Description
 
CARL MARTIN DELAYLA XL.

The Carl Martin DeLayla XL is designed and developed with one goal in mind: To create a superior echo pedal, with the same sonic quality as the original DeLayla but with new extended features, yet incorporating some of the same features used in vintage tape delay units.

To achieve this, we have incorporated a second delay head (slapback) (similar to using two heads simultaneously on a tape delay).

The SLAPBACK footswitch is used to turn the second delay head on or off.
The SLAPBACK knob controls the mix of main delay vs. second delay head. Clockwise movement favors the second delay head; Counter clockwise favors the main delay.
The SB-TRIM knob fine tune the second delay head's time setting compared to the original delay head, by this it's possible to create different delay patterns, going from strict slapback to way offbeat. The TEMPO tap is a real time tempo learn function, allowing you to foot tap the delay time to match the exact beat of the song.

The Carl Martin DeLayla XL also features a built in regulated power supply. The result is a warm, smooth sound reminiscent of the vintage tape units used in the 50's and 60's, combined with modern features. It is able to capture one of the hardest sounds: That authentic rock'n roll slapback echo, that digital processors are unable to emulate.


HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:

Sound Quality: 9
The delay is nice and on the warmer side, gets slightly midrangy when it delays tones out(cool lo-fi quality), it has its own personality for sure. Never muddy and blends good with your own sound, the first delay sounds very close to your org sound. Sounds good with od and distortion, it can take alot of input without a hitch. No noise that is worth bothering about, very quiet operation when clean, the noise when you use od/dist is most likely your amp or dirtpedal, it does not add extra noise.

Sound Quality: 9
No noise, very quiet operation, the slapback sets in after the first repeat at half the maintime. You can set the head to doubling the main delay and totally opposite.
 
Sound Quality: 9
The repeats has a ghostly airy sound when they have gone beyond 4 repeats, the first 3 repeats are very warm and sounds very pleasent. Very spaceous and lush. My Plexi sounded very good with this delay, both clean and with dirt was a most rewarding experience, very highquality analoge like tones. Added a cool spacious feel, had some fun Gilmoure moments with this one. Plus if you set the second head loud enough, it will selfoscillate. Had some fun moments with that. Otherwise I liked the gallop quality and it behaved much like one of those old tapedelays. Very vintage in behaviour. Had no noise, even at loud volumes there was nothing but the amps own natural hum, which is not very loud as it is.
