The Caline CP-98 Seahawk Reverb is a reverb pedal in a mini housing, built to give a natural, spring-style reverb rather than a range of ambient modes. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the sound as "similar to the spring reverb effect of the analog amplifiers, the reverb sound is very natural and clear," and lists the circuit type as analog1. It sits in the maker's wider line of reverb pedals, alongside models like the Caline CP-44 Reflector Spring Reverb and the Caline CP-512 Old School Reverb.
Controls
The Seahawk keeps things simple with three knobs:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Prd | Sets the delay time |
| Mix | Controls the amount of reverb |
| Decay | Adjusts the length of the reverb |
That layout covers the basics a player needs for a spring-style reverb: how far out the early reflections sit (Prd), how much wet signal is blended in (Mix), and how long the tail rings out (Decay)1.
Sound and character
Caline's own description positions the CP-98 as a single-purpose reverb: "Provides a range of excellent usable reverb tones," with the emphasis on the natural, clear character of an amp's spring reverb1. Players looking for more modes or modulation can find that elsewhere in the Caline range, for example the Caline Mariana Modulated Reverb or the Caline CP-508 Wonderland.
Size, housing and power
The mini aluminum alloy shell is described by RockBoard's PedalPedia as "durable and stable," space-saving and portable, which matters on a crowded board1. Power is a standard 9V DC, center negative supply, with a current draw of 30mA1.
The CP-98 draws 30mA at 9V DC, center negative, so a standard pedal supply covers it1.

Questions
What does the Prd knob do on the Caline CP-98 Seahawk?
The Prd knob sets the delay time of the reverb. Alongside it, the Mix knob controls the amount of reverb in the signal and the Decay knob adjusts the length of the reverb tail, so the three controls together cover delay time, wet level and decay length.
What power supply does the Caline CP-98 need?
The CP-98 Seahawk runs on a 9V DC, center negative power supply and draws 30mA. A standard 9V pedal supply works, and the 30mA draw is modest enough for most daisy chain or isolated supply setups.
Is the Caline CP-98 Seahawk analog or digital?
Caline lists the CP-98 Seahawk's circuit type as analog. The maker describes its sound as similar to the spring reverb effect of analog amplifiers, natural and clear.
What is the Caline CP-98 enclosure made of?
The CP-98 Seahawk has a durable and stable aluminum alloy shell in blue. The mini size housing is described as space-saving and portable, which suits crowded pedalboards.
