Caline CP-41 Reverb Echo Delay Guitar Effect Pedals True Bypass

I got this pedal for demo and review purposes on my gear page on a segment called "tone on a budget: cheap pedal edition". I ordered this thinking it would be a mess. Yeah I was wrong. Way wrong. This pedal is awesome! On first off its in no way a reverb pedal. It fails miserably in that regards but it is a stellar echo and delay pedal. If you're wanting like a strymon type reverb delay then you won't like this pedal (but you would fall in love with their snake bite reverb pedal! It's so good!!!). The echo and delay on this pedal has like an underlying lo-fi signal decay the further you dial in knobs. It's actually really really cool sounding if you're wanting to get into ambient territory. The main signal running through holds it's original integrity but the echo/delay underneath begins decaying with each repeat cycle so hence it really does sound like "ghost rain" although I'm sure a better name would go a long ways lol. This pedal has very solid delay up to a full second I believe. I would give this pedal five stars but it seems to lose sound clarity when used with a 9v battery and the only way to use a battery is with this little dongle they include that plugs into the adaptor port. It's minimal but tone purists would absolutely lose their pretentious minds over it. Me personally I think it sounds really cool and would make a cool under layer to a song verse. If I could suggest anything to Caline about this pedal out would be to add an expression pedal Jack and tie onto the time or decay pot. Rapidly ramping up those values sounds awesome! It's almost like a timing based whammy effect. Expression pedal add on functionality would really transform this pedal into something unique. So far I've tried out 3 Caline pedals for my gear page and all 3 were really great with no issues. I've actually kept them all on my Pedalboard because I've been so impressed with them. Especially the snake bite reverb. That pedal holds it's own against my Helix and big sky. I highly highly suggest checking it out.As for the ghost rain, if you find yourself in need of a solid echo and delay pedal try this out! I think you'll really dig it! It's definitely a bit different but in a really cool way. If you're into pedal modding add an expression pedal Jack, there's enough room in the casing, and tap onto the third knob/pot. If you're really talented at modding then add a selector and tap onto the middle knob as well for a really cool decaying repeat effect

Don’t let the name throw you, this is a delay, not a reverb pedal. I love this thing! It has a scary ghost graphic on it, and, c’mon, face it kids - we buy pedals based on looks more times than not. This is a nice sounding pedal, more than capable of helping you create gorgeous, spacey, dreamy washes of ambient swooniness - I can only describe it as a Ghost Rain. I am super-satisfied with my purchase. Valine makes some good stuff! The Americana Overdrive pedal is also a humdinger.

This is a really cool effect. It’s very cool for building higher levels of atmospheric chords accents. It’s not really versatile per se, but it sounds lush and full clean and performs equally well with distortion or even heavy amounts of fuzz. It can be prone to uncontrollably feeding back on itself if it’s cranked too high on a fuzzy signal though.My only reservation is that out of the 4 caline pedals on my board, it’s the only one that’s gone bad and it did so inexplicably after only a few days.To their credit, I received a new unit the day after filing for my replacement and so far so good with the new unit.

It feels light and inexpensive, and if you use a 9V battery it will provide power OUTSIDE the Pedal. HOWEVER, this doesn’t apply to me, I use adapters. It will color your amp sound by removing some of the bass/thump. BUT I LOVE IT! I’m doing U2, 80s sounding songs with that famous tone. If you don’t use the TIME (delay) knob, or very little of it, and you run your amp clean or with a dash of overdrive, YOU HAVE A PERFECT BLUES sound. Use the ECHO knob for reverb and FEEDBACK knob for a “Live” sound. This Pedal has me playing more Blues than the 80s sound I was seeking.

I'm fairly new to the pedal board life but I have already gone through several delays. My first Delay pedal was the behringer vintage delay (which I HIGHLY recommend), then moved onto a Dan-Echo, and now am using this. I gave the Behringer to a friend who was just starting out with pedals and now I want it back, but may just buy another (do not want to be THAT guy asking for gifts back), and I love the Dan-echo but it is a little large and visually does not match my other pedals much. So I tried this Caline pedal. My buddy has the Caline Shark Bite Reverb and I was very impressed with the build, so I decided to take my shot at this pedal. This Pedal is also a bit larger than your average, but it's visually appealing.Review: It has simple delay controls and creates a lofi style atmosphere. The control knobs are sensitive and the control is pretty great. You can dial in a variety of speeds-- however it just misses the mark of being an actual reverb. The slower delay speed creates an ambiance that is very SIMILAR to a reverb sound-- while not ACTUALLY being a reverb. SO I can see what they named it this. I give it 4 stars because it does the thing. It delays. But it does not do the other thing--which is reverb. Overall I do recommend just just slightly over the Behringer Vintage Delay. They are very similarly priced-- but I would probably give this one a slight edge because of the build and design. IT HAS SOME SERIOUS CHARACTER. The Behringer SOUNDS amazing, I truly love it, but it's overall appearance and build is simplistic. It feels cheap, while the Caline also being a budget pedal-- has a higher quality feel to it.
