Caline DCP-03 DEVILFISH Chorus Delay Effect Pedal Dual Guitar Pedal

In the world of endless pedal clones, this one is a Timmy overdrive with a simple boost, and you can switch the order these go in. The overdrive here does the "transparent" drive thing, in that it sounds just like your guitar/amp, but with more dirt as you raise the gain. If your amp is pushed just a hair (as it should be, lol) this can give you plenty of gain for any rock up to modern sludge gain sounds. The boost gives yet more gain if needed. The EQ is usable - the bass gets woofy if turned up too much, but otherwise the two controls give you enough to shape your sound as needed. My unit came in pristine condition, no issues, and no popping when engaging the switches. Powered using an old Danelectro wall wart power supply.

UPDATE: This is so good I bought a second one for another pedal board! Let me start my saying I am a lifelong player playing since I was 10 and I’m almost 70 now. I love to use compressors and have owned every major pedal from simple designs to high end recreations of studio compressors. I record mostly with modelers these days so I can go direct. The tone I gravitate toward is a Robin Ford/Larry Carlton sound which used to be achieved with a lower power Fender Deluxe or Princeton being pushed with a dyna comp into a tube screamer. I have used many Dumble inspired pedals. This Caline model has a very transparent compressor feeding a Zen Drive copy. I was able to dial in very organic sounds for a pushed lead sound into my Deluxe ToneMaster and ZT. This is a classy looking pedal and has a boutique vibe. I love the purple led’s and they are not blinding (an issue with many pedals). The pedal is surprisingly quiet considering both drive and compression type effects usually introduce some noise. There is nothing not to like here. I just hope it holds up. At this price, consider it a gift to yourself. If you are looking for an always on compressor, this is transparent enough to do it. I use the drive to push and saturate my sound going through a TC Deluxe Combo 65 pedal and a Two Notes Opus. I also use UA, Tonex and Helix in the studio and their Dumble models are elegant. I think this Key West pedal will be a nice thing to place in front of my signal chain. This little pedal holds its own very well compared with major brand pedals the versatility of having independent control of both effects it super useful live. One wish though, please use silent switches. These things have a loud click when stepped on and you can hear it on a silent stage scenario or a quiet passage in the music. I wish companies use better quality switches. The click won’t go unnoticed on a quiet stage. At this price, no worries!

Good pedal for the value. Colors some pedals well and others meh..... I really dig using it after some fuzz and eq'n it to that 300$+ FUZZ sound. If your on a budget to change the sound of your amp this pedal also can help . Is it perfect.... Lord no.... here are some of the noticeable flaws: (1) It can get outside noise interference when too close to certain items. I noticed it with bluetooth stuff... made a click and buzz noise in the signal. (2) The gain side has a noticable volume scoop when used with louder pedals before it. Even cranked up It will drop some Db. (3) the switches felt stiffer than the other caline pedals I have purchased. For the price its worth the sounds your gonna get. and I have had a lot of luck with all the caline products I've bought so far. 4 stars.

I've been playing guitar for many years with lots of equipment and was seeking a new compressor pedal. The demo, assuming correct was the most impressive, so gave it a try. On my system, which is not unusual and could if had too, reproduce the demo setup. However, from what I experienced - that reviews that comment that this is a very "transparent" compressor and etc., - were correct as how I hear it too. It's more of an overdrive pedal, I would suggest and to my ear, there are others I'd prefer and do have - preferring a more fuzzy organ sound, or "compressed" overdrive, so to speak. Also, mine came with no printed material of any kind, no instructions to define more specifically what the controls do. New folks will have to look up these self assigned labels that many use for when an effect takes hold and releases, etc. Actually, I was not sure if mine had not been returned since that box never had a seal and the bag it came in, the tape was not really sticky - it was just the pedal in a light weight box that looked like it had been open and closed a few times. So, it's, as I hear it, a more "dirty" overdrive, and the compression is very, how to say, "transparent". It is there, one can hear a "punchy-ness" change - however, when I use "pinch harmonics" I get the same sound, so to speak, so had to listen hard - "what" I was hearing and from what was contributing to it. I hope that helps someone. So, the "for the price" comments, lol! - yes, for the price with the special adjustment I had as well one might give it a try, I guess. However, there's just so many other ways already to "do this" and step on someone's signal chain - this looks like a longer walk to get there. I'll add that, to me, the aluminum box felt light weight (cheap?) and the stomp controls, when checked the Nut at the base with my finger nails - could move. So, with the loud clicking and all the rest I had to send it back. I wish it did what the demo, I supposed got EQ'd to do? That more apparent compression with that Hz, tone is what I was seeking and did not hear in the other demos.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It was inexpensive and I have had very good experiences with this company. This pedal is no exception. It sounds really good! Value for money: Great bang for the buck! Sound quality: Very good sounds and control. Pedal quality: I've used Capone pedals for about 5 years, and they all still work! Hard to beat!

Funktions changed on my pedal without notice, after contact with the seller I was given a fair refound ! Good customer service !!!! The pedal Does a good job sounds just as it is supposed to.

Simple compression controls which I like. The two most necessary pedals in one unit. Makes my Short Scale Semi-hollow bass sound great. Super price for my low budget as well

This unit really surprised me. For the price, and Caline's reputation, I figured this was worth a try. This pedal is solidly built, I checked the board and everything is put together well - no loose or bad solder joints. The distortion side (apparently based on a Mesa mkIV distortion channel) is interesting with the high and low frequency gain, and it is easy to blend in a lot of usable tones. The EQ section can then shape that even father - or be used irrespective of the distortion channel. That's how I'm using it. I play through an upgraded Fender Excelsior turned up to 2pm on the volume knob, I use the EQ to pull out the mids and some lows to clean the signal up when I need to play clean, and the drive side is for when the I need something a little hairier than an overdrive pedal can manage. The only minor complaints I have is that it would be neat to have the "voice" switch Caline features on some of their other pedals to switch where the eq goes in the signal chain, but even without this it is still a very versatile pedal. My second minor complaint is that this pedal is quite noisy, but when I want this style of distortion I want it to be noisy - your mileage may vary.

I saw this pedal randomly when I was searching for a budget Echoflanger, and it seemed like it might fit the bill. I haven't used a real Echoflanger/Polychorus, and this pedal is clearly different in many ways, however, for the purposes I need it for, it does the thing. Radio-Friendly Unit Shifter's intro and other parts of the song work, and so does the doubling effect in Scentless Apprentice, and so on. This is the sole purpose I have for the pedal, though it's actually two pedals in one, so I have to turn on the chorus side and the delay side separately. I plan to 3D print a bridge between the two switches so I can just stomp on that and have it toggle both at the same time.

Me llegó fallo de un led, pero suena bien, cumple por el precio con otros de su misma gama
