Description

Here’s what Caroline Guitar Company say:

We are proud to present to you the Twentieth Century’s delay pedal of the future…the Caroline KILOBYTE 2000! Based on our original KilobyteTM delay from 2013, described by our customers as their “gateway drug to boutique” because there was nothing else out there quite like it.

While the sound is still familiar and beautiful, the features have been expanded from the original and include special edition mods offered to our MEGABYTE release from 2020.

Key Features

  • Delay time up to one full second.
  • Trails bypass and tap tempo control.
  • A new sharpness control lets the user set the preamp’s gain range and its voicing from “bark” to “bite”
  • A havoc control adjusts the intensity of the runaway effect when held down.
  • An external FX loop allows you to put other effects just on the repeats of the delay, or to get a 100% wet signal for other applications.

We deliberately compromised the dynamic range and frequency response to be different not only from other digital delays of the era, but also from other popular devices that used the PT-2399 “karaoke echo” chip.

We didn’t smother it to make it sound “analog”, but we also didn’t try to clean it up. In fact, with a dedicated drive preamp just for the wet side, we wanted players to clip the repeater circuit and make it even nastier.

About the manufacturer

Caroline Guitar Company

Caroline Guitar Company is a small-batch pedal builder based in Columbia, South Carolina. Its effects take familiar starting points—fuzz, overdrive, chorus, delay and reverb—and bend them towards less predictable response, often with controls that reward playing into the circuit. The JustPedals range includes Arigato, Shigeharu, Somersault, Kilobyte and Meteore, covering saturated gain, modulation and lo-fi ambience. Caroline’s strength is character rather than generic neutrality: compare the pedal’s EQ, compression and noise floor with the rest of the rig before assuming a conventional effect label tells the whole story.

Delay Pedals

Delay records the incoming signal for a chosen interval and repeats it after the original note. Feedback returns repeats to the delay line, while tone, filtering, modulation and saturation determine whether echoes remain clear, darken progressively, wobble like tape or degrade like analogue bucket-brigade circuits. Delay time and rhythmic subdivisions govern the spacing and musical pattern of the repeats.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Delay

Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar pedals alter, route, control or support an instrument signal from the floor. The tag covers individual effects, multi-effects, switching, tuning, looping, amplification and pedalboard utilities. The product category and additional effect tags identify the specific job each pedal performs.
