Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte | Lo-fi Delay

Introducing the Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte – a pedal that embodies the essence of lo-fi digital delay while preserving the pristine analog signal path. It doesn’t rely on flashy marketing gimmicks; instead, it delivers an unadulterated musical experience. What sets this pedal apart is its +21db boost/overdrive preamp, designed to take a low-fidelity digital delay chip originally meant for karaoke machines and children’s toys and transform it into a canvas for beautiful, smeared, and repeated sonic landscapes.

This pedal offers a unique opportunity for creative exploration. It’s not just a tool; it’s an instrument in its own right. Dialing up the summation knob can send your sound into thrilling, uncontrolled oscillations, while the Havoc momentary foot switch lets you exercise precise control over high-pass filtered oscillations.

Struggling to make your delays cut through the mix without sacrificing your original signal’s definition? The Attack and Level controls are here to help. From crisp, clean slapbacks to gritty, muted echoes and thunderous, powerful repeats, the Kilobyte provides a versatile range of options, all without compromising the integrity of your sound.

As a final touch, a subtle modulation circuit by their friend Jack DeVille adds just the right amount of movement to sweeten the repeats. No hype, no frills, just a pedal that lets you explore the boundless depths of lo-fi delay with humility and authenticity.
