I love this compressor. Between the high pass filter and the dry-wet mix pots, you can make it as subtle or as aggressive as you want. I just came across this recent video review - by far the best explanation of this pedal IMO..

Such an epic compressor, never want to be without mine. I don't know how they're going to top it with their new line...we'll see!
Just re-read the comments since they made the original post teasing some new knobs. They are working on a new pedal but it's not a compressorNew... line?!
@nshuman might be of some help Dave.What are the settings you folks are using on your Cali76CBs?
I don't have a CB yet@nshuman might be of some help Dave.
I knew one of you had one. Got on one inbound today! Out goes the Empress.

Any reason why you're getting rid of the Empress?I knew one of you had one. Got on one inbound today! Out goes the Empress.
I like the CB better. I do not have to sidechain a HPF with the Cali. PM me if your looking for an Empress.Any reason why you're getting rid of the Empress?
Nah, not looking for the Empress - they printed writing on that pedal that a colour-blind person like me can't read.I like the CB better. I do not have to sidechain a HPF with the Cali. PM me if your looking for an Empress.
I'm also not a fan of the blue lights.Nah, not looking for the Empress - they printed writing on that pedal that a colour-blind person like me can't read.
Why not just use white text on a dark coloured pedal like everyone else?
