MXR Carbon Copy Reproduces Your Tone With Carbon Paper
The all analog MXR Carbon Copy delay pedal is a great way to keep your tone warm this winter. Without an overwhelming number of knobs or any menu-based or digital malarkey, the Carbon Copy provides an abundant tonal range. A mod button can be selected to add spaciousness to your tracks, and feel free to get creative with the knobs to smack your pitch up and paint the sound effects to the Super Nintendo RPG in your brain.

OWEN O'MALLEY: Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. I'm Owen O'Malley, and this beautiful wee little pedal right here is the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. The Carbon Copy Analog is a Bucket Brigade based circuit. It is all analog, and so we get a very warm, natural, organic sounding delay. It's not a super-complicated pedal but does have a pretty nice range. Let's turn off the mod effects right now; we'll get back to that later.
The first button here, Regen, controls what basically is sometimes referred to as feedback. It's also sort of decay. It's kind of both here. We're going to keep our mix pretty high and our delay time relatively wide. Those are your three main controls right there. Let's just listen to that tone right now.

Now your Regen on one side controls the decay of each successive repeat, so if we turn Regen down...,
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, REGEN AT LOWEST SETTING]
...we get fewer repeats. If we turn it all the way up...,
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, REGEN AT HIGHEST SETTING]
...we start to get that feedback sound. So right about halfway...
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, REGEN AT AROUND 12 O'CLOCK SETTING]
...or maybe a little bit more...
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, REGEN AT AROUND 2 O'CLOCK SETTING]
...is where we start controlling our feedback amount. The mix right here is just your volume of your repeats as compared to your dry tone.

If you notice if we have it all the way up, it's actually the first repeat will actually be louder than your first guitar tone.

Now with the delay button down...,
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, DELAY AT AROUND 9 O'CLOCK]
...very different sounding effects. We can also get some sort of pretty cool slap-back tones. Let's turn the Regen down a little bit.

Pretty fun. Now this
Mod
button up here is interesting. It basically adds a sort of phasing modulation effect to the effect but not to the dry tone. You'll hear what I mean. Let me turn Regen up, get a nice long delay again.[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED]
You can see I'm doing a classic sort of pitch shifting.
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED, TRYING OUT PITCH SHIFTING/MOD EFFECTS]
Did you hear that sort of chorusing sound? That's the mod effect.
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED FOR MOD EFFECT]
It sort of adds a little just sort of more spaceousness to the effect. It's a little more psychedelic with mod on.
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED FOR MOD EFFECT]
There's two other trim pots basically accessible if you take off the back panel here to change the tone. And also, if you'll notice when it's -- each of these successive repeats comes back.
[OWEN O'MALLEY PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE JIM DUNLOP MXR CARBON COPY ANALOG DELAY ENGAGED]
They sort of start getting a little bit -- the top end rolls off on each successive repeat. You can adjust that with a gain trim in the middle there and also adjust the mod effect with another little trim. Both of those are inside this pedal but that's basically it. That's the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. You've been watching Gearwire.Com and I am Owen O'Malley. See you around.
