The Kilobyte by Caroline Guitar Company is a versatile delay effect pedal designed for electric guitars. It features an analog signal path for the unprocessed signal, with an Attack control that determines the distortion of the echoes. The Clock controller determines the delay time, while the Sum controller determines the number of repetitions. Additionally, the modulation control determines the modulation of repetitions, and the pedal also includes a Havoc foot switch that activates temporary self-oscillation. The Kilobyte is true bypass and housed in a metal casing. It operates with a 9VDC power supply and is made in the USA.
The pedal does not require a special power supply or adapter cable and is true bypass with a high-quality, rugged 3PDT mechanical switch. It also includes a fifth control knob for controlling the "Tacos," which allows for subtle pitch shifting and detuning in the repeats. The Kilobyte is available in various colors, including black, light blue, and grey, with no sonic differences between them.
The maximum delay time in milliseconds is not specified, but it is promised to be over 500 milliseconds, with some units reportedly reaching up to 815 milliseconds. The pedal can get noisy past 12:00 on the binary clock due to the PT2399 chip's design, which is intended to create a textured, degraded sound.
The Kilobyte is not tap-tempo, as the design is not well-suited for that functionality due to the noisy and gritty nature of the chip at higher delay times. Instead, it focuses on creating a smeared, degraded sound and includes the Havoc option for high-pass filtered runaway oscillation.
Overall, the Kilobyte by Caroline Guitar Company offers a wide range of features and functionality for creating warm vintage delays to chaotic noise landscapes, making it a versatile and unique addition to any guitarist's setup.
