MXR CARBON COPY DELUXE ANALOG DELAY

- Paul Riario

SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION nearly 10 years ago, the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay is, by far, the best-selling delay pedal in the marketplace. With an analog bucket brigade design, 600ms of darkly lush and organic delay with textured modulation on tap and an attractive price point, there’s no disputing this small green wonder’s undeniable popularity.

But it goes without saying guitarists always want more, whether it’s from a delay pedal or a narcissistic need for adulation. And while MXR can’t help with the latter, they know addiction is real, and the cure is to mainline that itchy echo fix by introducing the Carbon Copy Deluxe Analog Delay, a splendid update of the Carbon Copy that offers even more delay time, tap tempo functionality and loads of versatile features. And in case you’re still wondering, the Carbon Copy Deluxe retains all the analog warmth and musical character of the original pedal.
