The Carl Martin Red Repeat 2016 Edition Guitar Pedal brings a classic delay/echo effect into the modern age. This pedal takes your guitar signal and repeats it after a set time, just like the old - school Echoplexes and Space Echoes. It's a great alternative to reverb, and can add a fat, percussive flavor to your playing or create long delays for you to play over.
The Echo control adjusts the intensity of the effect, from a faint hint to a slap - back sound of two guitars playing together. The Tone control tweaks the EQ of the echoed signal while keeping your original signal's EQ intact. The Time control sets the gap between the original and echoed signals from 0 to 600 milliseconds, and the Repeat control decides how many echoes each signal produces.
This pedal has been used by legends like Les Paul, Chet Atkins, and David Gilmour to shape their signature sounds. For the 2016 Edition, Carl Martin added two cool features. The Tap Tempo function lets you set the echo spacing according to the song's tempo by simply tapping the footswitch. The Modulation switch, along with Depth and Speed mini - pots, can create a vintage 'wow and flutter' effect for your echoes, adding a new dimension to your solos.
Using the Carl Martin Red Repeat 2016 Edition Guitar Pedal is easy. First, plug your guitar into the pedal and then connect the pedal to your amplifier. Adjust the Echo, Tone, Time, and Repeat controls to get the sound you want. If you want the echoes to match the song's tempo, flip the Manual Time switch towards the Red Repeat label and tap the Tap Tempo footswitch to the beat. When you flip the Manual Time switch away, use the Time knob to set the echo spacing.
For the Modulation effect, engage the Modulation switch and adjust the Depth and Speed mini - pots to mimic the vintage tape echo sound.
Remember, delays can be placed before or after your distortion pedals, but usually after amplitude effects. Keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If there's any issue, check the connections first. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer.
