I did dink with the pedal some more today. My experience with Maxon analog delays is that they have a very warm and round, unobtrusive sound, with a soft initial attack, as to the repeats. BOSS DM-2 and Echoczar have more of a filtered resonance thing happening (for lack of a better term, call it "trippy") with the repeats. At this point, I'm hearing more of a filter resonance thing in the repeats with the MXR. Sort of a well-behaved DM-2, but ruder than a Maxon.
Surprisingly, considering the 9V operation, the initial repeat with the MXR is very distinct and present for an analog, but not digital-typical sterile and pristine. With a Maxon AD-900, even hyper-wet mix settings are not rhythmically obtrusive, due to the soft attack. What I'll need to do with the MXR is to check it through pushed tube amps as hit by a boosted signal. It may be a matter of backing the MXR's mix down a bit, I'll get back on that.
I tweaked the internal trimmers today. Unless I'm missing something, the travel across the pots is incredibly subtle. Is this right?

This is EXACTLY how I see the CC, and the Maxon (AD999) and WHY the CC CAN'T replace my Maxon AD999. But the CC's still staying anyway... too cool to sell!
Yes, the internal trimmers are subtle, even when maxed.
I use the CC thru a pushed tube amp, so any of my above reviews would apply.
