MXR Delay pedal
« 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

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
