CARL MARTIN VINTAGE SERIES RED REPEAT
Updated version of the original bean shaped Red Repeat. The newer Red Repeat boasts a smaller footprint width to save precious pedal board space, as well as an improved powder coated aluminum enclosure.
Based on the infamous Carl Martin Delayla, the 'Red Repeat' provides an affordable 600 milliseconds of delay as well as a simply controlled echo. Add just a touch of delay to thicken your sound, or push the echo circuit past 12o'clock where the unit begins to self-oscillate, just like an old analog delay. Great vintage style and colour in a heavy diecast, 9 volt pedal with heavy duty bypass switching.
HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:
Sound Quality: 9 The delay is warm and lush, the toneknob can make it very dark and murky, that way you really can get those delay feedbacks up and playing loud without going selfdestruct, and I also used it without any dirtboxes and let the amp distort, by turning down the echo and the tone, I could get useable delays with a loop, just using the guitars volumeknob as control for clean and dirt sounds. In normal setup with other pedals it worked as it should, it also kept my signal well alive, and the delay did not compress or squash up the sound, clean warm delays, with a hint of that funny analouge funkyness, I digged the various sounds coming from it, for such a simple design they sure made it worth its money, not that it is expensive in any way. Even without using the tone the delay was very pleasing and on the warm fat side, good solid feedback. It could also do the selfdestruct thingy, trippy and fun. This is one good solid unit, good sounds, good tone, not very expensive, sounds alot better than some of the other delays I have used, some alot more expensive than this one, I just wanted a solid performer with a nice tone, and I got one for sure! Got a nice delay lenght too, 600ms is quite enough for me, sounds great on the longest setting too. Short delays are quite cool and authentic too, I think that they made themselves a hit here.Sound Quality: 10
The sound is just as good as the ergonomics. The tone knob allows me to brighten the echo a bit, something I like, but most people don't. You can also use the tone knob to go as dark as you need, which many people say is what they look for in a delay unit. Bottom line is that you have the ability to do either using the Tone knob. This pedal has 600ms of delay, which for me is plenty. Slapback rockabilly, power ballad, surf, whatever, they all sound very natural. Great sounding pedal.
