The DryBell Module 4 is a transparent optical compressor pedal from the Croatian boutique manufacturer DryBell, inspired by the classic Teletronix LA-2A optical compressor circuit. Controls include Comp (compression amount), Output, and Blend (wet/dry parallel compression mix) for transparent, smooth optical compression with natural attack and release character. True bypass. Made in Croatia with premium components. Used by professional guitarists who want studio-grade optical compression in a pedalboard format.
The Origin Effects Cali76 V2 is a studio-grade FET compressor modelled on the UREI 1176, built in the UK with a discrete Class A signal path. It gives the fast attack and punchy, assertive character the 1176 is known for, adding sustain and note density while keeping transients intact rather than dulling the pick attack. At light settings it thickens and evens out a clean tone almost invisibly; pushed harder it produces the pronounced, snappy squash used for funk and country playing. Attack, release, ratio and dry blend controls allow parallel compression that preserves the original dynamics underneath.
