Former flavor of the week pedals that are now yesterday's news

[Mr F90]

Some mentions that come to mind:

Sick As overdrive
Diamond Compressor (remember when this was considered the MOST transparent one)
MXR Carbon Copy (used to be like a TGP right of passage to have one circa 2012)
TC Flashback (still popular but not considered amazing like it maybe once was)

Real Klon

 

[Tiny Montgomery]

We still like the Fuzzright, rite?

 

[bayAreaDude]

Has something better than the carbon copy come out at the same price point?

 

[ShortintheSleeve78]

I can't recall a time I've read a thread anywhere about go-to/recommended analog delays and no one has mentioned a Carbon Copy.

I dunno man I just sold my Diamond comp in like 4 hours for 25% more than I paid for it. Seems like Diamond going MIA brought them back to the front of the line again.

I have 2 Carbon Copys, a regular and a mini, on 2 different boards. Zero plans to upgrade. They've been there for years.

Certain pedals are standards, and for a reason. The Tube Screamer, the CE2, the DD3, the Rat, the FF, etc. The CC fits right in there.

- Zvex Fuzz Factory
- Real analog delays in general, especially the DMM
- Pretty much anything made by Catalinbread
- Strymon TimeLine

Carbon Copy never really went out of style, just maybe not seeing so many new threads about it because it has been around for quite a while but every analog delay rec thread always has it mentioned.

Landgraff, BJFE, and Jetter are some of the drive pedals I remember getting way more buzz on TGP several years ago.

When I first got on here the Rockbox Boiling Point was the bee’s knees.

Vibes! Over the last few years, I've seen allegiances switch from . . .

Drybell Vibe Machine

to​

JAM Pedals RetroVibe

to​

Big box, big money vibes (Sir Henry, Shin-Ei, Sabbadius, Shiftee, etc.)

and currently​

R. Weaver Violet/Midnight/Scarlet

Just an observation.

Agreed about Catalinbread. I bought a Belle Epoch based on hype. Then all the other tape delay sims came along and it was yesterday's news.

 

[vintage66]

Carbon Copy still on my board.

TGP’s MIAB phase was especially scintillating. Every 2nd or 3rd thread was about the latest company to jump on the bandwagon.

Dirty Little Secret MKIII, SL Drive, etc…

What is old is often new again, human nature.

 

[Frosted Glass]

Himmelstrutz (I’m probably getting the spelling wrong) was massive for a while and appears to have just dropped off the radar.

 

[I-IV-V]

OCD.

For a joke I was trying to remember the guy who rebranded the OCD clones and had the red dot special.
