MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal (M169)

Product Information

The Carbon Copy Deluxe also has a subdivision control which means you can split the repeats into dotted 8th, 8th, 16th notes or even triplets. The Tap Division feature, with an easy-to-read status display, gives you four different subdivisions: dotted 8ths, 8ths, triplets, and 16ths.

The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp “bathroom” slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. With a bright switch for more top-end (if you want the delays to cut through the mix) and a modulation switch which adds a chorusy tone to your repeats. The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay features a completely analog audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay-made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology.So the solution is to put the CC in the (parallel) FX loop, so the distortion comes before the delay. This review will be about the MXR Carbon Copy and will represent my experience and subjective opinion about this wonderful delay pedal. With almost double the amount of delay time on offer than the majority of analog delays on the market and a simple yet effective modulation switch, the MXR Carbon Copy Delay goes the extra mile. From sound, to handling, to quality and to feeling it is one thing: A pedal with an unique character.

The Bright switch toggles between the original Carbon Copy pedal’s dark, mellow wash and the Bright version’s vibrant articulation. It’s a simple addition but it makes a big difference, especially when you’re playing at louder volumes. The straight-forward layout of Regen, Mix, and Delay controls on the Carbon Copy provide an extremely open-ended array of delay tones to work with. If you require a delay pedal for subtle ambience, the Carbon Copy won’t let you down, or if you use delay as the back bone of creating riffs the Carbon Copy will provide you with a lot to play with.

For players looking to get their feet wet with delay, the Carbon Copy has served as an easy choice for years, earning its spot in the pantheon of modern pedalboard standards. Love the look and sound of this pedal, the online reviews I'd looked at proved to be pretty accurate, a great warm, natural sound. The Carbon Copy Analog Delay delivers rich, warm bucket-bridgade delay with up to 600ms of delay time and modulation. Its rich bucket-brigade warmth, elegant simplicity, and healthy reserve of delay time have endeared it to guitar players around the world—weekend warriors and recording pros alike.
