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.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.
