MXR Carbon Copy Delay Arrived!

[themusicboxstudios]

So I got my 2 MXR Carbon Copy delays from Musictoyz today. They sound wonderful. For those of you who want a simple analog delay in a small package, this would my pick. Even over the Malekko 600 (though i've only tried the dark). The unit is among the quietest of analog delays i've heard. Holds up to dirt extremely well.

That said, I do have some complaints/concerns. The modulation is EXTREMELY subtle ... almost to the point where I thought mine was broken. Also the modulation does not get deeper when you increase the delay time like most modulated delays work. Anything past 300 ms and I can't hear the modulation at all. BUT! it is very musical sounding and subtle, but I was dissapointed.

If the modulation was better on this, it would replace my DMM no question, which is saying A LOT ... because I think my vintage DMM is the best sounding analog delay on the planet.

The 2 units do sound a bit different ... and the modulation is actually LESS deep on one of the 2.

But overall ... the pedal sounds absolutely wonderful.

Disaster Transport arrives tomorrow!

You know there are rate and depth trim pots inside you can adjust?

Is the "true hardwire bypass" really true bypass or just the same as the other MXR tone suckers?

[whoismarykelly]

Are the enclosures green sparkle like the one at namm or a plainer green color?

not sure ... really don't care if I don't notice right away ... and i'm pretty familiar with my tone.

Since it has modulation, try turning up the amp really loud (don´t play though), some non true-bypass effects will let some trace of the LFO (modulation oscilation) leak while in bypass. The other way to know is to simply look at the switch wiring... well, I am curious about it...

sparkle green w/ glow in the dark pointers on the knobs .

[whoismarykelly]

oooooooooh. Photos plz!

[themusicboxstudios]

i will on friday when school slows down.

this week is gnarly.

btw ... i think i'm returning these to musictoyz (at least one). i guess i'll wait until someone starts modding these for more intense modulation.

of course ... i'll sell them to people here, but you've gotta cover shipping/paypal fees, so that's up to you.

i'm gonna keep them through the weekend though, so i get more time with them.

[Droptop]

Deal...I'll buy one from you if you decide to unload them when the weekend is over. Let me know.
