Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Analog-voiced delay pedal with a 20ms to 1200ms range and AC power. For players building ambient or long-repeat textures on a powered pedalboard.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Long repeat washes for ambient, post-rock and shoegaze parts
  • Slapback and doubling at the short end of the range
  • Boards with a spare AC outlet rather than 9V daisy chains

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players running an all-9V pedalboard supply
  • Anyone needing tap tempo or preset recall
  • Tight boards — this is over 7 inches deep

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Carl Martin EchoTone Delay Guitar Effects Pedal construction detail

Detail 01

1200ms maximum delay

Repeats can trail well past a second, enough for slow ambient layering rather than just rhythmic echoes.

Detail 02

20ms minimum delay

Short enough for slapback and chorus-adjacent doubling, not just discrete repeats.

Detail 03

100 or 115 or 230 VAC mains power

Runs off wall voltage, not a 9V pedalboard supply. You need an outlet at the board.

Detail 04

1 mOhm input impedance

High enough not to load down passive pickups, so your guitar keeps its top end when the pedal is in line.

Detail 05

40Hz-16kHz frequency range

Full-range enough for bass and clean guitar; repeats are not aggressively rolled off at the top.

Detail 06

68 dB signal-to-noise ratio

Some audible noise floor at high gain settings. Fine in a band mix, noticeable in a quiet room.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Needs a mains outlet at the pedalboard — no 9V battery or daisy-chain option
  2. 02At 7-5/16 inches deep it eats a full row on most boards
  3. 03Confirm the voltage version matches your country's mains supply

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How long are the delay times?

20 milliseconds up to 1200 milliseconds. That covers slapback at the short end and long ambient trails past a full second at the top.

02Can I power it from my pedalboard supply?

Not from a standard 9V supply. It runs on 100, 115 or 230 VAC mains at 50-60Hz, so it needs a wall outlet.

03Does it have tap tempo?

Tap tempo is not part of this pedal. Delay time is set by knob.

04How much room does it take on a board?

7-5/16 inches deep by 4-3/4 inches wide by 2-1/8 inches tall. Plan for a deep row and clearance for the power cable.
