Carl Martin Red Repeat 2016 Edition Analog Delay Guitar Pedal with Tap Tempo

When we designed Red Repeat, we wanted to keep the experience intuitive while capturing the musical feel of classic tape-style echo. Rather than overloading the pedal with complexity, we focused on controls that react immediately and make sense the moment you start playing. At its core, Red Repeat recreates the character of early echo units — the sense of space created when a signal is repeated after a short delay. From subtle slap-back to longer, rhythmic repeats, the pedal stays musical and clear, with the original signal left intact. The Echo control sets how prominent the repeats are, while the Repeat control determines how many echoes follow each note. Time adjusts the spacing between repeats, ranging up to approximately 600 milliseconds. The Tone control works as a high-cut filter applied only to the echoed signal, allowing us to soften or brighten the repeats without altering the dry tone. We added Tap Tempo to make Red Repeat easy to use in live situations. By switching to Tap Tempo mode, the delay time can be set directly from the footswitch, locking the repeats to the tempo of the song. Switching back returns control to the Time knob for manual adjustment. To bring in the character of vintage tape echo, we included a Modulation section. Engaging modulation and adjusting the Depth and Speed controls introduces subtle pitch movement, recreating the natural wow and flutter associated with older tape-based delays. Used lightly, it adds warmth and movement; pushed further, it becomes a clearly audible texture. Red Repeat is designed to be flexible in real-world rigs. It works equally well for thickening single-note lines, replacing reverb in tighter mixes, or creating longer delays you can play against. Simple to operate, expressive in use, and built to perform on stage.
