I have one of these and I want to share some troubleshooting that u can face either: My copy started to make crackling sounds, just like those of dirty potentiometers. I cleaned the whole circuit and potentiometers with a proper contact cleaner for 3 TIMES and there was no way to fix it, the cracks was there like a vinyl disc simulator, broken cable vibes... not what I wanted. So I noticed that when the crackling triggers one of the LED lights was flickering as well. So I discovered in the most stupid way, the LEDs are REMOVABLE. Just pull the red square on top of the potentiometers. Pull them out with no need of any tool whatsoever. I just removed it and put it back and that was it... a dirty LED was causing me the whole trouble. I love to use EQ and I had to took it of my board because of this issue. Otherwise, these pedal make what is supposed to make and besides that, never had a trouble with it. My only complain about it is the energy port, this thing is tucked way too far and may not work with every force cable.

Good stuff and does help with my decision on what to purchase.... Thank You.

Great demo thanks!

I got this exact one a few weeks ago based on this review. Everything you say about it is true. It’s really very good. The most important addition to my board in years. Thanks!

I received my copy a week ago. Liked it so far. Can be used for my electric, acoustic and nylon string. Most useful pedal.🎉

Nice vid - I just ordered the CP-81 - has the Volume and Gain.

thank you derek i just ordered one the demo all most sounds steel ish cool and i never use batteries

Ended up buying this pedal as well. Had it for a fair few months, works as it should. 🤔

I just got this pedal yesterday for my heavily distorted tone with an od stacked into a distortion and all I need to do with this pedal afterwards is cut the next to highest frequency and I've got the tone I've been wanting for YEARS

I'm a newbie buy I ordered a distortion pedal and accidentally got sent this. Cool!

This was an in depth review of a good eq pedal. I have to say, your production is great. I love the text animation, transitions, and variety of camera angles. Your commentary is pleasant and informative and your playing is solid. I look forward to more high quality reviews!

Ordered this last week before seeing any KZfaq reviews, I want it for my analog stomp box (Beat-Root) to be able to cut down on the really low and boost arount 100 Hz... nothing more. But this box seems great, might get another one for the guitar. :)

Great video!

Excellent demonstration, very nice guitar tone - thank you sir. So is it NOT noisy or hissy at all ?

I've got it. Great pedal. Even with a flat eq it adds clarity to the tone and gives you better note separation. Of course, essential for tone shaping, cutting undesirable frequencies. You can also use it as a booster. Eq pedals are the forgotten ones in pedalboards, but once you try one you realize how it can enhance your tone, and then it becomes an "always on" pedal.

With a tube amp you will enjoy the mids, look at ceriatone amps

Good video, Beautiful guitar tone - thanks. Can I filter very high static noise with it ?

EQ pedals might not be essential, but they are absolutely a force multiplier. I have a DOD FX40B 7 band that I use to tame my FX69 Grunge. It also acts as a very slight boost. It's not in your face, but it is noticeable.

I really like the look of this pedal. Has a real 70's vibe.

Nice video man, I haven´t tried any kind of eq pedal, but it looks like a nice option to have some extra tones, cheers

it seems to have quite an audible 'click' when you turn it on/off ? would love to know since i've seen reviews on the BOSS and Behringer make a point of testing this at volume

i have a boss ge7 and i really think i can use this instead, and get a few extra bucks back from the boss

I bought these pedal. It is very quiet and very effective. But i have a doubt Derek: when i crank the gain bottom in the pedal my signal gets with gain, is this gain from the pedal or the tubes of my amp? Thanks

Hi derek..nice demo..this model or caline cp81?

Mine lasted two shows and was damaged, I don't know if it was the power adapter I bought. I will buy another to do the test, could you help me where I can buy an adapter for that pedal.

Mine came in today its very nice but it has an external battery, the battery should be internal, there's plenty of space inside,i dont know how long a battery will last with those LEDs.I found my answer, do not run it off of the battery it barely lasts an hour all those LEDs draw too much current for a 9v battery get a 9v adapter.

So this pedal can be used as a booster for your solos right?

Truth be told - every amp should have an installed equaliser to dial in your favourite tone, to make it sound just the way you want it.

Between caline cp 24 and ammoon eq7, which one has more volume gain in solos or which one do you recommend? Is it true that the caline makes noise?

Currently using a Joyo band controller. I find it sucks the tone too much for my liking is this one better?

What’s the signal chain for the EQ?

I dived in years ago for a Boss GE-7 and although it did a good job functionality wise, it was a noisy as hell. It then cost me another £25 on top to buy a mod kit and I'm now pleased to say it really is 'as silent as an angels fart'!. However, I do like your' reviews of this level of pedal, not only does it show new gear but it it also serves to remind me just what a bargain you can get these days for your' money, decent quality for relatively little outlay. No wonder the second hand market is awash with gear!. Any chance of a review of the Super Comp sometime, Derek?

Which one is good ? JOYO Band Controller or this one ?

Hi Derek . I have a amoon eq7 and i think he put much noise on the signal. This caline add much noise or acceptable? i buy boss ge7 or caline . my pourpose is scoop mids and sometimes take the guitar sound behind the mix in the live shows. The amoon have a lower volume and i don´t put the clean boost separate for this. sorry my poor english. im brazilian. greetings.

hi, i can hear the popping noise in this tesst. did you feel like it was prominent? as i play on stage regularly i cant afford to have those nasty sounds. thanks

Any one else having issues with noise when using a power supply rather than a 9V battery. I've tried a few 9 volt adapters that are clean with other pedals but seem very dirty with this equalizer. I wonder if I got a bad one.

What a cracking EQ for the money, what do you think?

Did Caline follow MXR and silent mod the new models.

This looks like the teriary level of fine tuning. I can see this for those times where you've spun the dials on the amp and whatever overdrives you have and still can't quite get that tone or the balance between treble and bass which always seems to be the frustrating over/under and you need something that operates in a finer gradient. For the money, it is certainly worth giving it a shot.

Is all that noise your amp? I hope that isn’t from the pedal. I’m on the fence about getting this EQ over others.

Is it also good for a high gain distortion?

Dumb question, can an eq pedal help reduce extra noise and buzz coming from a guitar?

Hey Derek, Where did you have it in your pedal board chain? Looked like first to me as you were dialing in on your clean tones. That is one nice EQ pedal for the price. I like the way it looks too. Nice video man. Cheers!

Save more get a BOSS

Will it work for bass to? Because I think boosting the 31Hz would sound good with my new 5 string bass 🔊

Link it to a boss ge7 and get 17 band EQ

Does this pedal hook up electric or only 9 volt battery?

Is it good for bass guitar?

Nice video man, but i hear a lot of hiss, is this pedal noisy?

Sirve para guitarra acustica?

i have caline eq too can you please list down how you chain your pedals??

No Tipex on this one then?

Can it be used for bass guitar?

Can I use this pedal with an electroacoustic guitar?

No demonstration on the gain!

I got to get one And I can \M/ if I get to good payday next week.

QUESTION i just bought one on ebay same exzact one but it sounds like your in a bat cave and theres a million of them cheeping any subjestion

I bought one of these as a backup. I’ve got the MXR 10 Band KK. Great pedal. But 4 times the price of the Caline. Hope this pedal works 1/2 as good as my MXR. I’ll be happy.

I like running just a fuzz w these n sculpt the fuzzbua can really dial in that jagged 60,s ripping fuzz ala Davie Allan n the arrows....good luck w it...takes alot messing w to find the right settings but worth having...***does it take a battery??...
