This image displays the top panel of the Caline CP-60 pedal, featuring six control knobs: Volume, Low, High, Drive, Mix, and Harmonics, along with the footswitch and an indicator LED.

• VOLUME: Controls the overall output level of the pedal.
• LOW: Adjusts the amount of low-frequency equalization.
• HIGH: Adjusts the amount of high-frequency equalization.
• DRIVE: Controls the amount of overdrive/gain applied to the signal. Higher settings result in more distortion.
• MIX: Blends the dry (unaffected) signal with the wet (effected) signal. Turn clockwise for more effect, counter-clockwise for more dry signal.
• HARMONICS: Adjusts the presence and character of the harmonic content, influencing the pedal's tube-like tone.
• FOOTSWITCH: Engages or bypasses the effect. The LED indicates whether the effect is active (on) or bypassed (off).

6. Power Supply

The Caline CP-60 Wine Cellar pedal requires a 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity. The minimum current draw is 50mA. Using an incorrect power supply type or voltage can damage the pedal and void the warranty. Always use a regulated power supply designed for guitar pedals.

• When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Caline CP-60 pedal, consider the following:

• No Sound:
  • Check all cable connections (instrument, amplifier, power).
  • Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and functioning (9V DC, center negative).
  • Verify that the footswitch LED is illuminated when the effect is intended to be active.
  • Test with different cables or a different power supply if available.
• Unwanted Noise/Hum:
  • Ensure you are using a regulated power supply. Unregulated power supplies can introduce noise.
