I think most people know that these are made in the UK, and are now world famous.
Aim is to get the 1176 studio compressor feel into pedals
Sliderig uses 2 in series. My question is, for those who understand compressors and studio kit better:
"What is the different between using 2 x 1176 in series compared to one with a higher compression setting?
Is it because each has a slightly different setting?
I own this one: https://origineffects.com/product/cali76-compact-deluxe/, which is like the original large Cali76, with more mixing options on it than the original one
They have a new, smaller slideRig too: https://origineffects.com/product/sliderig-compact-deluxe/
The sliderig is intended for intense, electric slide playing https://origineffects.com/videos/

There was not much between them, to be honest, although the second comp on the Slide rig can give me umpf and added sustain.
he was thinking of the sliderig,
but I have recommended the CD Deluxe to him
I love having the option of quickly dialling in the second compressor for slide and for ambient, spacy stuff. I'd personally go for the Slide Rig CD as it's more versatile overall.
For acoustic lap it would probably not be a good fit. If you sustain acoustic too much it sounds very artificial, even though the SR itself is very natural sounding. For his purposes, he's probably better off with a general purpose compressor to reduce the boominess of the low strings and raise the volume of the E and B strings and add a touch of sustain. The Boss CP1-X Multiband Compressor is very good for acoustic slide.
I think sliderig on acoustic would be a special effect, something like a Daniel Lanois trick, not a purist acoustic player's style
I think he needs the pseudo-studio-comp aspect, i.e. the Cali76 CD deluxe
on recordings though, I'm a big fan of multibands
The differences between it and the Cali are negligible, sound-wise. Though the second stage is a huge bonus, IMO. It's the controls that will make the difference.

For my acoustic-playing mate, I think the SR would have too much gain, and the Cali76 has those extra tweaks available

as I understand
SR = 2 x Cali without the extra 2 controls
SR minus the second stage = Cal without the extra 2 controls
i.e. SR has more gain with both channels on,
Cali has more tweakability
