Caline Effects Pedals for Guitar - The Best $50 You Can Spend!?

The new Caline range might be the best Sub $50 (USD) pedals on the market! In this video, I check out the full range of single pedals. Each of these sounds great and looks cool. Thanks to Caline for sponsoring this video. Are Caline pedals any good? The quick answer is yes! I have been reviewing Caline pedals for almost 10 years and they have a great selection of overdrive, distortion, fuzz, delay, reverb, and modulation effects.

? What would you recommend and in what order for playing the British Blues? Thank You!

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

I have that ADLFX Simble clone and it gives me Robben Ford tone. It’s exceptional. It cost about $100 two years ago.

[@recordatron]

That was a great intro jam. I like how you seamlessly integrated the effects into it and showed them all off really well. Great sounding pedals for the dough!

[@calbrockocat8728]

Hard ot choose between that Mellow overdrive or the Queen Bee. And that Marianas Reverb can really let you go off the deep end. Great review, Shane. It' a lot of fun seeing pedals that won't cost an arm or a leg, just a bit off the pinky.

[@nickjimenez4262]

Wow!!! Alot of work went into this, much appreciated.

[@joaoluizsantos5274]

Tks for the video, I love the Reverbs!

[@stormyweather2837]

Great video Shane love your playing !! I think you convinced me to get a Queen Bee overdrive i love how you can control it with your volume and it sounded so thick and chewy ... Such a great blues sound !! Cheers and never stop playing 🙏🙂

[@ericwarrington6650]

I love your honesty in both the pedals capabilities and your capacity to make them musical.. 😂..many tones aren't musical no matter what someone does...just an "effect" as opposed to the core tone...tough to demo a ring mod musically.. 😂..great work Shane!

[@gregb6387]

Nice review Shane. some big sounds.

[@Slushpuppie55]

Thanks Shane. Some Good Value to be had here for sure. Enjoyed the Tones on all the Drive and Distortion pedals. Agree with you on that Awesome Simon Delay also. The Chorus and other modulation pedals just weren't my cup of tea I guess... but that's just a personal taste. Looking forward to the Dual Pedal reviews. Great Video Shane!

[@fredrodnick2881]

Very nice demos. A lot to choose from and decent sounds at a good price for guitarists on a budget like me.

[@jimm8594]

I really liked what you did with the wonderlands pedal, cheers from the states.

[@hankjohnson3902]

another great video Shane - so many to choose from there. I recently bought the Snake Bite Reverb from Caline and find it amazing for the price (I paid $AUD65).

[@tbone2451]

Always great demo’s and playing. Which pedal would be best for blues ?

[@robertclarkguitar]

Cool review Shane. It awesome , the gear that can be had today. From all walks of genre and pricing. I'm using a Boss Me80 now which I upgraded to the older model from gt1 which I thoroughly enjoyed , but now, I am able to learn and get more time adjusting knobs easier and in real time without having to shift through menus. Hahah. I hope to get a Cab Box soon to utilize the advanced tonal options they offer. This thing has all the basic effects I need for now. And for my deeper love of reverbs , Sweet Valhalla Supermassive. Great to see you enjoying that Fusion T HH FNT. I truly love mine too.

Awesome video. I’ve only discovered the reliability of budget pedals in general within the last year and it’s reviews and videos like these that have torn my brand snobbery to shreds. Sure, there are differences, but most times the sound difference does not equal the price difference.

[@bareandmare]

The new Mosky audio M series pedals are amazing value. 4 pedals in each with voice switch. The Big Fuzz Tone Bender is incredible. 80$ for a 5000$ tone Bender and Big Muff, and M Fuzz and Boost. I also bought the 4 in 1 Klon clone. Germanium and silicon too. All 4 klons for 80 Australian. Awesome. Thank you for the video

I have the stack attack, I bought it from artist guitars when they first got them in just by chance. It is an amazing pedal that really sits well in front of most things (even a metal zone).

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

Well... Simon was quite excited about that opening jam! 🤣

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

If you like Dumble tones, there’s an effects maker in SA called ADLFX who makes a great clone of the Simble OD. ADLFX has a shop on eBay. The Simble clone was under $120 and it’s hand made using great components. The Simble clone replaced my Wampler Euphoria.

[@grahamnunn8998]

Wow, the overdrives are real contenders and the distortion sounded awesome on minimum.

[@Savior.Greenmount]

Hi I saw that some caline m fuzz pedals have white knobs and a different pedal or are they the same?

[@Craig_Fussell]

I have a few Caline pedals and they’re some of my favorites! Nice build quality to be so inexpensive. Not to be “conspiracy boy,” but here’s something to ponder, I wonder if you opened up some of these new models, would you find the circuit boards have the model number from some of their older models stamped on them, making them rebranded versions?? Had to wonder because they have so many out there. 🤔✌🏻🎸

[@DougMen1]

Nope! But, some of their new dual pedals contain some of their previous pedals, like the Pure Sky and Orange Burst, as well as others. However, Dolamo and Pigtone are just rebranded Caline pedals with Caline boards inside. And all the new Movall pedals are rebranded Azor pedals, with Azor boards inside them. Azor is Caline's line of mini pedals

[@FrostlordTheWizard]

Thanks for the video! How did you get the Queen Bee to sound so full? Did it go into already overdriven amp? Mine sounds extremely brittle and thin.

[@intheblues]

What amp are you using?

[@emrage78]

Any single Phaser pedal from Caline?

[@thedeadxtras9927]

Nice demo and great jam track using a good cross section of pedals. For me I thought the Mellow Drive sounded great and the Jaguar High Gain Distortion did it for me, think I’ll probably buy them both. Thanks for your demo,a great insight into a big range of pedals.

[@Felipe-pb9gu]

The stack attack is like a BB comp?

[@bigupz6818]

Ok. I think you should make a record using the Mariana pedal only. You seemed to bring something to life which was quite extraordinary 👍🏼

[@jcugnoni]

Caline pedals are very much underrated. I have their Klon type pedal and it is flawless.

[@angelbergjosue8580]

great demo! my concern is i hear a noise gate on jaguar, is that built in or external?

[@angelbergjosue8580]

or its the bias knob making that fuzzy cutting sound?

[@John_Doe657]

Iv’e got the multimod and the only usable effect i found was the chorus witch sounds great.

[@voiceofexperience]

The Old School Reverb sounds 100% "pro". Definitely getting one to record with. The Wonderland is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, but would I use it enough to justify getting it?

[@JAF2991]

Is the caline multimod true bypass?

[@ericwarrington6650]

You made mermaids and sea sirens musical as can be man...bucket list check-off... 😂.. awesome..I really like this reverb pedal..

[@fabiostinco]

eu tenho caline jaguar classic high gain distortion, gosto muito, usando o bies todo para um lado ou outro lado, pode deixar o som com menos ganho tipo um tube screamer ou deixar com mais ganho mais fechado beirando um fuzz, as opções de equalização faz toda diferença

[@TheJuggernautv2]

I have Caline’s Medusa and Americana pedals. They make good products .

[@trevorburns7406]

Very nice 👍

[@ronaldllamasarez1960]

I really like all your lefty guitars. Since it is very hard for me to find one for me here in the philippines since i was young.

[@chessrootslove9916]

I am releasing a couple of small 5W digital amp heads (Hotone) that have that same gain - turned all the way down is still too much, unless that's all you want.

[@ronross1145]

Can you suggest to me the best order to connect a soul food, tube screamer and a peacock overdrive?

[@intheblues]

I would probably try it with the MLA before everything then the TS, then the Soul Food before the other two.

[@basslinger]

100%, thank you

[@josephjonzen9394]

Are those the Roswell HAF pickups? They sound married to that Osmium. Did you keep it?

[@airdog1829]

Yes, slow rate on the chorus is the way to go, along with a fairly high depth. Good to see it's a mono pedal. Stereo chorus pedals don't really work for me unless they're actually played in stereo.

[@ericwarrington6650]

The queen bee seems very orange like in the mid to upper harmonics especially...a nod to orange amp in the box? Seems screamer like midd

[@TedTheTree]

I've got 7 Caline pedals, I think they're great;

[@mikeblue385]

i've had a queen bee for a couple months now. works great.

[@mikeblue385]

@Neon Thunderbird sorry but no. it's a low gain drive with a focus knob (sounds like a bass rolloff). i stack it with a boost.

[@mikeblue385]

@Neon Thunderbird sooo many drive pedals. i can't keep up.

[@mikeblue385]

@Neon Thunderbird it's silly how many drive pedals i've been through in the last 18 months. and yet it continues.

[@gregb6387]

Could you review Tone City Flexo Drive

[@EncinoFilmsmedia]

they could be cheap but they sound awesome

[@bpdarragh]

Man, more pedals to lust over. At least they are reasonably priced!! That santa carla and queen bee stacked sounded epic. Appreciate the volume knob adjustment. But how cranked is your amp? I suspect not hugely loud as you are not wearing ear muffs.

[@intheblues]

Ear muffs are for people using chainsaws 😂

[@bpdarragh]

Ha, good stuff. You are the best reviewer mate, To the point, actual playing, all killer and no filler. I bet a lot of big pedal manufacturers have a price on your head with your nuts and bolts approach. Another great fellow aussie I follow on youtube is "Justin Guitar", though he is more tutorial rather than demo based, sure you know of him

[@DougMen1]

I only use drive pedals, 'cause i get my other effects (modulation, delay, and reverb) from my amps, since I use modeling amps. I have the Mellow Drive, the Queen Bee, the Enchanted Tone, the Stack Attack, and I've also had the Pure Sky, Orange Burst, Midlander, and Big Orange, but you left out the Medusa, which is their newer of their 2 Klon klones, and is the higher gain one of the 2, sort of their take on the J Rockett Archer Ikon, which even has a look very similar to the J Rockett. It's my favorite affordable Klon style pedal. I like it more than the Tone City Bad Horse, the Joyo Tauren, the other Caline klone, which is the Pegasus, and even the more costly MXR Sugar Drive. It's also MUCH better than the EHX Soul Food, which is the WORST Klon style pedal I've ever tried.

Absolutely. The power supply I use for all the videos is one of their older black powersupplies. It's never let me down in years.

Shane I suggest you do one gig with a full Caline board.

[@groovypants]

I was in the market for a reverb and chorus and was happy (at the time) to invest in affordable pedals. I did have my eye on a JHS3 reverb and a boss CH1 but thought hey, I'll look for cheaper pedals. I checked a few videos out including this one and decided to take the plunge on the Caline Old school reverb (OSR) and the Wave machine (WM). They cost me AUD $79 for the OSR and $55 for the WM. Both pedals arrive and it's time to test them in the chain of my pedalboard. (FYI I run pedals into the front of my Katana 50 Mk2 with an American Standard Tele). First was the WM and like Shane said, it was dead silent. I was impressed with that. Played on a few settings both clean and with overdrive and yeah, it's a standard chorus sound for the price I paid. Agree with Shane there are sweet spots but most pedals are like that. So I'm kind of happy. Next the OSR and as soon as it's powered, I can hear a lot of noise and intermittent buzzing and clicking. I use a 1Spot daisy chain so take it out of the chain and try it solo but it happens again. Thought maybe its the adapter and try another 2 adapters I have. Same thing happens. And it's not the daisy chain or power source issue as all my other pedals are dead silent. So get in touch with the online retailer I bought from and even send a video of what's going on. The guy I'm dealing with agrees it's not right and asks me if I want a refund or new one. I decide on a new one and a few days later my new OSR arrives. Plug it in and there's no more annoying clicking or buzzing. Woo hoo. But, there is noise coming though amp when plugged in. Even in bypass mode. I accept you get what you pay for and at the lower end I'm realistic to know this comes with the territory. The noise isn't excessive but it is noticeable to the point where I don't like it. Add this to the fact I thought the reverb was too tinny and lacked warmth. So the OSR is off my board (not that it really got on) and have decided to get a Boss RV6 after reconsidering the JHS3 reverb. Yeah, I'll keep the WM for a while. So I'm out of pocket for a bit but no drama, I'll live and a few lessons learned. Some people have good luck with affordable pedals and are happy but I guess Caline is not for me. Even after allowing for tempered expectations. That's just my experience with these 2 pedals that I'm sharing and as always, yours may differ. Keep rocking!

[@nimrod1975bce]

Queen Bee "AC/DC" riff was awesome… do you think AC/DC is on the edge of what could be called "HARD BLUES" …? I mean yeah they are Hard Rock… but Angus’s tone is really a raunchy blues sound.

[@DougMen1]

Yoy misrepresent some of the drive pedals, because you're using them to push a tube amp. If you use them with a clean SS or modeling amp you'll find that the Enchanted Tone is the lowest gain (distortion) of the three, with the Queen Bee next, and the Mellow Drive being the highest gain. I'm not talking about output level, but the amount of dirt or distortion they produce (on their own, not driving an amp into distorting more) because it's a known fact that with pedals that have different clipping levels selected by a switch (like the Joyo Zip Amp, Caline Stack Attack, and Wampler Euphoria), the lowest clipping (dirt/distortion setting) will have the highest output level, and the highest one will have the lowest output level. You need to watch Brian Wampler's video where he explains that. It's the same with the many drive pedals that have warm and hot modes- the warm has more dirt, and the hot has less dirt but a lot higher output. You may think the hot mode has more dirt, but it doesn't, it has less. It's just that its higher output level is driving the tubes in your amp harder and causing them to distort more

Wish you'd give yourself license to be more than "just a blues guy". Everything you said was out of your wheelhouse, and when you made jokes about you playing a particular out-there pedal... everything you played sounded amazing and very, very interesting. Like you could actually write amazing songs around the riffs you've already written. I've heard everybody and their grandmother demo these pedals, but the stuff you came up with when "outside your wheelhouse" well, it is the best I've heard. It is actual music. Wish you'd spend some time away from your "blues boys", and instead find some creative musicians to hang out with, I bet you'd create some work that would blind side you, because of its quality, and because of its departure from your safety zone. So serious.
