Welcome back to ToneReport.com. Today, we're upgrading to the Carbon Copy Deluxe, from MXR. This advanced version of MXR's classic analog delay keeps the warm, murky core intact while adding every feature that you wish the original had. The Carbon Copy Deluxe features tap tempo with a variety of subdivisions, featuring eights, dotted eighths, triplets and sixteenths. The delay time has been bumped up to 1.2 seconds to accommodate the tap tempo with no loss of fidelity on longer delay times. You can switch to a more articulate delay tone with the push of a button, changing the core from the Carbon Copy to the Carbon Copy Bright. The modulation controls of the original are now on the face of the Deluxe model, so you can adjust the chorus settings in real time. The hidden functionality of the Carbon Copy Deluxe is where it earns its name, giving you a ton of flexibility from its Expression jack. By connecting an expression pedal or MXR's Tap Switch, you can program the Carbon Copy Deluxe to switch between two presets, as well as using the Tap Switch to externally control the any of the switches on the face. You can even use the Carbon Copy Deluxe as a master metronome and use it to drive another pedal with a tap tempo jack. Under the hood, you'll find a kill-dry switch and a line level switch, which lets you use the pedal with any line-level instrument. And just like all MXR pedals, the Carbon Copy Deluxe is manufactured right here in the states.
What I dig most about the intro is that Andy nails a George Harrison slide tone over a Lennon song. Nice job!
Wow. Thank you for that well crafted intro. Every segment was sweet. Always a great pleasure and inspirational experience watching you play.
I own this pedal and this video perfectly captures it's "murky" wonderfulness. Great job.
Best demo presenter on yt. So much talent and soul .
Love that you often use British bands songs to demo effects. Always the best pedal demos and introductions. I could watch your vids on pedals I have no interest in or intention to use. Great as always. Cheers Andy. Thank you.
I would buy Andy's album - full price too.
That is the blackest backdrop that ever blacked. Great demo as usual! I love my regular carbon copy!
That colour is called "None-more black" ... ...
Hi Andy, fantastic choice of opening tune and love MXR carbon copy
what song is this?
thanks, i like this better than the original version after looking it up. that slide part makes it so much cooler
Some great playing there Andy!
I absolutely need one of these. Been waiting a long time for a full featured Carbon Copy
Aaron Goldberg From what others have said about it, the mix is totally off. And MXR’s pedals leave a lot to be desired. It seems like all of their pedals have muddy tone no matter how you dial everything. The EHX Canyon is so much better. And it has an octave delay, shimmer, reverse, and a 30 Second Loop option in combination with tape delay and few others.
Yeah man, Canyon is great but does it have Tap?
It doesn't come WITH one, but you can buy one. Which is what I did. (It only cost like $15) I think you can also hold down the button and then it goes into the option to tap a tempo. I just prefer to have a separate tap on the side. And it's so much easier to use. I don't think a lot of these companies are keeping that in mind for those of us who want to use these in the live performance setting.
Nice review. thanks for posting this. Exactly what I wanted to hear without a bunch of extra overdrive and fuzz pedals hooked up.
Oh PGS how we miss you and your downtown PDX store!!
and the free pedals that mostly went to foreign countries
The bright mode seems to have great clarity.
Even the quietest repeats fade musically and are appreciable even with the dry signal over it.
Excellent cover
Once again Andy kills it.
Nice pedal, but that intro was so great !!
I bought one of these, will it was in the mail I bought a Strymon Deco...
The deco does the slapback and tape echo better but this still offers tons of delay options. When the deco with saturation and chorus, using this pedal for delay is an excellent pairing, the tap function is especially useful to me.
That intro was sick
Woman by John Lennon
I’ve always wanted to play guitar, but the beginning seems so slow and frustrating...
Hahaha. I know, right?! ;D F'ing ads ... Mind you, this video is one big ad ... :P
Bahahahahahahaha
The VERY beginning is hard, but it doesn't last as long as you'd think. You build up your finger calluses, get used to switching between a few basic chords, and suddenly you can play half of your favorite rock songs. It's surprising how many of those are just three or four chords. This only takes a couple months if you have any kind of aptitude. The period after that is some of the most fun you'll ever have playing guitar, because your skills improve lightning fast and every other week you feel like a new guitar player. Eventually though, you'll hit a plateau and you'll really have to push to see any improvement at all. That's when you'll know if you love it or not.
Stop it right now. lol
Lol
ANDY WE NEED FULL VERSION OF WOMAN
For everyone complaining about the mix knob - the carbon copy Deluxe and Mini have a taper that was designed to work in front of a gained up amp. Yes, this does make it hard to hit the sweet spot in a loop, but offers more flexibility if you don’t use one. Like it or not, it’s a design decision, not a flaw.
I may have missed you say so but does this have a stereo out for the repeats?
Can the expression pedal be used for the Mix parameter to swell the effect on and off?
That sliding guitar sounded absolutely awesome - any tips/tricks how to get that sound in regards of pedals, apart from his insane playing.
at around 0:40 that's game over just brilliant
John Lennon's Woman gorgeous, and short, instrumental version.
An Absolutely stunning version!
My favorite "John solo" song AMAZINGLY interpreted here...
absolutely love your reviews and recently purchased this pedal. does the ''tap beat" LED stay on all the time, I've noticed that it contiues to blink even when I don't have the pedal effects engaged. thank you.
very beautiful and hauting intro
Great demo. What guitar is that at the start of the video?
Francisco Bido Martinique-Supro, it’s an amazing instrument
Yes. Thanks!
To the folks not liking this pedal, I got the original on my board and I love it! As a guitarist, I do always want to advance my skills and tech, so I'm curious to know - I'm really intrigued by the pedal (since I'm a fan of the original) but I'm hearing some folks in the comments saying that it sucks. If you were to recommend a delay pedal with a similar modulation function like the Carbon Copy, what would you recommend?
Seymour Duncan Vapour Trail. Had one for a few years and love it. Mod dials on outside plus you can input other pedal like phaser etc into pedal or even another delay. Much smaller than this one although one seems nice too. Agree they could have made the display non-flashing.
John would have liked that
Too bad I'm already on the echoplex train. Got my old carbon copy for the warm memories, but I ain't gots no more room on my board for this giant.
QueeferSutherland honestly go see one in person - I was really surprised they are not that big at all!!!
Uli Roth swears by these for live performances.
Andy, Scot, Gavin... any idea how this does on bass guitar? Is the normal setting too dark for bass? I'd love to know. Thanks Gents!
I have used my original on bass, and I like the results when playing far up on the neck. I do think most people will prefer a clean digital delay, or even a delay with a high pass filter on bass though. A dark one like this will impose more limitations on your playing if you want to avoid sounding muddy!
Sage wisdom! thank you
The mod built in sold it for me. Can you control the vibrato speed as well?
Yes, the speed and width knobs
That was a fantastic version of "Woman"!
What's the song at 5:13?
Great review but why, with all the fancy expression options available, did they not include basic expression control over regeneration??
Yes but I looked at the manual and it doesn't include regen.
@ OME, yeah they did not connect the regeneration to the expression... bummer
I was all about it until you can’t change the mix or regen with the expression or even the 2 presets. These are the only 2 things I adjust. I don’t use the mod stuff.
It's there. All you have to do is configure 2 settings, one with the regen at your baseline, the other with regen at maximum. Save them and then morph between them with the expression controller. Easy.
beautiful intro Andy. Tell me you've used that for your lady..
I want but does it do trails ?
How do you get at the internal dipswitches in the Carbon Copy Deluxe? The bottom backplate does not have regular screws.
Hey Jay, you can access it through the battery compartment!
@@ProGuitarShopDemos thank you so much!!
I want to know what the background music in the clip is and by whom?
That was one of the songs that fellow employee Jamie Wolfert made. Most of those background tunes can be found on his SoundCloud, I believe. He's also doing demos on the Harsh Tones Inc channel. Thanks!
Andy
My mixed emotions with my thoughtlessness...
Kinda hard to hear what the echo is doing if you're letting all your notes ring out over it. :/
Great demo. No #stereo, it's 2022 ??
ahem...2017...still even today, you'll find that most analog delays are mono. It would require twice as many BBD chips and be quite expensive. Thanks for watching!
Andy
Woman John Lennon
John C. Major No. It’s “Woman” in the intro.
Took MXR long enough to make this like shit everyone loves the carbon copy sound we just needed that tap tempo and a bit extra!
Totally would have bought this years ago but alas I have a way better delay pedal now
Which did you go with?
Probably an echoplex lol
the flashing note display seems like it would be super distracting. i wish it was steady.
The bright, tap div, mod, tap tempo and led screen don’t work on mine. What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps the advanced configuration has been changed. Grab the manual and look under advanced where it talks about using a footswitch to toggle the bright mode. There is also a LED brightness adjustment in that menu. Otherwise, it's always best to contact Dunlop, they will help you!
Andy
Similar to the Strymon DIG??
Ummm. They’re both delays. The Dig is very digital. The Carbon Copy is very analog. I’d say they are different.
The flashing crotchet is pretty horrendous looking
That's why, in most places, it's against the law to flash your crotchet a someone ...
Does anyone know if this pedal can create a good Gilmore delay sound?
Gabriel Cone gilmourish.com answers EVERY GILMOUR SOUND question you might have.
Close enough. Especially with the bright setting and increased control over mod. But really, there Is a world of difference between the tape warble of Pompeii Gilmour and the Wall's delays so any really good versatile delay would be suitable.
This and s DD7 should cover most of the important tones
I've always felt the carbon copy kind of fell short compared to other popular analog delays like the Memory Man and DM-2, and this just seems too little too late. EHX did it years ago. Also the delay isn't too audible it seems compared to where the mix knob is, you have it nearly cranked in some parts and it's still not that loud in the mix, what's up with that? Can you even hear it if the mix is below 12 o'clock?
boafewa hserf It's always been that way since I owned it. You could crank it and it would be barely unison it felt like. Lol
I have the pedal, and I think they really dropped the ball on this one in regards to the mix. You're not wrong, good catch. Between 8:00 and 2:00 or so, the mix goes between "I can't hear it" to "I can barely hear it". Then, between 2:00 and 4:00 is the area most of us will be at, but it's such a small zone that it's hard to get that "right" mix.
Well that's a shame. And a stupid mistake/problem, if so ... :/
If they fix this issue in a future version I may buy this pedal.
There are a ton of trim pots in this pedal; maybe one can control the range of the mix knob.
6:06 when he says "morph" his voice has some sort of demonic/robot glitch on it. 😳
6:12 happens again when he finishes his sentence. I'm onto you Andy...
Nothing going on there, just my voice.
How many delays? For example would it produce same kind if delays as on this song, listen to the intro with the lead guitar parts: ua-cam.com/video/0UsFR9bHOYE/v-deo.html
OOOOOOeeeeeHHHH well well tuderututuuuuuuu.....
Woman... Nice!
WOMAN!
самый охуенный дилей
Get the Canyon EHX that’s worth the money. Or better yet save a little bit and get the normal carbon copy. This is too pricey for the finished product.
ANDY IS GOD
No Clapton.
No, Don Carr.
mxr bad knobs...
Man, this pedal is a few years late huh? Even the original was a few years late. And why is their mix control designed that way? Noon should be 50/50. Every carbon copy i've played needs that cranked to at least 3'oclock to hear the repeats at all. No bueno.
Cabby Cabby the mix on my settings isn't even to 9 o'clock and I get too wet of a signal. .
Brian J Are you talking about the original carbon copy?
Cabby squared - I think you hit the nail on the head. This is the same reason I'm not buying it.
I'm glad you got that off your chest man.
I had the chance to compare two original Carbon Copy against each other. They´re all different. Same with the Way Huge Supa Puss. Some are more gainy than others, you gotta try and find the one which is for you.
