Thank you
Thank you!
Goat
He has the box!
If it sounds good, it IS good
I love your demos dude - you do exactly what everyone does with a new pedal - the full range
The yellow overdrive is definitely a bb preamp. Sounds exactly like my caline big orange which is a VERY good copy of the bb preamp
BB as in blues breaker?
@@mcbrodz1663 nah, it's the xotic bb king preamp/od
It's the Caline Highway Man which might be a clone of something. I'm not sure.
@@mcbrodz1663 Not sure. The original has been around forever.
@@eq-everythingmusic Same thing as the big orange, different box. Still a BB preamp. Maybe the highway man has a slightly different tone stack, slightly different op amp, or modded for a little more gain, but identical harmonic characteristics in the distortion.
This view with the full background is awesome!!
Dude you are my favorite show on RUclips!!! Love all things petals, as do most people on here! Pedals are back y’all!!!!
Bought the D-8 OD (Yellow) because of this demo. LOVE that pedal! Thanks! ❤🔥🍻
This is a great od
Hoo boy, does that yellow overdrive sound good. Kinda reminds me of a Klon, a TS, and an OD-1 all mixed together
Those glitchy sounds from the delay sounded really cool
Love your Demo,, again you went through the pedals showing all, no skippy , like other peoples demos. your playing out the full range - COOL , KEEP ON WITH YOUR DEMOS
That overdrive tone is amazeballs
King of Afford-a-board Tube Screamers would be awesome!
Those just popped up in my feed yesterday and I was planning to see if there were any videos than bam there you are 🤘
I really like their colour range.They go together well in my opinion.
indeed!
I have the Yellow Overdrive, The D-11 which is a RAT clone, and the Compressor, all from Dolamo and I sold all of them, cept for the yellow overdrive because it just sounds so dang awesome, I put it front my also affordable multi-fx and they sound phenomenal you dial the gain to basically 1 and it turns into a clean boost, and you can use the two EQ settings to either give it metal bass boost, or a treble boost kinda sound, it's so versatile.
The orange overdrive, the D-8, is definitely an Xotic RC Booster. I use it to either drive some of my other dirt pedals, like my DOD FX-50B Overdrive Plus, or play into the slightly dirty gain channel of my Peavey Bandit 112 Red Stripe. It gives both of those circuits a pretty good amount of snarl.
Isn't the Xotic like 200 quid? Seems like a good deal.
My new favourite "RUclips Music Gear Guy That Looks Like A Bob's Burgers Character" guy!
The yellow OD is the star of this episode.
You'd know!
Agreed!
@@stompboxtalk Talk box stomp!
Definitely!
according to Dolamo it is an Xotic RC Booster :-)
Look, here's a great addition to your affordaboard series. POWER SUPPLY! How to power a bum pedalboard! Compare cheap power suply from different manufacturers. DC adapter with daisy chain, power bricks with external power adapter, and if you find, cheap isolated power bricks with internal DC
P.S.
cuvave has its own power supply))
Noice, I was waiting for this episode. Cool new line, I hope they expand it soon.
God I love these Afford-A-Board cheap pedal reviews!!!
Good to have these types of demos. Some of these cheaper pedals are actually really nice for sure.
They are fun. Part of me doesn't want to sink money to buy them. Maybe buy it, try it for two weeks and send it back before the return window closes. I typically buy used gear. I saved $150 on two EDQ pedals buying used (people tried them, didn't like them, turned around and sold them type of used).
Because of the pedal factory sources for most of these low priced pedals ... add in a short segment for this type of review that is "let's take one apart and see what's inside!" Show the arena fans the pedal guts, like the end of a gladiator contest.
If the control/port layout is the same its about 98% likely the same OEM board inside. Ive gone through a lot of these cheap pedals and every one of them that look alike, are the same boards inside. Joyo is probably the original designer for most of the sub $50 pedals. There are 2 or 3 OEM that use different boards and components/cases, but the circuits are identical. A lot of them even retain the original effect name and or graphics, with a rebrand. Donner, Stax, Rowin, Koogo, Tomsline are all the same, for example.
I believe Caline does some of their own design/redesign.
Contrary to a lot of other comments here, the yellow overdrive is the Caline Highway Man, which is their clone of the Xotic RC booster, the green overdrive is the Caline Midlander, their straight up TS clone. None of them are like the Pure Sky, which is the Caline Timmy clone, or the Orange Burst, which is the Xotic BB preamp clone ( a TS with bass and treble controls).
So what are the red, brown and black distortions supposed to be?
Ive had two Caline Highwaymen, and they didnt have that much gain! and the Dolamo D-8 bass and treb controls are more wide!😎
@@ltcm5052 The Black is the Caline English Man (a plexi).
@@kimmolingonheimo If you open it up it's the Caline Highwayman board inside. Just because it sounds different here, pedals change depending on the amp, and Ryan always plays with a lot of gain and volume ( and treble) on his amp, makes EVERY pedal sound brighter and fizzier and more distorted than they are.
@@ltcm5052 The red is the Caline Sand Storm
I just went to look for delay pedal.... did you know that Amazon is using your vid on the Donner play station controller thing in an ad?
That Starcaster is pretty cool.
Not bad ! Better than most in that price point!
Love the Acoustic heads in the background
Thanks for the demonstration .The last 2 peddles sound good
The flubby speaker is djent, plug in a 7 or 8 string guitar and embrace the heaviness. Also if you want to see if it's an HM-2 clone then you've gotta max out the EQ controls and then see if it sounds like a "Swedish Chainsaw" and play some really chugga chugga Dismember/Entombed/Dissection/Bloodbath/Obituary style riffs.
Caline pedals are notorious for having the power connection in an awkward spot too. Hmmm....🤔
Yep a ball ache!!
Well they are caline repackaged, he opened up the Green Overdrive and it shows that it's a Caline CP-49.
I think the cheeky feline is correct about the yellow OD! Impressive sounding for a cheapy dirt box! I think there IS a bit of Klonage going on in that 1 Ry! \m/ All of them were good! for
Hey Ry...Thanks for the reviews!..The black Disto reminds me of the late sixties disto on records when I first started playing....he tone is spot on asI have one and wont let it go...These Dolamo pedals have got moxy..Ha!...Im getting the Yellow OD and the Delay tomorrow because of your reviews!...Thx again!
I have still have the Mosky reverb on my budget board. I felt dirty buying it, but it's such a great pedal. The fact that it was $30 still weirds me out a bit.
Moskys are great, I once played my Yamaha Pacifica 112V to Mosky Crazy Tone to Fender Frontman 10G with a touch of delay and hall reverb from a ZOOM G2, and it was jazzy !
🤣
Their Rat clone isn't bad.
I have several Mosky's. All good stuff.
Hey man, does it still work? They are sooo cheap its scary hehe Here on Brazil they legit cost 1/3 the price of even Behringer pedals
About the price is should be. $200 pedals are just taking the piss.
Ryan is the best pedal demonstrator on RUclips.
Just discovered this brand about a week ago while hunting for affordapedals due to how everything I once owned that cost £30-50 a decade ago is now going for £200 on average, which I refuse to pay. Ended up buying a Dolamo "Vintage Distortion" (3 x ProCo RAT clone) for £12, a Danelectro Cool Cat for £35 and Behringer Space-C for £55. Three pedals for half of what certain single Ibanez/Boss pedals cost.
The Dolamo Vintage Distortion is super impressive. Was worth buying for the Turbo RAT mode alone - it's meaty and defined without being piercing if you set the filter right, pinch harmonics leap out with ease and it cleans up well (on it's own or with the guitar volume control). Being that bowled over and then hearing the Overdrive as well demoed by our friend Ryan here I decided to order that from Reverb too.
With how expensive branded pedals are now there is most definitely a gap in the market for super budget clones of classic circuits that don't break the bank. I might be a semi-pro musician but I am definitely not a gear snob nor a purist, and I can already see places where I can use these, for recording or gigging.
Main drawback is they all require mains power; battery is not an option. I feel this is part of where they cut costs. However, they're also clearly designed by engineers who along the way genuinely did give a s**t about tonal quality as they're not especially noisy plus they cascade well together. Cheap and most definitely cheerful, plus the construction is a lot better than it has a right to be at this price point.
I'm not sure if care about any of these specific ones, but I'm happy to see them not doing the standard mini pedal format. They always feel a bit wobbly on my board.
just ordered one ( 24€s), for strat neck pup jazzy purposes after my always-on Mad Prof Simble, very active bass n treb controls sealed the deal!😎
the D-8 is soo jazzy clean soft brilliant eq!😎😎
Came back to see this one after another Dolamo vid, gotta say the blue redo paint job REALLY looks good, man.
Thanks! I’m really happy with it.
Damn..their ALL distortions?!need some PITCH SHIFT and DELAY PEDALS at maybe these prices,not car or rent prices!great video though sir.definitely subscribing so keep ‘em coming with AFFORDABLE PEDAL REVIEWS!!
A video of opening the pedals and listing thier caline counterparts would be awesome. You have to be getting clicks on this.its the only dolamo vid on youtube
Honestly I think dolomo are just old versions of caline pedals from the old parts bin. Caline keeps updating their lineup
I have a Starcaster coming tomorrow!
I think you definitely should've demoed that black distortion with a more heavy metal guitar. The fender quack isn't really doing that metal pedal justice, I think. Great review tho. I think I'm going to pick up that yellow one!
Also damn, I wish you could hook that middle knob on the delay to an expression pedal. Sweeping that around was so damn cool
Slipknot plays a tele.
@@RAID5_Aesthetic yeah with fucking high gain EMGs. The shape the wood is cut into doesn't matter
@@joedoherty1062pickups do not alter tone and this has been proven…
These are all Caline pedals, but in a smaller box....eliminating the battery space (since Caline stopped putting 9V battery clips in their pedals anyway).
The first orange OD is definitely the Caline Pure Sky "Timmy" clone in a different enclosure. Great pedal.
I have the compressor and fuzz and I'm considering others. Good and sturdy, but I don't actually stomp on mine. The OD - if it's like the Tubescreamer I'll get one. Yup power input is not a good place - put in on top guys! A good pedal should have in's and out's on the top.
I gave it a try, and it works: my Dolamo D-8 can run at 18 volts!
I just got the yellow overdrive and really like it, but mine is microphonic. When I tap the button or the case I can hear it in the amp. Not really an issue since I'm using it as an always on pedal, but I'm curious to hear if anyone else has the same issue? With the gain at 9 o'clock and level at 3 o'clock it works as a really nice, rich sounding boost to a high gain sound, wonderful characteristics.
I don't think that yellow OD is a Klone, because if it was it would go 100% clean with gain at minimum (since it's actually a sort of blend control).
Hey that was an awesome review you did on delamo pedals living in a global community that we're going to have to get used to eventually here in America electronics are electronics and I would say I've been in electronics for 8 years and you're only as good as your build and the parts you use so it's really a matter of who's designed who's designing this sound and what type of quality parts are using it might not even be a quality issue anymore it's just the right parts the right timing the right person doing the build and for $25 you just can't beat him I've got three pedals of these new I don't know you can call and hybrids or something and I really think they're awesome I'm a bass player and I'm using them on my base and I just don't have any problem with him playing at home I'm not a band member or anything and I think they're awesome great video keep them up
They are Caline repackaged. Have seen pcb shots that confirmed this.
Ah, Nux&Twinote all over again
Ok... But that's good or bad? I mean, I'm really curious about it considering I am not that familiar with Caline.
@@onerandombruh All my experience with Caline has been good…especially the Orange Burst and the Pure Sky.
I've had the Orange Burst, Big Orange, and Highwayman, and they're all different. The Highwayman is the lowest gain, and the Big Orange is similar to the Orange Burst, but brighter sounding.
I bought a few on Temu and that black distortion is great. It responds well to backing off the volume on the guitar, The orange distortion is reportedly an Exotic RC booster copy. and it too is great. They have a Rat that's good too. Only wish they were smaller..
I have the orange burst from caline, which I think is very similar to dolamo orange od
Love this cheap pedal but sadly after its being reviewed the price always go up. To me 30 dollars is equivalent to 1 month worth of food. Many sellers are getting greedy just because the product have a good review. Love your video and I wish sellers to not increase their price so people in country with weak currency can afford and enjoy playing guitar with effects.
Holy shiot, $30 is a month of food? Where are you living? $30 is about 3 days if I scimp and I thought that was doing good.
@@erpringle I live in Malaysia where 30 USD is equal to RM120++. If say a can of coke cost like 2 or 3 USD in the US, a can of coke in my country will cost like RM1.20 which is only 0.30 USD. Food may be cheap but our salaries or wages are also cheap. Those who have a degree may get a better paying jobs but sadly not everyone are lucky.
@@xjohnjoe7219 I really feel for you dude and feel very sad that the world we live in has people earn so little, work really hard and still struggle to survive and have little money to buy food, so yes it must be very hard for you to even consider even buy a cheap end guitar pedal, then there are others in the world who probably don’t even think how much they spend on food everyday, they probably don’t care what they spend and live an extravagant life.
I live in the UK and don’t earn a lot of money compared to many people who live in the UK but I’m sure I probably have bit better lifestyle.
Mate I would like to maybe send you a couple of guitar pedals I no longer use if I can afford the shipping charge to send them to you, so don’t be afraid to contact me as I would like to help a fellow musician/guitarist out, wishing you all the best, Steve
@@thedeadxtras9927 That's very generous of you but it's okay. I've already got myself a better job and ironically its with Roland Manufacturing that manufacture Boss pedals and Boss Katana Amp in Malaysia. Things turn out great for me and thank you for your kind offer. Have a nice day to you.
eBay
Sweet affordaboard, that neon delay rules!!
In about a couple of years there'll be pedals for 5 bucks.
I wish lmao
Hey, Ryan. I'm jumping on the affordable band wagon and wondering what you would recommend for a budget pedal with a W.A. Julia or Julianna vibe (ha ha see how I did that?) I own a Behringer vintage time machine but it's just not giving me that "wet dream" sound. I want a pedal that is Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins (before B, Corgan got throat punched), David Bowie and Blinker the Star all in one lunch box! Thanks.
I bought the delay. I wanted an additional delay and love the color. I'm a big fan of neon/fluorescent colors
How's it going? Dead or alive😳
@@melodicshredder5834 alive
I hate to say it, but if you're going to do a Green OD afford-a-shootout, consider the DemonFX Tube Screamer ii - 808 and TS9 circuit switchable, and hs a decent volume boost, too. I didn't want to like it so much, but when I A/B'd it against my TS9 on my board in the boost position, it actually did a better job for my purpose there.
Think that orange 4-knob overdrive might be a BB preamp clone. If that's the case, it IS basically a Tubescreamer that has an extra op-amp driven two-band EQ. I'd probably also try swapping it and the amazon distortion around and have the distortion before that drive
Love your offset guitar collection
I like the box. Metal is different (painted over compressed oatmeal). That neon delay is making me seasick (feeling whooozy now). Yellow OD is great. Delay is good (makes an idling funny-car sound-cool). Great sounds paired with each other. Single coils? Thanks.
Saw these on AliExpress, considering picking one up
I did my own test. Grabbed a tube screamer sd1 ds1 demalo boost and a anolgue distortion pedal and a behringer eq. The little black disttortion one with fat and thin. The boost somehow lowered my volume? We all know the tube screamer and sd1 are amazing. But that 20 dolkar temu distortion pedal i think is awesome? I keep saying my brain is backwards because this thing can't sound this good? I think it does? Definitely better than the ds1. The eq 700 works as an eq and boost. I think I'm getting a boss or something from jhs? For 30 bucks it works. It feels like a toy.
I think I may need to increase the amount of black representation on my board 🤘🏽, it will go well with the Revecho thru my Zombie
Hearing your mistake in reverse... is that like when your wife repeats back something stupid that you just said???
That feels to familiar to not be a thing!
Duuude I’m lovin’ this
that yellow od pedal sounded real good
DUDE! Got one of these yesterday out of pure curiosity bc there were no reviews
Which one? Is it any good?
How are the pedals holding up now? Any issues with the reliability?
Yellow D8 OVERDRIVE 🔥and neon Delayyyyyy D14 🔫
The yellow drive might be a Xotic AC booster nod? Sounds like the right flavour and has the bass and treble pot's. If so i'd enjoy hearing one compared to a Mooer Flex boost.
I definitely want that Neon Delay if it can still be had.
I have the yellow OD, it really is a nice dirt box. My guitar tends to live on in the surlier parts of Twang Town. It's good to have a dirt box like this that I can add more dirt and some low end for an express train to Rock City.
hi i just got one and i was wondering if i need a battery clip converter so that it’s powered by battery ? i’m trying to figure it out on my own but i can’t get it to turn on haha
@@julianaanguyen7005 No battery option in the pedal, it needs to be powered externally. The simplest way is with a pretty common 9v pedal power supply. There are clips available that would allow you to plug a 9v battery into the power jack that is next to the output jack. Third option would be cord that converts USB to 9 pedal power supply. the USB connection can be plugged into a phone charger, a back up phone battery or even a computer. You may also
have to have the input and or output cables plugged in to get it to power up.
The red distortion sounded (and looked a bit like) an MI Audio Super Crunch Box (v1). The black one sounded like a Rat IMO.
One Control/Bearfoot Dyna Red Distortion - which may or may not be a take on Crunch Box. It took a few versions to get to four knobs for MI Audio, whereas One Control/Bearfoot had Pres/LoMid by v2.
The black distortion sounds like a Plexi variant.
I'm hearing a bit of a nano Metal Muff vibe with the gain up.
The yellow overdrive description on Amazon states it is a clone of the Xotic AC Booster.
RC Booster
I have the compressor, and it’s a Caline.
Most of these Amazon pedals are usually the same but with different logos
20:45 Karma police end :D
i demand more blindingly neon pedals available for purchase as i need them
I'm finding I really like the Caline OEM pedals. I've had great luck with them and the Joyo ones. I'm curious which caline pedals the distortions are based on?
dolamo d4 is caline cp 14, english man, which is carl martin plexitone.
D-8 is CP-18 Orange Burst
D-11 (which is not included here, just in case you find it) is CP-34
D-14 is CP-19
Hey, Ryan. I'm fairly certain it's pronounced Dough La Moe. It could also be pronounced Dough Lamo. Either way is probably fine, lol! Anyway. They all sounded decent, but I liked the green overdrive most.
Afford a board tube screamers shoot out sounds good!! Thanks!
I'm liking that Starcaster
I really like the black one. The gain range is really great!
I am digging that one more than the red pedal. The tone is more 2000s. Red pedal is 80s hair metal, hence it sounds dated.
As a kid, i may not like the first pedal. But now as a 44 yr old .. im digging it.
They're made by Caline, and they put the power input in that same place on all their pedals.
Pre is usually a pre gain not presence the red one is supposed to be a triple rec in a box
The Dollamo is probably made by Caline ...But according to Dollamo in China it is a knockoff of an Xotic RC Booster. I have compared them. The Dollamo is just a bit coarser but in an organic way. The Xotic is has a brighter glossier sound. My guess the schematic is the same but Xotic are throwing a few bucks more for parts.
The pedals fit your playing.
I almost want the red and tbh I want the yellow
With the "outbreak" of affordable pedals I have been inspired to build a small board myself. Thanks for the vids they are very helpful!
i found a company that does "pedal packs" you get 4 effects pedals and a tuner plus a case designed with power adapters and patch cables, for about 150 pounds stirling
@@kevinmorrice That's a good idea! I wish someone in the states would do that.
Yeah man, buying a buch of aliexpress micro pedals and assembling pedalboards that fit in the gigbag pocket
i was looking at one of those Strat's the other day & that head stock is truly ridiculous
The full affordaboard has seven pedals (plus a power supply and the patch cables) .... how does it compare with a reasonable multifx for the same price?
You can certainly pick up a Line 6 floor unit (2nd hand) cheaper .... just pondering :D
Obviously with the affordaboard you can keep buying more cheap pedals and swapping them in, which you can't with a mutli .... and obviously spending $25 every couple of months is a lot cheaper way of doing GAS.
It’s a valid decision to make. Even a new pod go isn’t too far outside an affordaboard range considering all it does. It really comes down to person preference and rig needs.
I like you tone coming from your fingers
I pass on these. The power supply input should be on the back like most other pedals. They made it stupid by naming 2 of them overdrive, the green should be super overdrive, and 2 named distortion when the black one is metal. Anyone agree?
Agreed, they need more descriptive names. Three distortions??!??
great review. we have same tastes.
Good review :)
Some online are saying the D9 (Red) is a Caline Sand Storm clone. Knobs seem to correspond.
I wish the manufacturers could standardize the power tap hole. On the left side behind the output jack is the dumbest place to put it. All power tap should be on the top.
Pigtone use the same boxes all their stuff is 3 knob. Caline sell some pedals with Dolamo/Caline on them and Caline have Dolamo asc. like D/C adaptors and power supply boxes. Dolamo are sold by Walmart and Best Buy too.often I can trace back to a factory but though I am not done I usually am getting close. Not today. I agree they sound and look like they have been around awhile.
Dolomo are just older versions of caline pedals, that's why they cost a bit less
You will have to be specific. I have bought and reviewed the Caline pedals for years. Early ones came in bent metal and nothing in cast boxes had a casing this size 6.6 cm x 9.7 cm x 3.00cm. The 9.7 cm is really unusual. In a picture the pedal looks bigger than it is because it looks like a big pedal when it is MXR Phase 90 box size with the top chopped off. If they copied the schematic yes. When a company makes clones they simply paint the box a different color and use the same guts. They do not dumb down the parts. It is cheaper to just order more parts and get a discount for quantity orders on both their make and the clone. Contrary to popular belief China pedals are booted out by high tech equipment. Doing a run of 2000 pieces of one pedal is not unusual.With that quantity and speed of production you can not have unreliability or use loose money on returns. Even tested pedals that do not work are scraped. Mooer make about pedals for 25 different wholesalers all with different names a few sell for a bit more than a Mooer and some for 1/3 of the price
BUT ...they are the same inside & out. I redesign guitars for manufacturers ...mostly China so they can be booted out. I know how things are done. On things like pedals the latest parts are smaller cheaper and more reliable reliable. If Caline made the pedal it would have to at least be made using the same box otherwise it would be cheaper to sell their recent pedals with a different paint job.The only company that I know that sells an old pedal in a new box is Joyo and that is because they still sell the pedal in a nano pedal box fitted with a plastic attachable cover.The new box still fits same circuit board.
take a d4, open the pedal, you can read on the pcb 'caline cp14'. so it is clear that is a batteryless version of the caline cp14 which in turn is a clone of the carl martin plexitone. I suspect other pedals are calines with no battery.
Did you enjoy the pedal? It's noisy? I bought the D8 and it is satisfying good. So I am curious about the D4 and D11.
@@Andre-Azevedo It's not noisy, I don't like it that much as long as I am not a big fan of the original Carl Martin. if you're after the plexitone and the d11 original schem (dunno what it is) absolutely go for them!
