The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay Pedal 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, the M169 pedal has two internal trim pots that offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy effect pedal will take you from crisp "bathroom" slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hard-wire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.

Simple Analog Delay

This is exactly what I was looking for in a delay. It adds a little something for solos and sounds great on any setting. Very easy to use, no frills. I have had it for well over a year now. It hasn't left my pedalboard since I purchased it.

This pedal is amazing. I've owned mine for about a year, and it STILL impresses me everytime I couple it up with a new effect. As far as distortion/overdrive goes, you just have to know what you are doing with your current rig, because when I play mine through the MXR Wylde Overdrive on a dirty channel with a splash of amp reverb, it is a perfect clone to the Page Hamilton sound from Helmet's "Betty" record. Great experimental tool, great for any style of music. Analog.

Better than most

This delay is warm and satisfying. My main use for it is as a slap back which it excels at. I also use it to wash out the sound a la Zep One - Jimmy Page with a bow through an echoplex king of thing. If you want an analog delay rather than a digital delay (which I do) then you might as well stop looking. Here it is.

i just played on mine today for the first time and i was blown away at the amazing tone it gave me! you cannot beat this delay pedal. it took away the hum i had, even with my ibanez TS9 through a fender deville amp, it was crisp and clean. you cannot go wrong with MXR. i think i prefer them over BOSS

the best pedal on the market

First off, the carbon copy is a highly controlable all analog delay with a true bypass, what more could you ask for. The sound of this pedal is better than any delay I have ever heard, it can do any kind of delay imaginable from super short to very long. The mod switch is a nice feature that adds an incredible chorus sound that is subtle yet present enough to add a nice sparkle to the tone. the sound is completely transparent and it wont cut your signal or color your tone even when bypassed. The pedal is very solidly built and works flawlessly with fender like cleans or extreme high gain. BUY THIS PEDAL! you wont regret it!
