The folks at Caline Technology have been pumping out some affordable but pretty rad-sounding pedals over the last couple of years, and we’ve been fortunate enough to be able to try a bunch of them. Up next, we have the explosive, bright orange CP-70 High Chief Dual Overdrive, which seeks to conjure up tones reminiscent of the classic (and spendy) King of Tone from Analog Man. With two separate but similar circuits, you can easily achieve sounds from boost to low gain to borderline distortion with ease.
Each side of the High Chief features the same control section, with Volume and Tone knobs on each side. The left side features a Drive knob as well, while the right side boasts a Clean knob in that same parameter slot. These Overdrive and Clean Boost knobs create a versatile array of sounds to experiment with, for loads of sonic options. Use these two sides individually if you need, one for a clean boost and a low drive, one for a mid-gain drive and one for a heavier one, or one for a slightly dirty boost and one for an all-out distorted sonic journey. The transparent tones make sure your original signal stays in tact, but becomes enhanced and bold when you need it to.
The true bypass circuitry makes sure your signal stays up to par when the High Chief is not engaged, and makes sure it absolutely rips if you need it to when it is engaged. The high-quality aluminum alloy orange shell enclosure provides you with a durable, stable piece of gear that’s sure to be reliable on the road or in the studio, and the tones it produces will get you the sounds you’ve been searching for, without breaking the bank at the same time. Another inexpensive but quality build from the Caline crew, the High Chief offers great sound and quality at a super-affordable price. Cheers to those guys once again – we’ve got more of their gear coming up, so stay tuned, and be sure to peruse our demo video below to hear this orange monster roar into action!
