Product Description
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. This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats) - all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp "bathroom" slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hardwire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package. Available only from Dunlop Manufacturing, the world's leader in analog pedal technology.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I opened up the back and messed around with the Modification Button's trim pots for Speed and Depth. Definitely worth doing, as the slight warbling tape effect of the MOD button was a bit too subtle to my taste. Turned all the way up it delivers a slight chorus type effect that isn't really noticeable until you allow your signal to ring-out. I'll be messing around with this a lot more.
I haven't had a chance to run the pedal through my tube amp yet, and I'm hoping that really improves the signal with the long delay times and lets this pedal really shine. I've heard nothing but good things about it and so far I'm about 50/50 on liking it. It works REALLY well to beef up your tone and give a bit of echo. So far that's probably the highlight of this pedal, is that it sounds very professional, not just a cheap echo-box. HOWEVER, what I was after was a bit more into outer-space, if I wanted to go there, and I'm going to consider getting my DOD Digi Delay/Sampler fixed for precisely that reason. Once I get that done, I really enjoy the tone of the MXR, so I'll probably run the MXR through the DOD and get the sound I'm after.
If anybody has any suggestions as how to improve any of these problems, please let me know!
Two Days Later...
Finally got to run the CC through my tube amp and it performed phenomenally. I don't know if this pedal needs a period of time to be "broken in," but it's now running perfectly and doing everything i expected of it and more. The oscillation of the MOD switch was more prominent than it's been before (I even had to open it up and reduce the speed... the width will probably have to be backed off a little too). The previous delay problems are gone and this thing is a serious monster! The most impressive thing about this pedal is still... the tone. Whether through a transistor (I practice through a Fender Princeton Chorus) or through a tube amp (Crate 50) this pedal will improve your tone like magic. I was really worried I was going to have to get my old DOD Digi Delay fixed... but after breaking this thing in and seeing what it can really do, there's no need for it. Buy this thing, open it up, mess with the MOD switch and enjoy. Well done MXR.
Simple, clean, warm, no hiss, no buzz. Other pedals worthy and affordable - EH Little Big Muff, Boss Super Chorus, Korg tuner, and your choice for a preamp booster for solos (my vote - blow off the snobs and get an affordable Behringer preamp booster pedal) and a compressor pedal to keep it all even. That's plenty for virtually any gig.
The price through Amazon was better than anything I could buy locally.
There's a great video on YT from proguitarshop.com that demos it very well. It's got great short and long delay, very smooth feel and the mod switch adds just the right amount of modulation to your tone to make it a tad fuller. This is not a bright sounding delay, it can be a tad dark at times if you're not careful.
I use this for my long delay sounds and use another delay for short, slap back and echo sounds, it's a Mooer micropedal. They work well together too to get a huge, fuller, ambient type of sound going. I put the Mooer before the MXR in my chain. I use all my pedals right into the front of my amp as there's no effects loop.
I hope this helps your decision. If you like warm, old school tones you'll dig this pedal.
