M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay : Awesome delay

7 years ago

It's plain to see why the Carbon Copy is so popular. It's a fantastic sounding analog delay, very simple to use but also surprisingly versatile.

When played clean, it can product a gorgeous chorus-like delay effect with modulation to provide width and body to the sound all the way through to short slap-back delay sounds or small-room reverb, and the internal trim pots are a great addition and allow the speed and depth of the modulation to be adjusted.

Using it with overdriven sounds requires more conservative settings to Keep the sound tasteful, but the Carbon Copy can easily give you a great delay for both rhythm and lead playing.

Build-wise, there's nothing to complain about. It's solid, well-built and great-looking and compact, and a great addition to any pedalboard.
