    Rather simple configuration.
    Easy to find what you are looking for; just turn the knobs right?
    No, really, many exploitable possibilities! Taking his time, there is always hers!
    I have no manual! Bought Cygnus sue Ebay, in perfect state (by the way).

    Bought on ebay for 125 euros, I do not regret it.
    The format is also the top.

    Analog Delay pedal produced by MXR. Three knobs, a regen to repeat the effect, delay for feedack and mix to assay the effect on the signal. Add to it a little mod called button is used to color advantage of the effect.

    Voia what's characteristics, basic but in the end what more?

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration is simple, easy super simple arch itself. All sounds good to me, for what you want to do.
    No need to book, it seems to me that there is no elsewhere.
    Editing sounds is as simple as the general configuration.

    SOUND QUALITY

    my current config is this one, Marshall JTM45 RI, connected with a US Start (set gilmourish tornado that kills ms), and a Les Paul Standard Faded (set 59 Paf MS Tornado, which kills the same). My old config was the same except that I played on Orange Rocker 30.
    The effect himself now, he is warm, round, slightly fat. We can have fun playing with the delay and regen to make trippy sound effects. In terms of sound, he has his own personality, it is not transparent, and personal this is why I chose it, but it sounds very musical way, and colors the sound for him give a psychedelic side, it goes fast in years or Lucy in the Sky with Diamond was a way of life.
    For me it is top pti delay.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the carbon copy for several years. I changed a lot of times stuff, and this is the only pedal that remains, and will remain until the time that it makes the soul. I ask for nothing else than to a delay far from me in fantastic countered and this pedal does it wonderfully. I had a boss DD3, which was nice, but very cold, I had the opportunity to hear the maxon ad10, which is fine, but the carbon copy to this little trick that makes it i like it that.
    The quality is very good, for better, you need to type in large machines, and price level it stings badly. There was a corner of psychedelia for not too expensive, for this is the top.
    I would definitely do it again this choice if I had to do it again.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It's very very good, especially for someone like me who does not want to bother with a digital delay with buttons everywhere, tap tempo, stereo mode, repeat 5/8, 7/8, 9/13 , coffee, cigarette lighter, GPS.
    According to someone who really wants a sharp and precise effect is not at all what it takes because at least have a carbon copy per song is unmanageable. It will instead turn to the eventide or other gas plant to which I do not even dare to approach for fear of an anxiety attack.
    This is intended to create an atmosphere on a solo, or providing feedback which really throws death.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I for 6 months and I told myself it deserved one more page in his posterity :)
    Buy ladies and gentlemen, this is good.
    Then you can always say that it's € 160 over € 50 button but there is another key problem ...

    Everything has already been said

    It is a MXR: it is both robust veeeeeery but rather "soft" in operation (stompswitch is quite smooth and quiet, turn the knobs in butter etc ...). Personally I am quite a fan, but it is only my opinion

    I bought it to complete my rig "natural" pedal (Boss TU2 MXR Noise Clamp + + + Amt SS11 EHX stereo electric mistress carbon copy + + + cabinet EHX 44 magnum). The carbon copy is connected after the mistress in the loop of the AMT

    I next simulated rig (POD HD + EHX 44 magnum + cabinet) acting B-Rig

    UTILIZATION

    again no big news in my remarks from other reviews, but still two highlights:

    > Why MXR puts its power supply on the side? In a pedalboard a little full, it is quite complicated ... So much so in my case I am forced to disconnect in when the pedal board is at rest
    > Too bad Inrush modulation is not possible to walk also ... Especially that little chorus is really nice (I'll post)
    > Thanks be given to the one who put here a trick with visual cues for setting the time ... It is clear that with the current gear that tends to systematize the tap tempo, find a pedal that adjusts "old" and no scaling takes a little time to start ... No annoying in the studio or repeat, for against, live between a resumption of Pink Floyd and U2 can have time to panic: D

    SOUND QUALITY

    This touches the very large gain on this pedal ...

    So far, my only experience with the time / echo were:
    > An Ibanez DE7 ... Anything and everything has been written about this pedal, especially here. For me it was fair for the price no more, but with true versatility
    > A POD 2.0, then two POD HD so I was a little afraid of the grain within the pod 2.0, both the time and echoes the POD HD is compelling.

    I was looking for something warm and natural, although my use of time is rather wide (from rockabilly to short echo time a little long on the metal solo, to use "pseudo (but really pseudo-huh) gilmourien" .

    Suffice to say that the beast completely meets expectations .... While the max relatively short period prohibits beckien violoning but other than that the pedal can do everything strictly, from the music to the most noisy. The common denominator is the stamp, rather lighter than other analog delays (I have long hesitated with EHX memory boy), but warm at all times.

    The little chorus is pretty nice ... more at the beginning I was using little but it goes I find it uses.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Brief

    A very hot and always musical time ... This is the main argument of the pedal, but it is a strong argument!

    For me the best time in this format ... Guitarists more "alternative" may, however, prefer her memory boy, I found less ... for once indomitable

    To conclude: not about to leave my pedal board!

    I will complete my opinion after testing the pedal in front of a good clean amp ... I will draw upon the DV Mark Galileo my fellow guitarist with a "linear" chaining (guitar => distortion => modulation => time => in the amp), seen as the grain, I suspect this little MXR VERY well to walk like that too.

    The pedal is very well finished, it is very sturdy, the knobs are in good order, no cracks and the switch works perfectly well.

    The pedal is true bypass.

    Power is on the side ...

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration of the delay could not be easier with only three knobs, it is a pedal that goes straight to the point. Not delay the extension that are never used, no stereo or other wacky gadget also useless, it is a analog delay pedal point bar, and it's good, it's all being asked!

    She intuitively rule allows a delay of 600ms max, it therefore uses 100% and there is a delay that sticks two stroke spoon pots.

    The effect of modulation is very friendly and provides color even if it falls short of the quality of a dedicated chorus. The latter is a little more complex to pay. We must put the regen to 0 or very little and mix up the volume to hear the good effect without putting too much, do not put the delay to 0 if the effect is absent in short, we must find the point equilibrium. It addresses the failure of the coup that great pedal (hence my rating of 8 only) is the adjustment of the internal modulation (HELL!) which is effective but requires opening the beast. The two small knobs that turn by hand (there is a small notch) or screwdriver. What a pity really wanted MXR here to save space and cost of two knobs. One can understand but put two small holes on the side of the pedal for example to change the screwdriver potentiometer these two would not have asked the colossal resources and would not change much if it is to make a pedal fatal. At € 150 it's disappointing.

    Obviously a classic in the defects, the power plug on the side ....... someone might finish by telling them that it's just ch *** and that is not why we PSU will buy their overpriced??? Eh? It adds a garland and then it's all so stop you doing to Apple and let us pedal to the top!

    Proponents of all-digital spend their way here because it provides the preset so no, no delay in the extension and no tap tempo. This is analog and must be aware to avoid purchasing missed. As often is sought by the analog sound at the expense of possible settings and use.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Then I think everything has already been said, it is beautiful, it is clear and flawless, it's natural!

    The long delay and present a good solo with distortion, delay at all qualified to David Gilmour on a solo fenderien was all it is completely opposite of the cold digital.

    Do not hesitate to lower the level of the effect if we find that it gives too much color to the sound for this delay is discreet and that all research is somewhat overused on any partitions.

    For my part I conquered.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I recently started using and sound it delivers is incomparable with the delay that I had on my Boss ME30 multi effects.

    What I like most about this delay is that the sound quality and settings very intuitive and very simple to find the delay almost instantly.

    What I like least is the internal adjustment of small modulation effect. At this price access to the side at least would have extended the possibilities sound of the beast.

    The value for money is good, a boss DD3 cost the same price, it would have been great if access to internal settings was easier.

    I would do this choice without hesitation, I did not serve my digital delay, now that I have this pedal I use it all the time and thanks to the intuitive side of the knob settings.
    This pedal is a favorite, you have to try before buying and be aware that you buy a analog pedal and can not just ask him extraordinary feats offered by a digital pedal.

    Modulation brings a little more, but I do not use it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 years continuously, whenever there is need of an echo. I had a of7 but there is no common measure. I do not really see any downside to this pedal can be a share price, but it is a very good investment.
    With the experience I would do this choice without hesitation

    Analog Delay unadorned: input, output, 3 knobs, 1 switch, 1 power supply, and it is running.

    (There is also a small effect of modulation but not directly adjustable.)

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration, a knob for the number of repetitions, one for volume and one for frequency.
    I do not know if there was a manual, but honestly who cares, it is taken in hand alone.

    Editing effects is very simple. The frequency knob is sensitive enough, not always easy to get the exact speed you want (if you want to locate to a specific tempo), but overall it works well.

    Nice little detail: when the knob is the number of repetitions in minutes, the delay is * exactly * one repetition.…

    Nice little detail: when the knob is the number of repetitions in minutes, the delay is * exactly * one repetition. It can be used.

    In making her pack (self-saturation), we can find sounds pretty fun and experimental, which is another fun (well, it's still quite "gadget", it is mumuse with it but unless you really want to the experimental, it remains anecdotal).

    SOUND QUALITY

    There is happiness. A delay that sounds incredibly natural. The sound deteriorates gradually with each repetition. Said like that, you might think that this is a fault, but that's what makes her so hot and pleasant.

    The kind of songs that sound of thunder with this:
    * Another Brick in the Wall (part 1) Pink Floyd
    * Run Like Hell Pink Floyd (same sound faster)
    * Planet Telex Radiohead: With the right settings, you can play the piano part of the guitar intro, and it sounds very good
    * Any song to enhance the sound (by setting a delay very discreet)

    Used a Gibson SG Special Faded and a Vox AC15. If you like any analog is excellent, the sound of the delay goes very well with the rest.
    I also use it with a Little Big Muff and such, it can give your body soli (if used in moderation of course). The delay remains discreet but adds a really nice presence to the fuzz effect.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for more than 3 months, I have not tried many other models because I was immediately captivated by the sound. To try it is to adopt ...

    The only negative point is the lack of adjustment for the front small modulation button. You must open the beast to adjust it with a screw (suddenly I have never changed, I do not know if it's worth it).

    Price / quality ratio very good if we take into account the market. It's not cheap but it is much worse and we do not regret the purchase considering the quality ... And as the beast looks solid, it's all good.

    The manual is brief but it is far from needing a pad to control the beast, one is easily his sound.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Delay absolutely beautiful, very organic and warm, creating a dimension to his room approximating a reverb. The mod adds to my sense of the atmosphere plannante the pedal creates.

    I use it on guitar and I confess I would Sometimes it sounds more sharp and violent, but this is not the purpose of this analog delay-type tape delay so I forgive him greatly.
    On bass, this is the best delay I've heard so far, it reproduces perfectly all that he sends, including my If serious. A cautionary note: If serious about this, when Regeneration is too far it throws me a nasty bass loop and repeats the note to infinity as a sound retainer but delay release. It is very unpleasant but I forgive him too because I never grows beyond the regen half.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for one year.

    I tried before Delays of Behringer, Line 6 Echo Park Boss DD and 7, to use the low is far ahead (heat, lightly soiled certain roundness and particularly adapted to the instrument). To use a guitar, say that here there is a choice based on what we want as delay type, but for warm analog tape type, it's just the best.

    I think it will be understood, what I like here is his warm and organic sound, what I like not, bah it's really the micro detail so it is not worth re -written.

    The pedal is a little Chero is the price for any delay of this quality anyway, but at value for money was still widely seen better!

    I would do this choice if I had brought.

    Cool delay

    MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog DelayPublished on 04/27/12 at 22:05
    The pedal is nice and compact...no bigger than a phase 90. Sound-wise it's not quite an echoplex...but does have warm tonal characteristics that remind me of the old school delay sounds. The modulation button is a nice touch and does sound similar to the tape warble heard on the echoplex. It basically varies the speed of the echo...creating a chorus effect when heard along with your original signal. This is a very subtle chorus sound...but that's how I remember (and like) it.

The pedal will also self oscillate when the repeats are pushed to the max for some crazy sounds...just take care not to blow up your speakers. I did notice some very minor noise on the longer echos when playing clean bright tones, however, I've read that this is not an uncommon thing with analog pedals.



    UTILIZATION

    It's very easy to set up and get a good delay at any point.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I had the privilege of using an original Echoplex delay box that was lent to me years ago. After returning the Echoplex, I've relied on an inexpensive digital delay pedal that recently began to bomb out on me. After reading a lot of info and positive reviews on the MXR Carbon Copy Delay pedal, I decided to take the plunge and purchase it. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.

    OVERALL OPINION

    My only gripe with pedals like these are the internal controls. Personally, I think the whole trimpot concept is barbaric anymore. It just doesn't make sense to make the user disassemble an entire pedal to access additional controls. I doubt it would take much for Dunlop to drill an additional 2 holes into the housing to accommodate these features. Also, take care when disassembling these things. The jack threads are made of plastic...which can cross thread very easy if the metal nut fastener is tightened too much or incorrectly.

    Overall a really nice pedal. I was initially concerned that the 600ms delay wouldn't be long enough...but as it turns out...it's actually a little more than I need. Sounds cool, looks cool, and not too pricey. I think most musicians will find this a valuable addition to their setup.

    Good but not neutral delay

    MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog DelayPublished on 03/27/12 at 00:45
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    4 settings that are not there for show:
    -Delay: allows time before resuming her.
    -Regen: gives the number of echo
    -Mix: the effect of presence
    -Mod is a period without much color, or something very vintage chorus liquid limit.

    UTILIZATION

    The settings are not headlock but the pedal can easily be impaired.
    The regen pushed a little hard and you get the echo is a bottomless pit. After 15 seconds it becomes a brothel without a name ....

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effect is clean and pleasing to the ear that can not abuse the regen. Both tones offered by the "mod" is a real plus but we regret still a crystalline coloring matter of fact the mod chooses .... damage

    I love this time both the rhythmic solos that grace the button mod that brings a real plus and forget some flaws!

    Analog delay pedal, 9V supply "standard".
    An "Input", one "Output".
    knobs: - "Delay", sets the delay time
    - "Mix" sets the level of the effect compared to the untreated
    - "Regen" sets the number of repetitions.
    Note the presence of a switch "mod" that active modulation of repetition. She remains very discreet on mine, it seems that the internal trimpot can refine its settings ... I did not personally affected, all suited me very well in the state!

    As usual with Mxr it seems solid and well assembled. Some miss a tap tempo, or a stereo output ... still need to know why is it that you buy this delay and not a more complete! ;)

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration thus benefits from reduced number of settings: a very simple setup, this pedal sounds sent immediately rewarding. No need to manually make the most of, tampering with knobs, one after the other is the best way to find settings that suit us best!

    SOUND QUALITY

    This delay is very typical analog vintage, we are thus dealing with regard to repetition has a very dirty grain, almost deaf at times, the sound quality repetitions to diminishing progressively.

    This delay will not please everyone, it does not take advantage of the latest developments in the materials handy as different modes or tap tempo: live, there is a well-defined position. We bought it because we love his character.

    I use it personally plugged into my Fender Blues Junior. The amp produces a crunch and having no loops, delays some support badly saturation. No one, as long as we fine tune! I just activated for spatialized sound and it works flawlessly, although I would appreciate can be a bit more brilliance in sound reproduction ...

    Please note, place the knob in and turn up to rehearsals one time gives rise to sound all the more crazy than the other ... A try, but be careful with your ears, and keep one hand on the knob to mix!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it now for 3 weeks. I needed a simple and warm delay need not fear the lack of an effects loop on an amp, and I found the Maxon, although excellent, is out of range (definitely too expensive) The value for money is quite honest, the delays are generally slightly more expensive than other distortions or modulations.

    I think I would do this either with the experience!

    UTILIZATION

    I have not looked at the manual.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I almost never uses reverb. I was not really knowledgeable in this type of effect. I love it! I am forced to connect the input device, I do not loop on my amp! I am a very very slight adjustment, just to give a little bit of reverb and effect relationship between the delay. I pay quite short. It is superb. I always use to crunch, overdrive or saturation. I do not use clear sound. But I experimented a bit by pushing the setting, and it's very beautiful. The chorus, I do not use. Very low (I did not set from within), it was not making the quality of the pedal.

    I do not regret my choice at all! Used with blues Jr, Marshall 2061X and Class 5 and Lead 12. In addition, she is very pretty and take very little space on the pedalboard!

    It's an analog delay from 20ms 600ms
    3 knobs: Mix, Regen Delay
    with a small button to the modulation

    It's simple, has enough for me

    (Note 2 knobs internal Sets the depth and the speed of modulation)
    23mA for the APRS doc builder

    UTILIZATION

    We shoot and ringing, not need to be a nerd to understand the pedals:
    The regen can set the number of rptitions
    The mix will be determined the volume of the delay (proportions in the wet / dry signal)
    and can choose to delay 600ms 20ms

    Button mod is pretty easy accder he snaps at the bottom
    The manual does not serve much, if not the CHARACTERISTICS. Besides, I do not think it is true bypass.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I find her hot but dark enough, the treble seemed attnus.
    APRS I'm not really expert in delay since I had the delay numrique Intgr my Boss ME-5 (which ignores trs good by the way).

    I found the dpart modulation too subtle so I put the knob back tourn depth (the indoor of the pedals), I like more.
    The Carbon Copy is doing well trs, it can range from a simple slap dlicieux with its spatial modulation. And of course it's funny the runaway pedals when you put the short delay and regen background, has often scare people lol

    From a personal opinion, I do not think it colors the sound and not breathing noted. Activation of the pedals is silent, the disabling There's a little something but it's not mchant

    OVERALL OPINION

    I just got the pedals so I have not really exploit the sound.
    What I like is the face that she is a little kid but must believe that appearances are, it is green Glitter varnish, blue leds (a change), it is simple, it is small (a is also important), it is supplied with 9V.
    There's not much blame him, I knew where I stood, no surprises. I might be like to have the effect which does not go away directly if one disables the pedals but I do not drang than a.

    J'hsitais take the Nova Delay for many possibilities, but it seemed too complicated to use, had a power supply SPECIFICATIONS.

    I bought in the United States, it came back 120, including shipping. Being given that I had no other delay Entire hand, I do not know the report assess quality price compared deluxe memory man, nova delay, DL4. To me, I found what I wanted.

    I think what I want most is a PDAL I rglerais instinctively, not with posters milliseconds. L I fell in love lol
