So this in response to my “Best delay pedal available today?” In that post, I tweeted a question what people thought was the best delay out there today. I got some variety, but the advantage goes to the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. I’ve been personally eye-balling this pedal for a while. I own the Line 6 DL 4 currently, but thinking about picking up something else for some variety.

The MXR Carbon Copy is a analog delay where you can adjust the regeneration, mix, delay and also has a modulation switch. The modulation switch allows your to turn modulation on or off. The modulation is preset, but you can adjust the width and rate of modulation with two internal trim pots.

Here is the official description:

The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay Pedal features a completely analog audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay-made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology. This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)-all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, the M169 pedal has two internal trim pots that offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy effect pedal will take you from crisp “bathroom” slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hard-wire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.

MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

• Analog audio path
• Extremely compact
• 600ms delay time
• Controls: Mod switch, Delay time, Mix, Regen
• True hard-wire bypass
• 9-volt operation
• Blue LEDs

I found another gearmandude video with this pedal. He’s not a ‘delay-guy’, so it’s slightly limited, but I thought the demo was better than all the other ones I saw. I was hoping for some heavy psychedelia wah + carbon copy delay, but the Johnny Cash slap-back is cool just the same.

You can pickup the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay pedal at Musician’s Friend for $149.99.

Okay, I’m going to be posting about BBE pedals for a bit, the deals are just too damn good! Yet, I found another awesome BBE pedal at Amazon. The last couple of days I’ve posted reviews of the Memory Boy and the Memory Toy by Electro-Harmonix, so I thought I’d throw another analog delay pedal in the mix.

Here we have the BBE Two Timer Dual Mode Analog Delay Pedal. This pedal was inspired by the discontinued Boss DM-2 Delay. Here is the official description of the pedal:

The TWO TIMER™ was inspired by the long discontinued Boss DM-2 Delay. The DM-2 was known for its warm, haunting reverb and tape-like echoes. The TWO TIMER offers two Independent delay times foot switchable via the TIME 1/TIME 2 mode switch. This makes it possible to have one delay setup for a short slapback rhythm sound while another is set to a longer delay for solos. The TWO TIMER is essentially two great analog delays in one compact pedal. The TWO TIMER circuit features a BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) for the warmth and character only analog can deliver, 1% Metal Film resistors for pristine audio quality plus True Hard-Wire Bypass for a clean signal path when the effect is bypassed. Other features include hardwire bypass, LED operation indicator, non-slip rubber bottom, easy-access 9v battery compartment and included external power supply.

Here is a YouTube video showing some of what this guy can do.

This pedal lists at $209.00, you can pick this up at Musician’s Friend for $149.99 + shipping, but you can get a screaming deal at Amazon. It’s currently running at $88.58 and comes with FREE Super Saver Shippping! That’s $120 off of list people. Awesome deal.

Yesterday, I posted info about the EHX Memory Toy analog delay. I thought it was only appropriate to post the new Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy Analog Echo Chorus Vibrato Pedal as well. This pedal was newly introduced to the Electro-Harmonix pedal line to make the features and quality of the legendary Memory Man more affordable allowing it to be more accessible to more musicians.

Here are the features of this pedal:

• All analog delay with Feedback
• Up to 550 ms delay time
• Selectable Chorus or Vibrato modulations rates
• Choose between triangle or square modulation waveforms
• Expression pedal control of delay time or modulation rate (expression pedal extends the range of modulation rate)
• True Bypass
• 96DC-200BI power supply included

Oddly, I was not able to find this at Musician’s Friend. Not sure if they’re currently out of stock, but I did find it available at Amazon. The pedal’s list price is $130.90, but can be purchased at Amazon for $98.18 (25% off) and includes FREE super saver shipping.

I found another great video by ToneFactor showing what the EHX Memory Boy is all about:

I’m a fan of the EHX Memory Man, I think they sound absolutely great. I’m really excited about the Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy Analog Echo and Chorus guitar effects pedal. It’s pretty new, and I don’t know anyone that personally owns one.. yet, but this pedal is going to be hard to beat for the price ($79.50 at Musician’s Friend).

Here is the official product description:

The Memory Toy presents a pure analog delay for musicians who covet thick sound from a thin wallet. EH melds heritage with select components to present the musician with up to 550ms of delay. Not a toy but a professional tool that bathes your axe with organic depth and dimension. The selectable chorus is a lush bonus. No one does analog like EH!

I found a sweet video demonstrating what the Memory Toy can do. The video is by ToneFactor.

If you personally own this pedal, please comment and let us know your thoughts. I’ll be mentioning the Memory Boy soon as well.
