Caline Blue Ocean showed up today. Have only fiddled with it a bit so far but I'll attempt a basic review.
It's a clone supposedly of the mad professor deep blue delay. I wanted an analog sounding delay for a little slapback and ambience, with medium-short delay times to fill out a few solos. I did not want crystal clear repeats and don't do a lot of dotted eighth stuff, nor did I need modulated repeats or long delay times. So this seemed like an easy choice for now.
For $35 I can't complain! The bypassed sound seems natural and I don't hear much change in my dry tone without it on, no increase in noise floor that I hear through my clean Princeton Reverb.
The repeats seem to sort of blend into what you're playing as they're not too bright, even at short delay times, where I found the carbon copy to be really bright and metallic
The original Deep Blue is advertised as an analog sounding digital delay that has warm repeats and claims to be voiced to handle gain in front of it from dirt pedals. This clone seems to do that, I sometimes like to crank the gain on my blues driver for an almost fuzzy drive and I think the pedal gives me that same sound but with unobtrusive echoes echoes echoes or rockabilly slap that doesn't add too much brightness
Hard to qualify it other than it's musical... The repeats aren't so in your face. Really good sounds for the price.
The only thing I don't enjoy about it is that it's a clone of an expensive unit that someone took time to design but heck man I just play in my bedroom and $200 for a good delay ain't in the cards for me.
