Pete Townshend's Compressor Effects Pedals
Used on stage 1979–1985 (and again 1999–2006). This effect replaced Pete’s use of the Univox Super-Fuzz, which he had used consistently on stage since 1968. The effect is employed as a boost for leads and outro rave-ups.

Iconic guitarist with The Who, Pete Townshend, was after a compression pedal for his rig so his guitar tech, Simon Law, dropped us a line to see what we would suggest. Pete likes to keep things simple where effects are concerned so opted for the Cali76 Compact, our user-friendly 1176-style compressor.
We received a message back from Simon a few weeks after Pete received his new pedal saying that “Pete absolutely loves his Cali76”. Rock and roll!!
