Has anyone else received their compact cali76?
I'm still experimenting with my CB. Here is the latest settings I'm using. I'm going to pull (and sell) my Duality and run the CB at 18V.

Kind of bizzare that so few of these are in the wild yet... but I ordered from Vintage King very soon after the release into the wild.
Still loving it!

I got one.... Absolutely love it! Haven't tried at gig yet but it's a keeper for sure! Gut shot for the curious...
Love mine so far. Going to keep my OE Cali germanium boost version though....
Guess what showed up today after a looooooong trip with UPS
I guess mostly because of the old myth that compressor before octave improves tracking. Plus I haven't found mild "always-on setting" compression to adversely affect my use of an envelope filter, and then having it first buffers the signal early on.
But the good thing with this board is I can swap pedals within seconds (there's a whole B team on the shelf by the way: fuzz, distortion, chorus...) to experiment and/or fit the gig. I sure will try the Cali elsewhere in the chain.
For today it didn't matter much as I was headed to a symphonic metal rehearsal where I use compression to squash to death my flashy tapping bits and tend to leave the funky effets turned off.
I run my comp before filter without any issues. Although, I also tend to turn off the comp when I run dirt and I tend to use the filter with some dirt feeding into it.
Hey guys
I've seen several requests on "how does it compare to a FEA DE-CL"
I realize tapping is not everybody's thing but I don't have the time or skills to go through every interesting setting and application of those boxes. Here's what I got.
Quite different beasts, though it shows much more in person than on a recording.
And since you must be wondering "what do they sound like in stereo?", here's the 2nd take with the DE-CL to the left and the Cali76 CB to the right
