Analog delay using the bucket-brigade method chaining offset by a segmented produces a very musical delay. It is not an emulation of a tape delay a.
A green and black paint sparkle decorates the classic MXR frame with three phosphorescent potentiometer. I'm not a fan of the blinding blue LEDs. Current consumption 26 mA 9v.

UTILIZATION

Configure a delay request a time for reflection and listening. As to find the optimum setting must spend time as a pedal for three knobs to the matron offers a wealth of opportunity to 600ms.
Regen: the repetition rates
Delay: the size of the delay
Mix: the balance between neutral signal and signal affected by the effect
Mod: a small button that activates a mini vibrato
Settings require time and manual was of no help. But the position in your chaining effects reveals himself crucial. For use in clean, bass, in effect a guitar amp in an amp that crunch, wedged between a drive and a distortion or when the loop inside a loop in effect DEDICATED the delays, reverbs and loopers. The M169 is available with intelligence, because improper placement greatly affects its possibilities.

SOUND QUALITY

There are more colorful and warm analog delays but they are more blurred. There is much more precise but cold digital delays.
The Carbon Copy is accurate without being cold, it allows staining inside a solo, for example, while maintaining control. Ever drowned, your Son is enhanced and magnified with the "american touch" typical MXR home.
But here the point of excess, it remains in control.
Petiti the Mod button use to me because I've never found there to improvement.

OVERALL OPINION

The M169 is an analog delay wise. This is the reasonable choice between warmth and precision. It will integrate in a thoughtful and accomplished effects configuration. Chaining effects is a complex and empirical science, MXR pedals often cause mini earthquakes inside the pedalboard.
