compared to an SVT? I see these come up from time to time and I've always been intrigued by them.  Don't see many big bands using these, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Doves.
