If you’ve had the chance to check out our series “The Klone Wars” on YouTube, you may have noticed a pedal called the Pegasus from a company called Caline. This overdrive not only holds its own against some of the more well-known klones out there, it also proves that you don’t have to be expensive to sound fantastic. Today, we’ve got another budget-friendly effect from Caline, this time in the form of a reverb/delay. The Ghost Rain is a warm, analog delay combined with a splash of reverb, for a nice, natural-sounding pedal.
With just 3 controls, the Ghost Rain doesn’t take too long to figure out. Echo sets your effect level, F. Back adjusts the amount of repeats and Time dials in your delay time, sporting a range from 25ms – 600ms. The Delay sound is very dynamic and warm, and the Feedback controls will send your sound into super gnarly oscillation if you put it anywhere near 3:00 or beyond, adding to its impressive vintage, analog tone. But wait! Where’s the control for the Reverb? Alas, there isn’t one – it is automatically added in, just to give a bit of chime and ambience to your echoes.
Now, some would prefer to have control over the ‘verb, but at under 50 bucks for a delay-and-reverb-in-one pedal, you really can’t complain. Plus, the delay really sounds good – full and clear, and an excellent path to travel on if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to sound great on stage or in the studio. Our demo below will give you some hints into the prowess of the Ghost Rain, but at such a good price, you’ll probably want to just try it for yourself. Stay tuned for more Caline pedals coming down the review/demo slide, and don’t forget to look for the Pegasus battling it out in “The Klone Wars” as well!
