The Korena take

Red Repeat 2016 Edition gives a guitar signal repeat echoes with up to 600 ms between the original note and its repeat. Echo sets the amount of effect, Time sets the spacing, Tone adjusts the echoed signal's presence without changing the original signal EQ, and Repeat controls how many echoes follow. Switch from the Time knob to Tap Tempo when the echo spacing needs to follow the song's beat. Its modulation section adds adjustable depth and speed to the repeats for vintage tape-echo-style wow and flutter.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Matching echo spacing to a song's tempo by tapping the pedal's Tap Tempo footswitch.
  • Setting short slap-back-style repeats or longer delays to play over.
  • Adding adjustable modulation to the echoed signal for a vintage tape-echo-style effect.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Setups requiring a delay-time setting beyond the pedal's 600-millisecond maximum.
