Kilobyte 2000

Delay

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.

•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.

Calling our Kilobyte a “Lo-Fi Delay” was always more than just marketing. 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.

We think this is a really delightful device and we’re honored to bring this to our customers.
