Great video, Ryan! We have a lot of folks get in touch with us asking about using our compressors as outboard so this is a useful demonstration 👌 Taking our studio-grade pedals from the stage to the studio is something we whole-heartedly recommend!!
What would you need in order to run a vocal mic through the Cali 76 (or Slide Rig etc) in terms of impedance, preamp etc etc.? Can you use the internal preamp? Would you need a reamp box insert between mic? Thank you.
@@JimmyDeveredepends on the mic. If it is a condenser mic that needs phantom Power, then you need a mic preamp with phantom power before hitting the Cali76. Of course also a reamp box/DI box. If you're using a tube mic, you can go straight in to the Cali76 after the reamp box
Those Horns are so Cool sounding. Must be a blast when you get to record some... for a nice change up. The vibe is awesomeness... Thanks for the fun video!!
Those Cali 76 Pedals are amazing! The stacked Cali 76 Pedal looks awsome as well! I spy an AudioScape 1176 in the background!! Rad! Can't wait for your video on it! Peace dude!
@@creativesoundlab Hmmm. What the heck? Try 'em both. What've you got to lose? The face-ripping fuzz might be a bit too much for vocals, though, unless you want to go for an evil alien or demonic sound.
Hey Ryan! What is your opinion these days about using compressor pedals for mixing? Any favourites as well? I hope the studio build is doing great! Love the channel :)
Hello, I would like to add a wah to the bass signal, so I can have the DI bass and the one with wah on it, is it necesarily to have di boxes? I mean i just want to send out bass track to the wah pedal and then from pedal directly to one of the interface inputs, let me know. Thank you!!
Awesome video! I wonder if using a cheaper, more common compressor, say, a Dyna Comp or Boss Compressor, would be worth a try? Lot's of folks probably can't swing the cost of the Cali.
Great video! Like all the videos you make! You inspired me into buying a Re-amp pedal. I came here hoping that you'd discuss how to compensate the latency. I haven't found a definitive tutorial to date. I understand how, but logic isn't so accurate. Also I noticed the character of the tone changed, as you said, less fidelity. An amazing tool to the arsenal :-)
Yeah one way to make sure the latency is correct is to record that clicking sound (One sample) and add that to your reamped track. Then line that up after record. But I’ve had good experience with the auto too.
Such a great idea! Do you ever have issues with the signal when re-amping? Sometimes I wonder whether there is a phase issue or the signal will disappear
Yeah it can be an issue. For me I always let the program ping for the latency compensation. In studio one there is a phase flip which lets you confirm that the signal cancels out thus when not flipped (Normal use) it is good.
Hello! I was wonder can you make a complete tutorial on how to "mangle" a clean signal (let's say, Drums) and then send it to a cassette tape deck (maybe like a nakamishi or tascam portastudio) and then back to your DAW? basically how to wash a signal with tape compression/distortion. do you need a reamp box as well? thank you!
Hmm, well it's not a guitar device, but those are most likely -10 line level, and possibly unbalanced as well. So you just have to use a Line Level Shifter by Ebtech to do it. Or you can build a cable and just use lower volume.
Have you tracked with this by chance? Im about to try something similar to this using a condenser mic into a presonus tubepre into an mxr m76 studio compressor into a di. Any incite would be appreciated. Your approach is quite enlightening. Thank you
You talked about having a slow attack while having the knob all the way down. Wouldn't that make it the fastest possible attack time? Am I confused? Sounds great by the way!
I'm wanting to buy a Cali76 for this purpose, did you try to go direct into the pedal without re-amping at 18Volt? The manual says "Optimised for guitar but can process any source." So maybe re-amping is not necessary? The manual doesn't mention line level though.
I have a bunch of pedals, but is this just for something to do for "fun"? I mean, I'm sure a vst would be better? Or is there really a difference? Am I missing something by not using hardware comp? BTW, awesome channel!
It's not necessarily better or worse. It's definitely less convenient than using plugins, but sometimes it's fun to twist knobs, especially instead of drawing in automation. And if you already have some pedals, why not?
Rob, yeah it’s gear you already have sitting around. I really do think that real world processing sounds better. Plugins are sounding good too, but also consider the cpu power it takes to run them. Something like a Reverb pedal could save a lot of cpu.
Creative Sound Lab I may try! One thing though. Throughout a whole record, how do you keep the compression consistent? I mean, do you just keep the kick drum level consistent on each song so that you are sending the same level to the comp? I’m thinking that it may help me from constantly tweaking during a mix. Also wondering if you put the stem on a new track or do you save it as a new take? I mean the effects before the comp will get printed too.
I have possibly the original line of origin effects cali76 pedals where I used the huge clunky pedal on tour. I seem to have lost the DC adapter. Should I contact Origin or where could I find a good replacement? I think I'd like to still use it in tracking things after my mic preamp or DI as an option.
How do you set the comp for Unity gain, as it doesn't have a line input ? I am struggling with my Cali76 Standard with to get it to the right / enough level.
Sounds killer at least on my source. Sortof feel like it’s one of my first “I can hear compression” self-awareness moments. Not bragging-lol. Just sayin
I love these videos about mixing with pedals, great job! How about trying the Effectrode LA-1A on vocals? www.effectrode.com/products/effects-pedals/leveling-amplifier/

Thanks and great to see you here in the comments!
I run my Cali76 CD with my Mesa Boogie Mk V and it is absolutely amazing... Can't wait to get a reamp box and try it out as outboard gear!

Thanks James. Yeah both compressors are different but still very similar.
One of my favorite subjects, thanks for making the video. I love your channel!!!
12:30 I loves me some "wakah wakah stuff". 😁
What about a fuzz pedal, especially on vocals?
Yeah that’s worth a shot. What kinda fuzz like a smooth fuzz or rip your face off fuzz?
@@creativesoundlab Hmmm. What the heck? Try 'em both. What've you got to lose? The face-ripping fuzz might be a bit too much for vocals, though, unless you want to go for an evil alien or demonic sound.
That’s really a versatile compressor pedal!! Great video bud!! Great band as well!! 👍🏻👍🏻
3 epic uuuhhhs in sequence at 3:38😆
Love your channel Ryan!
Haha yeah I’m bad for that. Sometimes I can control it and other times I can’t.
No slight on you, brother! I love everything you do, and fully appreciate ya❤️
I just enjoyed the raspiness
Brilliant thanks
Awesome, I just rewatched part 1 earlier today - what a cool coincidence!
Haha nice!
Well put ! Great content sir
Thanks man!
Nice vid!!! Although no vocals? :(
Can you please try out the Electro Harmonix Tube EQ
Question: isn't the input and output of the cali76 are mono? if so how did you sent the overheads in stereo? thank you!
Yeah one side at a time to get a vibe of the "Stereo" sound.
I love that rainbow cable spaghetti on the left of your desk ♥️ lol I'm messing with you I just had to! You always put up interesting videos bro!
I love a univibe on all kindsa stuff. Mine's the Villanova Vibe, but I'm sure others would sound great too
Wow I’ll have to look those ip

I know the dynacomp sounds really cool on drum overhead. I have a video of that somewhere on this channel.
Eventide H9! (I mix with them after converting things to line level all the time)!
Get another and try it on the mixbuss, you'll be surprised, Ryan!
Dude that’s a great idea. And the daw let’s you use MS so the stereo image isn’t messed up without the stereo link of a traditional rack compressor.
Behringer compressor sustainer is that even worth using in a mix?
Maybe. It’s worth a shot. That’s what’s cool about this. You can use stuff that might just be amazing for a certain application.
@@creativesoundlab with regular plugin compressors does the attack kick in over time and with 1176 it kicks in after the certain time with a curve?
Great video! Like all the videos you make! You inspired me into buying a Re-amp pedal. I came here hoping that you'd discuss how to compensate the latency. I haven't found a definitive tutorial to date. I understand how, but logic isn't so accurate. Also I noticed the character of the tone changed, as you said, less fidelity.

If I use the fx send on a behringer mixer do i need a reamp box?
I'd say try it. It's already unbalanced.

You talked about having a slow attack while having the knob all the way down. Wouldn't that make it the fastest possible attack time? Am I confused?
Sounds great by the way!
Ryan was right with how he set the pedal - the attack time gets faster as the control is increased.
@@OriginEffectsUK Aight, thanks!
Yeah in tradition of the 1176, the knob direction holds true. You get use to it being “More fast” instead of a ms of time.
Could I use the Radial RMP to put vocals thru guitar pedals in a live performance setting? Or is it strictly for reamping recorded signal?
Do you print the settings for each of these to a separate track once you find the sound you want? Can you try a Janglebox pedal?
I'm wanting to buy a Cali76 for this purpose, did you try to go direct into the pedal without re-amping at 18Volt? The manual says "Optimised for guitar but can process any source." So maybe re-amping is not necessary? The manual doesn't mention line level though.
