[@colinchristensen6603]

Caline needs to have a subscription model where you pay a monthly fee and they send you everything they make. A box every month with 3-5 (or sometimes 22) pedals, that’d be fun.

[@joeladams2540]

That's actually a really good idea

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

@@joeladams2540 Yeah that's actually a decent idea.

[@OmamonsOfficial]

@@peteywheatstraws4909 yeah its actually a nice idea

[@AverageCitizen333]

I too like this idea

[@danielmiller2886]

Just an idea, but with the low price of most of their pedals, get three other friends to commit to buying one caline pedal per month. Each of you choose something different from ths others and pass them around once a week. You get to try four pedals a month and then you each get to keep one. If i had friends thats what ivwould do.

[@nstuey6974]

The video I needed. I just started building a pedalboard after 5 years of playing, and Caline is a budget goldmine.

[@SirYowdy]

@@nstuey6974 I like all of mine. I have 4, and want more. Of course! 😁 I'm building my first board, after years of just playing around. It's fun to try budget pedals to experiment with inspiring new sounds. It helps me to practice more.

[@picksalot1]

They all sounded very usable and I liked the unique artwork on each. Hard to pick a favorite, but the Tiger Shark comes to mind. Thanks

[@eyeball226]

Ahh, there's a couple of Calines I've been wondering about. So glad someone's done a comprehensive look at them all.

[@TedSarge]

I'm actually glad you did this as one super long video--it was fun to watch and killed almost two hours! I surprisingly liked the distortion/eq pedal with the motorcycle graphic, and I'm not much of a distortion user.

[@JonInTexas-88]

Old video, new comment. I purchased the Queen Bee a while back and have been impressed with it since I heard it on your video. It rarely leaves the board. It's always on. I'm not sure why you jumped to judge this pedal, but I'm glad you edited the video later. This is one of my favorite overdrives, and I have accumulated a few over the years that cost quite a bit more.

[@kentravitz7395]

i know i'm super late to this party, but i think you missed the beauty of the Queen Bee. i love it with the gain down to about 3 oclock and the volume up to about 9. I kept watching you touch the dials and yelling at my monitor for you to turn the volume up lol

[@peterwagner3398]

I’ve been watching your videos more and more lately seeing how the lower end pedals because I’m incorporating them more and more into my studio effects racks for sound effects and sound design. Even though you demonstrate with music, it’s helps me quite a bite with seeing how they sound. Thanks for the vids!

[@dnamusicchallenge5995]

This is a gem as well as the other affordaboard vids. Thank u from a 44 yr old guy here. Always wanted to go back to analog. Love d artwork / aesthtics too. Been using digital multi fx for years now.

[@darrellm3410]

Its like a brand new show with that Blue Background.

[@60CycleHumcast]

its got that new show smell

[@wvo2m]

It's hurting my eyes!

[@caerphoto]

I think someone needs to make a video on the tonal qualities of different wall paints.

[@darrellm3410]

Its a good study... which wall paint has better tone?

[@cardbored_]

@@darrellm3410 brown, if you want the “brown” sound

[@ZombieK1]

Watched from beginning to end. I regret nothing. Thank you!!!

[@shabangschmagoigal2091]

I would like to say that regardless of Ryan's assessment of the Mariana, I really want one. Based on this video alone, the "Hot Springs" setting sounds to me like a 1960s 45, like Phil Specter, with tons of room reverb, and what he described as granular, at least to my ears sounds like a Link Wray overdrive amp, there was a phaser or something that reminded me a lot of Tripping Daisy and Soundgarden, even the weird pitch shift tone has potential for sounding like a warped record. Honestly, the whole pedal screams Surf, Grunge, Garage Punk and psychedelic 60s, all at the bottom of the sea. I just ordered one, and I can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you Ryan. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I think the Mariana sounds awesome.

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Agreed,I think the whole new series is great.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Yeah, also sometimes he wasn’t tweaking the controls right. Like on The Bends, he left the ‘C’ knob dimed the entire time then was surprised it was too pitch shifted. The whole time i was shouting ‘bring down the 3rd knob!!’ 😂

[@patrickcomerford6153]

i love the new blue paint in the back it really makes everything pop

[@sleepwait9613]

The osmium and stack attack were my favorites. Liked the vibrato on the ultimate too. Thanks for trying them all.

[@matthewpreston1396]

Love the panel designs on these….plus that snake bite reverb sounds great, especially for the price. Gonna grab one for my synth setup I reckon

[@pedrohnqtoledo]

Im a big Caline fan! Think they always get things right! And the prices, man, awesome!

[@powerslave7876]

Reverb and chorus sounded amazing

[@ShawnShipstad]

The compressor & overdrive pedal is a good one. Thank you.

[@dapperskullcreations]

Watched from beginning to end, Friday night well spent! Great job as per usual, Ryan \m/ Also, my Cuvave Fuzz should be arriving tomorrow, and I'm eager to play with it!

[@ryanmurphyart]

Hey Ryan. I really enjoy all of the demos, and don’t care how long they are. Nothing is going to beat the Cuvave Fuzz, I don’t see it lol. The muff style one sounded great, but I would always just prefer an actual muff.

[@BlackheartChimera13]

Not going to lie, never been a fan of reverb but that Wonderland reverb, just WOW. So need to incorporate one into my rig

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

For Nirvana fans: the Caline Devilfish pedal, with the right settings, does the Radio-Friendly Unit Shifter intro stuff if you run it into a distortion, and it can also do the Scentless Apprentice doubling and Heart-Shaped Box solo stuff too. I wish I could turn both switches on/off at the same time, but I could mod it to do that. Or possibly 3D print something to join the switches together.

[@KFitzG35competitor]

Absolutely love these videos, im finding some of the afford a board pedals that I end up liking I can't find sometimes unfortunately haha. Though I am watching through them all and the ones im not finding are from years ago.

[@scottlalexander510]

Enjoyed the video. I just bought the Caline Old School Reverb (which wasn’t reviewed here) and really like it.

[@voiceofexperience]

It's my favourite reverb.

[@daverandall2801]

Hey Ryan, good work here, saves me a lotta time , thx so much

[@aftertheendtimes]

Great demo aford a board, after seeing this i feel that my G.A.S got worse =D, So nice & nice looking Caline pedals is, but Amazon is out of stock, in most of these pedals ;D but hope to get my hands on some soon, Big thanks Ryan you bring so much joy and light to this planet. Love cheers from Sweden 💚

[@sassycat]

Here for the rude and nasty comments. Will watch the rest of the video later.

[@dieselbreakfast]

Fart!

[@incredifunk]

Really like the beowolf or night hawk, whatever

[@DougMen1]

The overdrive side of the Nightwolf fuzz/overdrive is based on their Pure Sky, their best selling Timmy clone, and the overdrive in the Brutus is their Midlander, which is their Tube Screamer. And, the overdrive side of the Key West and the Mellow drive appears to be their version of the Zendrive/Dumble style pedal.

[@LeftHandedRightHanded]

The voice allows you to switch pedal order

[@yohanonshine4664]

Ever try the hotone mini pedals. I have the grass and djent pedals they were 30 buck about a year ago. The djent distortion has more harmonic edge than any I have tried. I use it for leads then use a metalzone for rythym,

[@Steeltoeshoegaze]

I got the krush . It's fun as heck

[@giovanniferreira2033]

Best review ever!!! AWESOME tone on recording, another videos the people makes the sound using digital recording, makes the tone like awful, but your video is a natural tone of the good speakers! I LOVED SO MUCH, you're the best bro! Thanks for this video!

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Wow...they sure look and sound good! 🤯👏🏻🎸

[@jrdoughty13]

Loved hearing the funk riffs with the compressor! Keep up the fun vids man!

[@charlesgrandt9012]

This breakdown is just what the doctor ordered, I was really enticed by a lot of these mainly bc the artwork is so cool. But especially glad you broke down the M-Fuzz as a muff, I was curious if itd be closer to a Maestro or Tone Bender sound by its "classic" label. Definitely going to p/up the Stack & Osmium thru your link! BTW, is their an affordable fuzz you reccomend for a Tone Bender sound (Who/Zeppelin) ?! (that's more durable than the plastic Behringers hopefully) Many thanks my man!

[@mindfall82]

I actually like the eq/comp...sounds killer for funk!

[@westpsmity]

Folks at Caline who were thinking they had you hooked for a whole series of videos: 😐

[@GuitarSafari1]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. Caline pedals are exellent.

[@elemkay5104]

You earned that thumb up. Even though I was mentally yelling at you to turn up the wet knob on the multi reverb when you were saying there was hardly any reverb on one setting. AND also turn down some of the wacky on the other settings. It was the one pedal I was seriously considering of the lot >_< I feel like pedals like those are just missing a guitarist to come in and really focus the engineers designing them and make them really useable. I love the experimentation and range of available sounds, just the implementation that is slightly off the mark somehow. I think they might be coming up with a few wallet-friendly Earthquaker Devices-challenging designs in a couple more generations of pedal designs.

[@Fatherflot64]

I was surprised that he liked the Stack Attack, since it was by far the darkest and dullest of all the drive pedals--- at least that's how it sounded to me.

[@Josbornevonosborne]

Caline is one of the few "affordable " brands that I have always liked

[@edcollins9377]

I'm a Mosky man, but this Tiger Shark kills.

[@thadlogan51]

Love your honest reviews

[@jasoneddy9111]

!!! Some people use an overdrive to boost and tighten a distortion pedal... Would love to see that stuff. You know with palm muted chugs with your baritone or something in that vein... !!!

[@jessiesratrods1210]

Thats almost Exactly how I use my Demon Tube screamer. I dial it in fairly mild on the 808 setting and then layer on my MXR '78 Badass Distortion pedal for the gain and harmonic boost. It really makes a tube amp roar and with a decent Solid State amp the gain is enough to throw down some 90s metal tones without sounding too open or flimsy.

[@jasoneddy9111]

@@jessiesratrods1210 I knew I wasn't the only one that does that. I feel like Im always chasin that special OD/distortion combo... and want to buy up all the pedals I can to see how they react with each other. Hence why I brought up the subject so these youtubers can get a fresh idea while giving me some info to go on... even though deep down I know at the end of the day it still wont be done right thus giving me the excuse to then buy more pedals that I most certainly dont need... but fuck it... I love it. Gives me purpose in this dark world.

Man these new Caline’s are impressive. Talk about updating a brand. I hope that these hit the stores quickly. Have no problem getting a few of these budget wonder boxes. Edit: compressors are some of my favourite effects. Especially the over the top ones 😂

[@andybungert]

Been more and more curious about Caline as a budget brand. My budget brand as of late has been BOSS :) $100 HM-2 does not suck

[@JeighNeither]

These are a huge downgrade tone-wise from Boss. You're spoiled & you don't even realize it yet.

[@andybungert]

@@JeighNeither check out the boss board series on my channel. I've been very lucky on a number of occasions. Had a fun Journey collecting over 30 Boss pedals in the list few months :)

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Caline have amazing pedals they aren't just clones they're legit

[@JeighNeither]

@@benjaminfowler4513 They might, but I've tried/purchased 3 of them, & they all went back. They are an entry level pedal, not a professional pedal.

[@JeighNeither]

Cool, you've launched a KZbin channel; I wish you enormous success! Don't lose patience with the process tho; it's going to take a while to get an audience. However, the fact that you're launching a channel based thus far on pedals, tells me you know what you're doing & have a decent ear (what do you mean by getting lucky?) & that furthers my belief that you'll be disappointed in Caline pedals tone wise. To be fair to them, the pedals I got were older models, they have probably learned a lot since then, but that's one of the great parts of having a channel right? You can find out for yourself, & turn that discovery into an video, which the entire community can learn from.

[@deanmlshredder]

The hot springs doesn't sound like a "classic" spring reverb but it does a thing. Gonna buy it for what it does and not what it's supposed to do. Sounds like it's affecting the pick attack almost like a compressor.

[@onionheadguy7094]

I probably would grab that fuzz if I didn't just splurge on an old blood alpha haunt. Oh this video is a year old... Im still postin

[@djay6651]

They didn't send every pedal. I noticed quite a few Calines not included in the box. Edit: Ryan has convinced me to buy 6 pedals with 8 circuits, and they're all Caline. The Dolamo D-8 OD is a reboxed/branded Caline CP-25 Highwayman, the CP-26 Snakebite and now the DCP-03 Devilfish and DCP-06 Sundance Boost/OD. I thought about going for the CP-50 Osmium distortion, but the CP-27 Sandstorm is the one I settled on. At some point, I'm going to have a completely Caline pedal board. The only non Caline boarded pedal he convinced me to buy is the Movall Phoenix Wings Tremolo.

[@GoCreateSomething]

Sundance Special was my fave through my monitor speakers. :P I liked the Stack Attack also but thought the comp was kind of pointless. The compressor seemed to change the sound less than 1%. It might have added something like a slightly slower response or something that I wasn't noticing? The power supply supplied power. Plus, the price is reasonable. Thanks for being enough of a masochist to go through all of those in one video.

[@dpatto]

The preferred overdrive in the Sundance special is actually the Orange burst pedal (i.e. exactly same circuit).

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

That Mariana verb.... the Trem mix. So good.

[@middaymeds]

I use the Mariana with a pedal effects loop to add more of the dry signal back in, its absolutely fantastic if you have a way of doing that

[@TylerLandis]

Has the Wonderland shimmer reverb disappeared from reality?? Can't find it anywhere, new or used...

[@Fatherflot64]

The Sundance Special is the Xotic BB clone, the Dolamon is the Xotic RC booster clone. The Mellow Drive appears to be a Marshall Bluesbreaker clone.

[@tommyfoley]

Great review. You chopped the video into chapters, how handy. Caline should pay you more.

[@60CycleHumcast]

they paid me nothing so more is always an option, lol. I clicked the 'paid promotion' button because they sent me all the pedals. and technically that is a form of "payment".

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

I REALLY love that Nightwolf as a concept. It's too bad it has that issue. I'd really like to buy that pedal if not for it's volume problem on the fuzz side that everyone talks about. Maybe you could fix it and call it the Daywolf. Or, you could call it the Paul. I'll take one pedal as payment if you do.

[@haytguugle8656]

I'm not sure turning all the pedals immediately to maximum is affording the viewer the best chance to see how the effect might be actually usable. Oh, and fuzzes at max setting is the noise we used to do back in high school too make everyone laugh - even if they weren't high.
