Is Caline Blue Ocean a Direct Clone of Mad Professor Deep Blue
101 Effect Pedal Clones
Now I should add a bit the term "clone". Some of these pedals really are true clones – a direct copy. But for some it's more that the manufacturer was intending to replicate the original design in a general sense. There are threads in forums all over the web about how closely a pedal performs in relation to the original. I'd suggest using this database as a starting point for your own research before you buy. Remember too that there are a bunch of factors (guitar, amp, playing style, other effects etc) that will determine the sound you get from a pedal. In some cases a "clone" may deliver what you want better than the original. Lots of caveats I know, but just wanted to get it out there.
I'm particularly a fan of basic analogue effect pedal clones – simple circuits that for the most part are well known. In the end, it comes down to the quality of components and the quality of the build. That's where I'd again recommend doing some google/forum research before you purchase. Then again, at the price some of these are at it's not the most expensive mistake you'll make. Remember too that they are rarely if ever exactly the same as the original – they are "based" on the original. In some cases you may even prefer what they've done.
Of course, there will always be some debate about whether one should support the effect pedal clones manufacturers. I'll leave that for your own choice, but my pedalboards contain more boutique pedals than clones, and sometimes it's a cheap clone that has led me to eventually purchase "the real thing". In fact, I've often wondered why some of the boutique companies don't release their own clones. Using the very factories in China that are making the ones they see as competitors, they could have their own. A bit like the Squier/Fender situation.
Oh, and at the other end of the scale, you might find this interesting: a list of 20 of the most expensive effects and the sounds they make!
Anyway, here's the list – you can sort the list by either the original or the clone too. I hope it proves useful in your search for new effects to try!
UPDATE
14/12/17: I've just started adding the TC Electronic's line of cheaper pedals. From what I can establish, these are based on the Behringer pedals that are clones of the Boss pedals! Yep, cloning clones – but it does make sense given Behringer own TC Electronic. I'm still missing a few of them but will add them when I find out – or when someone tells me in the comments below!
