MXR Carbon Copy Delay

I hear a lot of buzz about the new MXR Carbon Copy Delay pedal. It is a basic analog delay pedal which apparently sounds very good.

It is true bypass, and it doesn't take up much real estate on your pedal board. Reports say this pedal is also very quiet.

It has 600ms of delay time, with optional modulation. This really cool. The knobs are

Delay time
Mix (dry/wet blend)
Regen (delay repeats)

The size of the pedal is like the well known Phase 90. It uses 9-volt operation and the LED shines purdy blue.

This is a pedal to check out, if you are looking for an analog, true bybass delay pedal without much noise.

The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay 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, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp bathroom slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hardwire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.
