OVERDRIVE- CALINE CP-30 Red Devil Heavy Metal Distortion ...small price BIG sound !

$35.00 USD
 CALINE CP-30  RED DEVIL HEAVY METAL DISTORTION 
Caline have been around for several years doing the standard classic clones. Like Mooer thy are pushing away those boundary's and designing a few of their own things.
The pedal has the standard Volume and gain and a 3 way EQ. It is nice to see those that important mid knob! A switch changes the voicing from a classic 80's Brit sound or a Modern Metal tone.
The classic sound has some of that vintage Marshall sound. In the modern Metal sound there is of those nice harmonics popping out of  that in your face amp sound with just a bit of Fuzz that adds a great snarl to the lows.


CONCLUSION
I have owned a few Caline pedals. The overall quality is very good and they never gave me any grief!
Well the video's are spotty but there are bits in all of them that give you a good idea.
The end of the French video...the last one gives you a good show of the lows and that crushing wall of sound thing. It actually has a surprising amount of rich harmonic content.
The recent graphics with the orange is a bit of tongue in cheek and a lot of fun.
The week bit is the sustain is just a bit tame ...but so are some of the much more expensive boxes.
Bottom line it sounds as good or better then many pedals in the $180  league.
At $35.00 USD one is not risking much!
