Battle of the Compressors — Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked vs. Jackson Audio Bloom vs. Sonuus Voluum

Here’s a by-product of my quest for the perfect compressor for my new pedal board: A comparison of 1. Sonuus Voluum 2. Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Edition, and 3. Jackson Audio Bloom v1. 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - INXS — Need you Tonight 01:30 - Some sounds 02:57 - The Cardingans — You’re The Storm (solo part) 03:32 - More sounds 06:49 - Pink Floyd — Another Brick in the Wall II (solo part) I had lots of compressors since I bought my first Boss CS-3 in 1989: rack units from Alesis 3630 to IGS Volfram, pedals from Moeer Yellow Comp to Analogman Mini-Bicomp. When I bought the Sonuus Voluum in 2017, I decided that I needed no other compressor on my pedal board. Then I started planning my next pedal board, found a 2nd hand Bloom v1 for a decent price; but comparing, I liked the Voluum better. So, as a big fan of David Gilmour’s cleaner, but highly compressed tones, I had to buy a Cali76: Gilmour played one (he switched to Effectrode more recently). So, what are we looking at? Voluum, Cali76 and Bloom represent 3 different compression technologies: Voluum is VCA-based, Cali76 is FET-based and Bloom is optical; all three have purely analog audio paths. There’s a fourth popular technology in compressor pedals, OTA (Ross/MXR Dynacomp, Wampler Ego Comp, Keeley Compressor ...); not represented in this vid, sorry. Cali76 Stacked Edition is a classic compressor pedal with WYSIWYG knobs; what sets it apart (and partly justifies its high price — I paid 333 € for mine new in Sept 2023, but many European stores carry it for 379 €) is the high quality implementation of Urei 1176 style FET compression, in this case dual (two compression units in series with fixed 4:1 ratio, which can be set to different attack/release times), with parallel blend option. The Bloom is basically 3-in-1: You get an opto compressor with parallel blend option, an EQ with three fixed frequency bands, and a boost, which also can do auto-swell (not from zero volume, but from unity gain up to the boost level you set). All three sections can be switched on/off individually by foot (EQ by pressing both footswitches simultaneously). Also, holding the compressor footswitch will enter a mode where you can select between 6 colour coded compression modes. The first four are different factory presets for attack/release times (you cannot manually set those times on the Bloom). Sixth is a secondary compressor, the gain and volume of which can be set with internal trimpots. Fifth is dual compression, primary into secondary. Bloom v1 has a sidechain input jack; in v2 (353 € in Nov 2023), this is replaced by a MIDI jack. You can recall the 6 compression modes and switch the 3 sections on/off via MIDI; the only MIDI-controllable paramenter though is boost level. The Voluum (245 € in Nov 2023) can do even more than the Bloom: While there’s no EQ, it features fully programmable and very versatile noise gate, compressor (no parallel blend) and amplitude tremolo sections, all based on a single VCA; plus a wearless volume pedal that can send MIDI expression, and a volume section that can do auto swells and clean boost up to +40 dB. Also, there’s a great built-in tuner and a limiter, which only affects extremely loud peaks. Downside: The Voluum is not WYSIWYG, it’s kinda hard to program on the device itself; but you can connect it via USB, and then get full control via the editor software. Check my dedicated demo:    • Sonuus Voluum – why is it the most un...   In this demo, only the compressor sections of Bloom and Voluum were tested. Bloom EQ and Boost stayed off. Voluum OTOH was in the signal path all the time, noise gate section active, and compressor section being switched on/off as needed. My compressor comparison results: 1. All are quality compressors, and quite pricey. You can get a Mooer Yellow Comp for a fraction of their price, and it is a really nice opto compressor. 2. All have visual indication of compression, which is cool; the colour-changing LED on the Bloom is a bit over the top, though. 3. The Bloom has a very distinct sound; it cuts treble, boosts low mids, adds a spongy quality to the tone, but cannot tame hard transients. It was not for me — sold mine after shooting this vid. 4. The Voluum compressor always seemed to me as the Voluum’s weakest part, since it also sometimes lets hard transients pass through. Compared with the other two high-end compressors, though (which cost ~40% more), it proved to sound almost as good as the Cali76, and IMHO better than the Bloom. 5. The Cali76 sounds really great. Which it should, at the price point :-) Signal chain: Reverend Club King 290 and 1973 Fender Stratocaster → Boss ES-5 → Kingsley Overdrive → selected compressor → Strymon Timeline → two Realtone JMI EF86 amps (Vox AC15 clones) → Sennheiser e606/e906 microphones → RME Fireface UC → Cubase.
