MXR Carbon Copy Analog DelayAs far as modern (affordable) analog delays are concerned, you’re be hard pressed to find a better pedal than the Carbon Copy Analog Delay from MXR. The 600ms of delay time is ample for most applications, almost twice what a lot of older delays offer, and you can dial in that classic slap back sound with ease. Plus, the optional Modulation button adds more tones and possibilities to your arsenal, and you can even trim the internal pots to make the modulation fatter or slimmer, depending on your preference, to get some sweet tape echo sounds. It’s nice to have that much control over such a tiny pedal.

The fact that it’s all analog makes it even more appealing, as the sounds coming out resemble delays of years past, but this time with True Bypass for a clean guitar signal and less tone suckage. I didn’t expect that the delays would be so rich and warm, and the 3 knobs provide plenty of room for experimentation with different soundscapes and echo paths. It’s built like a tank, super quiet and takes up little room on your pedalboard. All-in-all, a great analog delay for a great price.
