Description

The Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte 2000 (KB2K) is the flagship updated version of the original Kilobyte lo-fi delay, featuring 8 controls including a dedicated effects loop that allows other effects to be placed within the delay repeat path for evolving, interactive echo textures. A +21dB overdrive preamp smashes the output of a low-fidelity digital chip originally designed for karaoke machines and toys, producing the characteristic degraded, lo-fi repeat quality. 100% wet output available for creative routing. Tap tempo functionality.

The Ibanez Layer Delayer is a multi-layer digital delay pedal from Ibanez, delivering a layering delay concept that builds harmonic and rhythmic complexity through layered delay repeats. The Layer Delayer enables multiple simultaneous delay layers for ambient, textural, and performance-oriented delay applications. Ibanez quality digital delay with a creative layering concept.
