Title: MXR Delay pedal
Post by: Gizmo on December 18, 2008, 04:39:46 PM

Just got a MXR carbon copy delay pedal today and its really good. Its my first stand alone delay pedal.

Its my birthday today and ive been so undecisive about what i wanted my girlfriend said she'd just buy me something random if i didnt make my mind up. so i paniced and just picked the MXR.

Ive been looking at getting a delay pedal for a while but i hadnt tried any. I didnt need one that did everything and dont play live so no need for tap tempo. So I took a chance on this and she ordered if from Guitar Village which is down the road and i picked it up an hour ago.

Couldnt be happier.  Its very warm and is perfect for what i wanted. would definately recommend it!! I know some of you have this but just wanted to say how much i like it.

happy birthday, yea its one of  the better delays about.. analogue and all that jazz.

i dont like the cheap button for modulation on it tho, and the paint job is a bit iffy imo.. but the pedal is a very good one.

Has a great sound indeed, and happy birthday from me too.

Does yours oscillate really easily too? Doesn't really bother me, as I don't use much delay time at all

i tried one of those out a while back and thought it sounded great. and i like the colour!  bit pricey though.  but then, if you have someone to buy it for you, wa-hey! ;)

congrats and happy birthday

Gizmo, I've got one as well...lovely warm sound, brilliant reproduction sound for Pink Floyd & rockabilly

What they said.
Great delay, best I've ever used.

One disadvantage, the range is very nig on the controls, which makes them quite sensitive when you're after a very specific delay time.

I can live with that though.

Would love one of those.  I like a modern digital delay for live so I can tap tempo woth the drummer but they just don't sound the same :D
