Carl Martin Red Repeat

Carl Martin Red Repeat is an echo and bases on the sound of a vintage tape echo with a maximum delay time of 600 milliseconds. The Red Repeat takes this old technology and brings it up to modern standards. This type of effect has been used since the 50’s, and has helped shape the signature sounds of Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Gene Vincent, Brian Setzer, David Gilmour and countless others

The Echo control determines the amount of the effect, from barely noticeable, to sounding like two guitars playing at once (slap-back). The Tone control changes the presence (EQ) of the echoed signal. The Time control adjusts the space between your original signal and the echoed signal from 0 to 600 milliseconds, and finally, the Repeat control determines how many echoes there are from each signal.

For the new improved edition, Carl has added a couple features that various players have asked about. To begin with, an added Tap Tempo function. Simply flip the switch that says Manual Time and with your toe, tap the footswitch marked Tap Tempo to the beat of the song. The second addition is the Modulation switch. By engaging this switch, and adjusting the black mini-pots marked Depth and Speed….you can modulate the echoes of your notes so that they mimick the ‘wow and flutter’ of a vintage tape echo! This subtle effect can bring a whole new dimension to your solo’s, especially if you want them to sound ‘old’.
