Caline CP-507 Mariana Modulated Digital Reverbs Guitar Effects Pedal (7 Kinds of Reverb) Aluminum Alloy Casing

I use this pedal everyday and I love the sounds it makes. My favorite is hot springs with full sustain. There are alot of weird sounds on it but I personally like most of them.

The sound quality and featureset is amazing for the price! I don't think there's anything else under $100 that really competes. As a combined multi-mod and reverb pedal, it's perfect for shoegaze, dream pop, jazz, and anything else that calls for spacey sounds. Unfortunately, it has some bizarre limitations that you need to work around to use it - mislabeled controls (like the "pitch mix" on The Kraken that's actually a decay), The Bends being kind of unusable outside of weird experimental/ambient soundscapes, and the lack of any "normal" reverb with full access to decay and mix, without modulation. That being said, by turning down the reverb, you do get access to a reverb-less flangey chorus, a tremolo, and a pitch shift on The Deep, Propellor, and The Kraken respectively, so that's a plus. Mermaids is also just a normal phaser without reverb.

I have several reverb pedals, but the Mariana is by far the most interesting of them. Having an EQ in the reverb to accentuate or minimize the highs or lows on the wet signal is surprisingly useful. Very gnarly cavernous sounds can be achieved with a fuzz and octave pedal before it. Clean sounds do best with a bit of compression before it to cut through a mix in my opinion but I'm sure someone can find it useful without compression.There is a lot of variety in this pedal for the price. It is not Behringer level inexpensive (I have no qualms with them and own almost all of their pedals) but good enough when you compare it to boutique pedals that do things similarly. Small manufacturers are great and deserve support but some of us can't justify a $200+ pedal.The budget pedal makers coming out of China in the last 3-5 years I thought were going to be junk but manufacturers like Caline, JOYO, and FLAMMA are surprisingly effective for their price. Would I love to have an all Boss, EHX, Strymon, JHS, Earthquaker, ZVEX, etc. pedal selection to choose from? Sure would. Will I accept a cheaper option that gets me really close in most circumstances? Absolutely. If something sounds good and works well for you, then there is nothing wrong with buying it and using it. No one will be able to tell in your recordings if you used a Strymon vs. a Caline. If you can afford to buy great but expensive pedals, then by all means do so. That's commerce. If you want to see if something is for you before upgrading, then these types of pedal manufacturers are the way to go.

Tenía muchas dudas, pero al conectarlo todo cambió, los sonidos que se pueden llegar a crear con este pedal son increíbles.

Using this with an Arturia Microfreak completely opens up new possibilities!
