M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay : Probably the best analog delay

7 years ago

So far I had the chance to use only digital delay. I decided to move to the analog, and I saw the Carbon Copy al most in the 70% of pedalboard, so after several YouTube tutorials, I bought it. Great choice! It is a bucket-brigade device, so the sound is a bit darker, but extremely warm and authentic. I use it at the end of the chain, after a RAT and a Blue-Hippo chorus (after the delay I have the looper), and it is always on. It allows me to have a "fatter" sound, both clean and dirty.

It works perfectly also for more "Gilmoursih" things. And if you like Radiohead, you can do the same strange sounds Jonny Greenwood does, playing a bit with the feedback.

Now, for more complex delays, maybe you need something different (I mean, here you have just 3 knobs), but this delay is unique, 100% recommended!!!
