The Caline CP-80 Ragnarok Reverb Delay is a reverb and delay combo pedal: two time-based effects in one enclosure, made by Caline. Pedal of the Day reviewed it in October 2019, describing it as "a Reverb/Delay combo" and calling it "this purple monster from Caline," a reference to its purple enclosure1. It is an updated version of the Caline Ghost Rain (the CP-41), and the main additions are a separate reverb control and separate switching for the two effects1.
Controls
The pedal splits its controls between the reverb side and the delay side. On the reverb side, Decay sets the length of the reverb. On the delay side, three knobs shape the echo1.
| Control | Side | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Decay | Reverb | Sets the length of the reverb1 |
| PRD | Delay | Controls the delay time1 |
| Delay | Delay | Controls the delay time, with a range from 25ms to 600ms1 |
| Repeat | Delay | Sets the number of repeats the delay signal produces1 |
| Level | Delay | Sets the level of the delay signal, which mixes with your straight guitar tone1 |
Pedal of the Day described the reverb side's results as "warm and ambient tones, perfect for adding a hint of sparkle to your sound, or propelling it up to the next level"1.
How it differs from the Ghost Rain
The CP-80 Ragnarok is a direct update of the CP-41 Ghost Rain, Caline's earlier reverb/delay pedal. The Ghost Rain, as described on RockBoard's PedalPedia, "combines a warm analog delay with a light hint of reverb," with the reverb applied automatically rather than dialed in: "The reverb is subtle, adding a wider field of depth to your delays without overpowering them"21. Pedal of the Day's 2019 review of the Ghost Rain covered it as a reverb/delay in the same family3.
What the Ragnarok changed, according to Pedal of the Day:
- A now-separate control for the reverb, not previously available on the Ghost Rain1
- Separate control switching, so the reverb and delay can be engaged independently1
Pedal of the Day described the CP-80 Ragnarok Reverb Delay as "an excellent dual effect pedal for players of ALL types of genres, especially those on a budget," adding that it does so "not sacrificing tone or quality"1. The pedal's enclosure is purple, which the same review called "this purple monster from Caline"1.
For a player, that means the Ragnarok works as two pedals in one box where the Ghost Rain leaned toward being a delay with reverb baked in. If you want to run reverb alone, delay alone, or both together, the Ragnarok's switching allows it123.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day's verdict on the CP-80 was positive, particularly on value1:
"the Ragnarok is an excellent dual effect pedal for players of ALL types of genres, especially those on a budget, not sacrificing tone or quality"
The reviewer framed it as a dual effect that suits a wide range of genres, with the budget-minded player called out specifically1.
Where it sits in Caline's delay range
Caline has built a number of delay and reverb pedals around this territory. The Ghost Rain is the CP-80's direct predecessor1, and the company's delay line also includes the Caline Blue Ocean, the Caline Drifter Seven Delays, the Caline Time Space, the Caline G-010 Parrot Delay, the Caline CP-63 Sidewinder Delay, the Caline CP-513 Simon Super Delay and the Caline G-009 Chamecho Delay.

Questions
What is the difference between the Caline CP-80 Ragnarok and the CP-41 Ghost Rain?
The CP-80 Ragnarok is an updated version of the CP-41 Ghost Rain. According to Pedal of the Day, the Ragnarok adds a now-separate control for the reverb, which was not previously available on the Ghost Rain, and gives players separate control switching for the two effects. The Ghost Rain combined a warm analog delay with a light hint of reverb that was applied automatically, while the Ragnarok lets you set and switch the reverb on its own.
What is the delay time range of the Caline CP-80?
Pedal of the Day's review gives the CP-80's delay time range as 25ms to 600ms, controlled by the Delay knob on the delay side of the pedal. The reviewer described it as a nice range, covering everything from short slapback-style repeats to longer, more spacious echoes.
Can you switch the reverb and delay separately on the CP-80?
Yes. Separate control switching is one of the features the CP-80 Ragnarok added over the earlier CP-41 Ghost Rain, according to Pedal of the Day. The Ghost Rain did not offer this, so the Ragnarok lets you engage the reverb and the delay independently rather than as one combined effect.
What color is the Caline CP-80 Ragnarok?
The CP-80 Ragnarok has a purple enclosure. Pedal of the Day's 2019 review referred to it as "this purple monster from Caline."
What does the PRD knob do on the CP-80?
On the delay side of the CP-80, the PRD knob controls the delay time, according to Pedal of the Day's review. It sits alongside the Delay knob, which also controls delay time over a range of 25ms to 600ms, the Repeat knob for the number of repeats, and the Level knob for how loudly the delay signal mixes with your straight guitar tone.
