I was born in 1980. My first computer was a MSX with a cassette to load games and some ( 2 ) games in cartridges that you had to put inside the own computer. I fuc&!n@ understand what you are saying about having fun with simple but absolutely magical new stuff. The kilobyte is a jewel

First pedal demo where I nearly shed a tear. Seriously: "Let's turn it on and let the echoes of a not-so-distant past, fill the room." I had to pause the video and take that in. I also grew up in the 80's, with these toys that had ridiculously playful functionality and tape effects. (I even still have my Casio Sk-1 that I bought from my brother's friend for $3 back in the day). Thanks for taking the time to merge aesthetic vision, great composition, and poetic description to illustrate how to use well these boxes of tones , timbres, and aural landscapes that we all love so much.

I have to say, Stefan, your production quality/style paired with a keen eye for a very inspiring tonal palette really create a very accessible and artistic KZread experience. I always enjoy your videos, whether it leads to a sale or not, I always consider every pedal...and I hope these companies are taking good care of you. To date I have bought 9 pedals (all of which I first encountered on your channel). Cheers, Stefan! -Rich

Wait, games used to be on cassette tapes?!?! Beautiful playing, extraordinary demo! Also, my name is Caroline...which makes this pedal extra tempting, lol

I grew up playing a Commodore 64 128. Anyone old enough to remember this? Load “*” ,8,1 You’d have to type that to boot up the game you wanted to play. Kung Fu Master was my favorite on that system.

I was interested in this pedal because of learning that Dave Cobb using it in the studio, and then your video sold me on it. As an 80s kid your video has the warm-fuzz vibe of nostalgia that grabbed me and I find myself watching the video sometime just for the vibe and tones. This has changed how I'm playing and writing. I use it on acoustic guitar, and vocals too. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic demo of the features, gorgeous playing, and a wonderful summary that expertly relates personal experience to this creativity juggernaut of a pedal. Never thought a pedal demo could make me feel like this one did. Beautiful video that I find myself coming back to all the time :)

I've been watching your videos for almost two hours and I can't get enough of it. Simplicity, clarity, appropriate playing according to the effects you show... Great job man. That guy you are is a real cool guy. I'm a saxophonist by the way. If you have the chance to do reviews of pedals with a horn player, it would be amazing. I'm not the only one looking for this kind of stuff on the internet... Because there is practically nothing except on forums and meh... You would be the first to do such videos. And I would totally agree with that, so would a ton more people for sure. Good luck to you man !

Thank you so very much, man! Can't describe how much your kindness means to me :) Since the Kilobyte is an analog-voiced delay, I would go with something a tad brighter to pair it with. A nice Echoplex-like tape delay or just a pristine digital delay could be the ticket. I really dig the EQD Avalanche Run, EQD Dispatch Master, EQD Space Spiral and Catalinbread Belle Epoch for that delay style. Check 'em out and let me know what you think :) All the best Stefan

Thanks for yet another excellent demo, your earnest passion for sounds is refreshing and inspiring. Good on ya!

Meet Maude is much much darker, gritty and washy. Kilobyte is more like a Deluxe Memory Man. Actually the closest thing I've heard to an old Deluxe Memory Man. Both are great delay pedals. Go Meet Maude if you want the sound of old tape on the verge of destruction. Go Kilobyte if you want more modern analog-voiced delay tones. I love both delays but have definitely used Kilobyte the most. It just fits better into the music I make.

Hi Stefan hopefully it isn't too late to get a response but how would you say this compares to the DOD Rubberneck?

@thepedalzone

5 жыл бұрын

Hey, man! Never too late for responses here ☺I honestly have no idea how it compares, since I've never played the DOD Rubberneck. So sound-wise, I don't know. Feature-wise they are very different. Rubberneck is an all-analog delay with tap tempo, fx loop, modulation etc etc. Kilobyte is one of the most finely tuned analog-voiced delays out there. It's digital by technology, but filtered to sound like an analog delay. Very reminiscent of the old EHX Memory Man. Sounds incredible.

Commodore VIC-20 for me! ;)

Does havoc oscillate indifenitely as long as you keep it pressed?

@thepedalzone

Yes, but it will oscillate like an analog delay, so it will get louder and louder and harsher and harsher the longer you keep it down. It won't do endless lingering feedback pads you can play over, if that's what you want.

A warm echo like this one was just made for free-roaming ambience behind your notes, so tap tempo isn't a deal breaker for me. This thing just sounds amazing, and the Havoc switch is both musical and fun. One of my all-time favorite delays.
