The Emmylou is the Canine Chaos Society's tape echo delay — warm PT2399 repeats with a wobble like an old cassette, named for NOKILL's original good girl.
Every pedal in the Canine Chaos Society is a real rescue dog, and Emmylou is where the pack started. She's the roughly nine-year-old ride-or-die "original good girl" — a pit/heeler/husky/shepherd/chow mix and then some — raised in a taphouse and in love with everyone she meets. Her circuit is the glue of the pack: the last pedal in the chain, the one that ties the whole sound together.
Under the hood she's built on the beloved PT2399 chip for warm, analog-style echoes, with a custom modulation LFO that warps the repeats like a cassette left in the sun — from dreamy lo-fi warble to full VHS-meltdown territory. 10% of every sale goes to One Tail at a Time West Texas (OTAT WTX), the rescue where her packmates Ruthie and Juniper were saved.

FAQ
Who is Emmylou? Emmylou is one of NOKILL founder Alex's real rescue dogs — the original good girl of the pack — and this delay pedal carries her name, face, and story for good.
Does buying The Emmylou support a rescue? Yes. 10% of every sale goes to One Tail at a Time West Texas (OTAT WTX), the West Texas rescue where packmates Ruthie and Juniper were saved.
How do the Speed and Depth knobs work? Speed sets how fast the tape-warp modulation moves; Depth sets how much pitch wobble it adds. Together they take you from subtle wow-and-flutter to seasick warble.
Does it work on bass? Yes — it adds atmospheric texture without losing low end.
What power supply do I need? Standard 9V DC center-negative. Isolated supplies are recommended for the cleanest repeats.
