Caline DCP-03 Devilfish Chorus Delay

The Caline DCP-03 Devilfish Chorus Delay is a dual effects pedal that combines a chorus and a delay in one enclosure. The chorus side is an analog circuit, and the delay side is built on Caline's Blue Ocean Delay, with a delay time range of 25 to 600 ms. It is part of Caline's DCP dual effect series, a line that pairs two effects in a single box.¹²

The controls

Each side of the pedal has its own set of knobs, so the chorus and delay are adjusted independently².

On the delay side, the maker's listing notes that the Repeat control, when used in conjunction with the other controls, can be used to create either slap back effects or standard delay, and that the pedal offers up to a 600 ms delay time.¹

The two sides

The chorus side is analog. Pedal of the Day describes it as "a warm, analog circuit" that "harkens back to the classic sounds of a certain baby blue pedal from the 80's," a reference to the chorus pedals of that era.²

The delay side draws on Caline's Blue Ocean Delay circuit. Pedal of the Day's reviewer heard "a natural-sounding delay that lays back and lets your tone shine through," with the 25 to 600 ms range described as "perfect for any musical situation."²

What reviewers said

Pedal of the Day reviewed the Devilfish on 10 February 2021 as part of a run through the DCP series. The reviewer's verdict on the pairing²:
