Analog delay

I've been kicking myself since I sold my Boss DM-2 about 10 years ago. I'll definitely check out this Carbon Copy. I've been waiting for something like this to come out. Thanks for the reviews.

GJ, I don't know. Have you tried emailing Dunlop?

Thanks, I was able to follow your hint and search for posts by Mr. Huge on the gear page forum. I notice however that he did not take the bait and respond to a post that raised the question of whether this particular product was a result of his collaboration with MXR/Dunlop. In fact, there are three "Way Huge" branded products being re-introduced by Dunlop.

The utube clip demonstrating the Carbon Copy was enough for me to order one from Same Day Music. Of course now that it's in the mail, I got a call from the Brooklyn Guitar Center and they have them on the shelf this week!

Vizcaster, it's true, the evidence is circumstantial. He may not have designed the pedal, although he certainly seems to know a lot about it.
I think you'll enjoy your CC, and I dig the Marty DeBergi quote in your sig.

Mine arrived today and I had some fun playing around with it. I can't say that I'm wowed by it, but it's doing the trick so far. I like the modulation control when the regen & delay knobs are turned down, and the mix knob is turned up. Nice chorus sound. I'm also enjoying the results with the delay and regen knobs at 12:00 and the mix at 11:00.

Has anyone else noticed some major feedback (not squealing feedback, not sure how to describe it) with the delay turned all the way down, mix at noon-ish, and the regen turned to 7-8 o'clock? Is that normal for an analog delay? It's my first one, so I have no idea.

Mine was doing that too, but then stopped, which makes no sense at all. But then my Regen pot acts weird anyway: it goes from a single repeat to like 7. No in-bwteen. Mr. Huge emailed me & said I might have a bad regen pot...(not because of the oscillation, because of the repeats going from 1 to 7)... looking into sending it back for replacement.

I'm going to examine the regen knob performance more closely tonight to see if I encounter the same lack of sensitivity you're having. The feedback doesn't occur all the time in the setting I described above, which is weird.

Finally got to play thru mine in a full band setting last night, and it was as good as I thought. Totally quiet with great range of sounds. Good for both lead and rhythm Definitely better than my old DM-2. Had no trouble dialing in the exact sounds I wanted, and the Regen control worked perfectly, although I must admit I was more concerned with my playing and overall tone than counting repeats :-). My bandmates all commented on the noticeable enhancement of my tone.

Mr. Huge contacted me, after reading one of my posts, and thinks I have a bad regen pot in my unit. they are replacing it free of charge. How cool is that?

Very cool, glad they're taking care of the problem.
Got mine hooked up with an old Ibanez CSL chorus now, this'll get me much closer to the sound I want when we do Chain Gang.

Time to sell the Maxon and pick up the MXR CC....
My CC arrived today.

Going to spend time with it tonight and if all goes well, the AD999 is going up for sale.

the CC is NOT as warm or distorted as the AD999. The CC is a great delay, but if you really like the darkness & distorted maxon repeats, the CC won't win that race. I was also hoping to sell my AD999 for the CC, but they are different enough to keep both, IMHO.

I've been digging mine now that I've had it for a few days. It's my first analog delay, so I can't compare it to the Maxon, Ibanez, etc, but I like it better than the Rocktron Short Timer that the CC replaced. Warmer, more organic sounding, doesn't color the original tone of the guitar. Nice!

Got mine today. Sweet. Longer delay times, more repeats than I have on the "analog" delay function in the DSP section of my amp, and it sounds so much better that I find myself setting the mix a little higher than I used to. Goosed the trim pots on the modulation function a little bit to just where you notice the "me-ow" wow and flutter simulation. Gotta get used to the sparkle green, but it's pretty cool. Very, very versatile. Can't wait to use it more.

I went to a local shop with full intention of walking out with a Carbon Copy. After trying it out for nearly 30 minutes, I left it there. I was expecting to be wowed and it just didn't happen. My old Boss DD5 sounds better. When/if the AquaPuss is reissued, then that may be a different story.
