MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal (M169)

Product Information

This review will be about the MXR Carbon Copy and will represent my experience and subjective opinion about this wonderful delay pedal. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The Carbon Copy has a very smooth and musical characteristic that fills in space without cutting through the rest of the mix. Housed in the classic “Phase-90-size” casing, if you’ve had any experience with MXR pedals you’ll know that these things are as tough as they come. 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 Deluxe also has a subdivision control which means you can split the repeats into dotted 8th, 8th, 16th notes or even triplets. All done by a completely analog audio path for authentic rich, warm analog delay - made possible only by old-school analog bucket brigade technology. And, the best thing is that all it takes is a simple twist of a knob to unlock all of these amazing features. Overall this unit really fattens up the steel tone and does for standard guitar what an echoplex would in my application as far as straight slapback echo. Inside the pedal, you'll find two Width and Rate trimpots so that you can dial in the modulation to your taste.Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions.

To achieve its clear, warm tone, the Carbon copy relies on a traditional bucket brigade chip with up to 600 milliseconds of delay time. Use the Delay and Regen controls to dial in the time between repeats—up to 600ms—and how many repeats you want, and then use the Mix control to set the wet to dry signal ratio. In addition to its normal parameters, the MXR Carbon Copy has a small control for modulation which adds more color to the delay trail, bringing the sound even closer to the warble of a vintage tape machine.Guitar Guitar Limited trading as guitarguitar acts as a credit broker not a lender and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 742103.
