Im a little partial to caline they were my first pedals. Im glad to see them put out new products. Disappointed by the choice to make another tube screamer but that is what sells. After I'm done collecting the dual and 5 series pedals I'll start picking these up.
Always love the gain pedals so would welcome vids on the Tiger eye and nasty bear but maybe also the killer shark as that had a deep distortion when boosting. Thanks for the review interesting
I couldn't find the price range for these, but as long as they're at or near the price of the older pedals, these look like winners. I really like the new graphics.
I’m not sure if they are actually on the market yet…?!? I’ll talk to the people at Caline and find out! Yeah, the graphics are great…really reminded me of a comic book. And the build quality seems really good…it’ll be interesting to see how much they will cost!
They’re available in AliExpress to purchase, they range between £45-£70 UK sterling, so more expensive than the Pure Sky, Orange boost range, but still economically priced with better switches, artwork and small chassis, think it’s pretty fair they’re more expensive, I’m sure the price will drop after 3-6months. Thanks Gabor for your unboxing and quick first listen.
Caline make some quality pedals man. I bought the pure sky thinking it was made with just a little thicker material of a soda can and im surprised when the packaged arrive its quite sturdy 😂. Planning to collect some of their stuff for my first pedalboard.
Compressor and Eagle Eye Boost are the two most interesting ones for me. Worth going deeper into those. Interested to hear the cleaner compression with the clipping turned down.
I think live the eagle eye might be more useful but since I have both I’m going to say I vastly prefer the shark boost. I don’t use the eagle eye but I love the shark.
I have a few of these G Series pedals. They all have their pluses and minuses. The Tiger Eye Distortion and Parrot Delay seem to be the most useful ones. I had artifact/noise problems with the Chamecho and had to send it back. The Python Compressor is not bad but there's not much sustain compared to my MXR Dynacomp even though there's a sustain button. The Redbelly Tremolo is limited without a depth control or a wave function, but I got a decent sound from it by putting an Autowah / Envelope filter in front of it. The Vibrato pedal is not very good IMO. I will probably end up selling most of these at some point, maybe keeping 2 or 3 as back-up pedals.
@@guitareplayer7141 I do like the Tiger Eye distortion and it's one of the Caline pedals I'm keeping. It's actually very good for its price range. I sold my Azor distortion, T-Rex Diva, and Boss Metalzone because I wasn't that happy with any of those. I just put up the Green Mamba, Python compressor, and Timberwolf vibrato for sale on Craigslist. Those I would not recommend. Trying to sell them as a trio if possible. For now, keeping the Caline Redbelly Tremolo pedal. It's not very good but I don't use tremolo often but for the few x I use it it's adequate for now.
Hey Gabor I have never really understood Compression pedals so would love you to do a full video with Alex fully testing the Python so I can understand what it is all about
I'm a pedal nut, but have only discovered Caline in the last month or so. Have a dozen or so on the way, but these are another level of awesomeness. The delays sound great but I'd like to hear a review of the 7 mode boost (the Chamenco?).
Been looking forward to their new stuff with the success of Pure Sky etc. I heard they kicked up the graphics and new theme. Imma kick back with a beverage. Parrot mod delay & Eagle Eye boost sounded best to me. *sniffs my tone cork*
The TIger Eye is the 20 year old Bearfoot Dyna Red. One Control does a new version of it too. I just ordered the 2022 version of the Caline Orange Burst after trying a fiends Xotic. $30.00 USD with free shipping made it impossible to say no, lol
@@TSFAHTPS The Caline really sounds like the Dyna Red. The Dyna Red has the mids thing as well. There have been many versions but this is the 4 knob one that came out 10 years ago. It is one of the first MIAB's
Please, make a video now, after testing all them properly, and showing us yout favorite settings in each of them. 21:47 nice idea in taking all them in the same frame, to photo. Ty
Could you please try more moderate and subtle settings? (the knobs can also be turned counterclockwise) Here I mostly heard extreme settings and they didn't sound good. I had the impression that the test was not well prepared. For example It would have been interesting to hear how the mix knob on the Redbelly also changes the waveform. Or how the Green Mamba sounds with low gain. Unfortunately too much time was lost for talking. And please use a clean platform amp if you test pedals and a noise gate if you use P90s. Because of the dirty basic sound and the noise it was difficult for me to evaluate the pedals.
You kinda missed the point of this video…this was an unboxing and quick first look video of the pedals! We are doing full videos with each pedal - some are up already and some are yet to be filmed! We use a cleaner amp when we do the full demos but there are a lot of people (including me) who want to hear these pedals with a slightly overdriven clean. We will do a full video of the Green Mamba soon and there will be a more low gain sound too
I own both. Perhaps live the eagle would end up working better but it’s collecting dust. Love the shark. Definitely in my top 3 boost pedals without trying to figure it out.
Depends on if you want an ambient reverb or more of an amp style spring reverb! The Caline Wonderland and Old School Reverbs are great…so is the Flamma Reverb…the TC HOF Mini is really good and not super expensive!
What's your idea of "cheap"? Tbh, reverbs are one of the more difficult pedals to produce on the cheap- that's why even the budget reverbs tend to be higher than budget overdrives or distortion pedals. Joyo has a decent one for around 80 bucks called Atmosphere- I like it because it has a traditional spring, plate, and church but it also does the ambient thing with shimmer, comet, and forest- as well as the weird stuff with reverse and pulse. This way you can cover all styles of reverb with one pedal and still be in under 100 bucks- Josh over at JHS did a demo on it, it's Josh approved. Also has trails you can turn on or off- something these reverbs were lacking. Another really good budget option is Tone City Tiny Spring- about 45 bucks new, miniature format, sounds great- but it's just a simple spring reverb. That said- in my opinion- if you want the best sounding reverb and some options- you can't beat the Keeley Caverns delay and reverb. It has choral modulation, Shimmer, and spring reverbs- as well as a really good delay w/ or without modulation. It has blend, decay, rate, and warmth parameters on the reverb which is far more control over your reverb than what you usually get- I love it. But it runs about 150 used, 180 new- it's not cheap. The Electroharmonics (EHX) Holy Grail is a classic- has an amazing plate and spring reverb on it- just ignore the flerb setting- it's like flanger and reverb mixed together- it sux. It has one knob on it which controls the amount of reverb you have- that's it, super simple. You can nab one for around 100 bucks used, 130-140 new.
I recommend the Coolmusic Reverberry, if you can find one. They seem to be sold out at Amazon. For $40 it has been the best bang for your buck in reverb pedals that I've tried.
@@TSFAHTPSunfortunately I don’t have Eagle Eye Boost yet :( but I’ll buy it as soon as possible. In our country, the dollar exchange rate is constantly changing

I've used these pedals with my Peavey Red Stripe Bandit 112 (solid state amp). The Tiger Eye Distortion does not sound bad at all, in fact for the price it's quite versatile. It's much better than the Green Mamba overdrive, which doesn't do much and is not recommended.

From my experience, Caline makes a solid product. The Pure Sky is outstanding. Build is great for a $30 pedal.
No trails is a bit of a thing.
Absolutely…Pure Sky is really good!
Trails is a bit of a thing for me…I think reverbs and delays need trails
@@TSFAHTPS I agree 100% but the price is good for beginner pedals.
@@friedrudibega6384 very true
Perhaps the eagle eye is based on a way huge- angry troll?
Chamecho is hilarious for some reason 😂
This was done very well. Hats off for that Yamaha as well. I will be getting some of these pedals.
Parrot Delay is very interesting..
It’s a really nice sounding delay
You can actually get some nice ambient sounds just from the Parrot. It's better than the Chamecho.
Im a little partial to caline they were my first pedals. Im glad to see them put out new products. Disappointed by the choice to make another tube screamer but that is what sells. After I'm done collecting the dual and 5 series pedals I'll start picking these up.
Chamecho caught my attention and the 7 mode boost looking forward to seeing the full review!🎸🙂
Well you could use an EQ pedal as a boost and get even more frequenzy options
Always love the gain pedals so would welcome vids on the Tiger eye and nasty bear but maybe also the killer shark as that had a deep distortion when boosting. Thanks for the review interesting
I have over 10 Caline pedals, they're great value & I'll probably buy more;

The chorus sounded nice

Green Mamba seems like a pretty thick Screamer. Might go alright on bass.

Okay when did they get so good looking! Lol
Now it sounds like a distortion pedal. I told you the pickups makes a big difference.

No Phaser pedal from Caline, still waiting for it
There are a bunch in numbers missing…you never know they might announce more soon
There will be a phaser and a flanger added to the range soon :)

👍🏻👍🏻
The price now its like Boss pedals $75+
are they made out of plastic or aluminum? looks like hard plastic on the photos, at least for me
They are made out of aluminium…they are quite heavy for the size and feel very sturdy
Metal construction. Only the knobs are plastic.
3 X 4 or 4 x 3 = 12!

You must be a Biden voter.
The old Caline used to make good products.
