Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • The MXR does its job really well, and for my tastes is often all I need.
  • Love to have a tap tempo but for good old analog echo sounds, this does a solid job.
  • The analog design of the CC does a great job of "warming" up the signal w/o getting muddy
  • It does a good job of adding the wow and flutter of a capstan tape delay, it's just not the tone I'm looking for.

  • this is an excellent product, good choice, it sounds great and it gives my guitar new choices of sound
  • This is an excellent choice if you're looking for a nice analog delay with a small footprint
  • no matter the genre you play, this would probably be a better choice than digital, though if you can get into a music store to try it, you will like the sound from it

Reviews around tone (4.33 of 5)

  • This thing is simple to set up and has a nice warm tone that I like for clean delays.
  • but if you want some delay to fatten up those lead tones and retain the sound of your amp then look no further
  • and it works great for that and provides a real nice analog tone.
  • Compared to a pristine digital delay, the Carbon Copy's repeated tone is warm, dark, and ethereal
  • If you want subtle, warm tone that oozes with character, look no further.

Reviews around price (4.28 of 5)

  • But if you've been on the fence about a delay, this is a great pedal for a great price - looks super cool too.
  • Great sounding, small footprint and a reasonable price, not much more you could ask for.
  • But if you've been on the fence about a delay, this is a great pedal for a great price - looks super cool too.
  • The DMM is quite a bit more expensive, though -- almost twice the price, and more than twice the size
  • this delay does everything I need it to do and the price was great

Reviews around thing (4.16 of 5)

  • The previous delay problems are gone and this thing is a serious monster!
  • The only "negative" thing I can say about the pedal is that I don't understand (or care for) the power input being on the right side of the pedal very close to the input jack.
  • The most impressive thing about this pedal is still... the tone.
  • This can be a good or bad thing, but I realized I'm after clean and longer repeats, and I also want the repeats in
  • Sure, I know it would ruin the simplicity of the pedal, but when I'm standing up playing guitar the last thing I want to do is lean down and try to adjust the delay speed to match the tempo of the music

Reviews around effect (3.95 of 5)

  • In my ignorance I always thought there couldn't be much difference between delay pedals, or delay effects within multi effect units
  • Awesome effect, everyone who plays real music needs one.
  • I'm getting one for myself because I love the effect he's getting out of his gear.
  • I like the depth it adds to everything from subtle, extreme and whatever else, the mod switch is great for the flutter effect too, nice extra.
  • i play a carvin sh550 through a mesa boogie 5:50 2x12 express tube amp.i've used the pedal so far to get a "slapback" effect (good for surfer rock), and a longer "u2/edge" delay to get sounds like the intro of "where the streets have no name".

Reviews around sound (3.89 of 5)

  • It's dark sounding, yes, but that's what I like to keep the delay sound nice and subtle
  • Warm analog delay very natural sound, not sterile at all very ez to use, no harsh digital BS, I like this way better than the BOSS
  • Works and sounds great, just the sound I was looking for.
  • This is a great analog delay, analog meaning you're not gonna get a lot of crazy sounds and delays that last forever
  • The analog delay gives you an ethereal sound, a Pink Floyd quality to your sound.

Reviews around analog (3.46 of 5)

  • Then I read that a darker analog delay can sort of sound reverby.
  • This is an excellent choice if you're looking for a nice analog delay with a small footprint
  • As another reviewer said, this doesn't have the bells and whistles that some other more expensive analog or similarly-priced digital pedals have (mini-loops, backwards guitar effects
  • If you're looking for a great analog delay, this is an excellent place to start.
  • Not only does this thing sound warm and fuzzy and thick, you've got some really awesome analog sounds you can manipulate when turning the knobs while playing

Reviews around echo (3.44 of 5)

  • This is simliar to my favorite echo (the Morely ECV from the 70's) in that is has that real warm surrounding sound to it.
  • Slapback is good, longer darker echoes are good, especially with modulation.
  • Love to have a tap tempo but for good old analog echo sounds, this does a solid job.
  • If you want a solid delay pedal that provides a warm echo tone....buy this one
  • So far that's probably the highlight of this pedal, is that it sounds very professional, not just a cheap echo-box.

Reviews around stage (1.00 of 5)

  • At a quick glance on a dark stage, you can easily be fooled into thinking this pedal is on because of this light.
  • The LED is a bit bright if you are on a dark stage, but I'd rather live with a bright LED than a delay pedal that doesn't perform the way I need it to perform.
  • On a dark stage if you have to make any adjustment good luck the light will blind you
