What's on the workbench?

That's where the troubleshooting thread is

Ever since buying some stompswitches from AliExpress I get all their spam now. This showed up in my inbox today.....apparently there are a bunch of clones of the Cali76 coming from the land of banyan trees and ginseng plants.
Be interesting to see what it looks like inside......

The “Buy Now” button doesn’t seem to work.

Ironically call76 is a better name than Cali76 imo, since the two sans-serif l’s heavily imply ones, making it look like Ca1176

Be aware this is the Bass version of the Pedal!

Not suggesting anyone buy this, least of all me....I have 3 compressors already hahah. (But I'd build the heck out of a Cali76 PPCB project if it gets released

I will be really surprised if this is the actual Cali76 circuit.

I might have to buy one just to find out.

Hel-looooo….button not working.

It looks like the buy it now button is not working…

Dude, you're just not pushing it hard enough........try this link

I think I just bought 7 of them testing the button for @fig........

Wow, they need some of these..

I buy far too much junk on aliexpress (rarely pedals though) and the demonfx stuff comes up for me too - at least judging from their gut shots it's always seemed like they're one of the better chinese pedal cloners

"Handwired" must have been a bitch wiring all those SMD by hand

On the workbench huh? This . . . .

Still don't have confirmation about what kind of compression circuit it is, however the OriginFX guy who hangs out on reddit suggested it's not a real cali76.

In this case I think he's telling the truth.

I don't have the original in front of me right this minute but that doesn't look like the same circuit. First observation, the Cali76 is not true-bypass and uses an SPST footswitch with a CD4027 for bypass switching.

in front of me right this minute

soooo should we take that as confirmation on the BHC?

It still appears to be a buffered foot switch system????
To go to this much effort, it's probably for litigation protection????

It might be, and I'm not saying it's not some sort of 1176-based circuit (or even a great pedal), it just doesn't appear to be the actual Cali76 circuit.

I wanna know how many incarnations of the cali76 there are to know what is different about them???!
