Manual
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.
The Carl Martin DeLayla XL is able to capture one of the hardest sounds: That authentic rock'n roll slapback
echo, that digital processors are unable to emulate.
Sample Settings
Echo and slapback activated, and with SB-trim in center position will give a slapback effect with the second tone
head 50% after the original echo (double the tempo).

ECHO FEEDBACK
Echo and slapback activated, and with SB-trim clockwise will give an effect with the second tone head
between 50-90 % after the original echo, these settings will with longer feedback settings give a more on beat
rhythm pattern depending on the actual SM-trim setting.
