We report demonstration of a new spectrally-controllable device, based on a sequence of linear polarizers and birefringent plates, which allows to accurately and adjustably tailor its spectral filtering properties for achieving complete gain-narrowing compensation over ~30nm of signal bandwidth in an Yb-doped fiber system with the total gain reaching 150dB. The experimental demonstration was performed in a regenerative Yb-fiber amplifier system with controllable number of passes, allowing to characterize both signal spectral-narrowing, and as well as spectral compensation at varying levels of achieved total gain. This result opens a pathway towards 100fs duration multi-mJ pulses from fiber CPSA systems.
