Excellent Delay

by Studio 139 from Kalamazoo, MI
March 13, 2012
Music Background: Recording Engineer
I have owned a lot of analog pedals and this combines the best features with outstanding audio quality. The delayed signal is clean without being sterile, warm without being muddy. The delay time ha... read more [+]s plenty of range for etherial leads and chords and plenty of snap for rock-a-billy. The mod button is a nice addition, I don't mind the trim pots being in the chassis as it prevents them being accidentally altered and taking up valuable room on the face of the pedal. It is a great musical sounding delay. close [-]

Not a pedal to miss

I have tried many delays from Boss digital delay to varying analog delays. A friend of mine had a Carbon Copy and I borrowed it one practice when I didn't have my pedalboard with me. Wow really does... read more [+] say it all. This is about at versatile as you need. I use it in almost every song we have now. If you're looking for a good delay sound and not all the gimmicks a lot of the other guys have, this is the pedal to own.

I actually bought this at the same time as an EH Deluxe Memory Boy. I do use the memory boy for some tap tempo stuff but I don't even think about that pedal for leads or ambient transitions. I did play with it more then the Carbon Copy when I first bought them but the novelty of all the features wore off.

I love clicking this thing on and I don't even feel the need to mess with the settings. There's something so satisfying about setting your knobs on a pedal and knowing that you have defined your sound for the audience and do not need to touch those knobs again.

This is my first MXR pedal and I have no complaints. I will consider buying more of their products in the future. close [-]

Modern Construction, Vintage Sounds

I have lots of high end digital reverbs and delays but they sometime has a dry, sterile effect. I watch a couple of youtube on the Carbon Copy and was impressed. I took a chance and bought one. I tell... read more [+] you what, I was blown away by the warmth and over delay effect. On top of that it's simple to use. Great pedal!! close [-]

A+ Analog Delay Pedal

by Mike from Aberdeen, MD
May 30, 2011
Music Background: Hobbyist
This is an excellent delay pedal.

The delay repeats are "warm", which means they lack highs compared to the original signal. This works very well for high-gain, because high-gain gets ... read more [+]very noisy when the delay repeats are as clear as the source signal. The "warm" repeats sit in the background instead of getting in the way of what you are playing. I actually try to EQ the delay repeats on my Eventide TimeFactor to sound "warm" like the Carbon Copy.

The modulation is perfectly calibrated. It works very well for cleans and high-gain.

This pedal does NOT suck tone in the effects loop of the Mesa Mark V, Diezel Herbert, or Diezel VH4. I have not tried the Carbon Copy before the preamp. I always run it in the effects loop. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
