    I distinctly remember when the first Carbon Copy came out. Oddly enough, I have no recollection of the Deluxe being launched, but ever since noticing it, I've wondered if the additional features were worth the bump in price. Let's not delay.

      Actually, was looking for a really good true analog delay for a Worship Pedalboard. Now the ones that are there are digital copies saying "analog delay" *ahem-ahem* *boss*. So was really considering the Deluxe over the regular CC. Looking at the dotted 8ths and other options, it's a really good option.

    Great vid, I have the deluxe but was considering downgrading to the standard version to save pedalboard space but after watching this I think I'll keep it. I do like having the tap tempo, and mod controls where I can access them.

    Nice Couch straps! I love the several that I use. Oh....and the review! I had a chance to try a Carbon Copy about 12 years ago. It was nice, but not having the tap tempo was a deal killer. I went a with a Hungry Robot The Wash instead. But if I had the chance back then to try the Deluxe I may very well have purchased that.

    I browsed the internet after you mentioned the Rubberneck. I remember i bought it in 2022 for €180 new and i was amazed that it was so "cheap". But it did have some issues to be considered. Luckily those issues were not a big deal for me. Having said that, i just looked it up as i said and it is now €299 new. That's a more than 50% increase! It is insane..

  • @moorecreativ

    i really like the comparison to manual transmissions and film photography. i think there are 2 qualities to that group of things that people will always connect with. one is the physical interaction, the second is the quality they provide. viynl sounds better, manuals make driving more enjoyable, film has its quality that is hard to replicate because so many variables effect the outcome. and when it comes to pedals, its easy to see how those qualities will always be desirable.
    i think that is also a separate player/customer than those who are into the big digital pedals and certainly rack gear. its incredibly hard to duplicate the sounds of rack gear in pedal form, or even plug-in form, but all the tech is advancing to where its possible to put good rack sounds into pedals which i believe is a huge opportunity for pedal makers. and looking at the BOSS SDE3000, if they can bring the price down in the future, it just opens up a new avenue for pedal making.

  • @nickolasecker9596
    @nickolasecker9596 6 місяців тому

    I have a few analog delays, an og deluxe memory man, a boss dm-2w, and the Asheville adg-1. Part of me wants to buy a carbon copy, just to have on hand for comparison. I generally am not much for uber dark pedals but there something musical about the carbon copy, and it’s simple execution. My first BBD delay was the dm-2w but I picked up a carbon copy not long after, I think I preferred the versatility of the dm-2w’s multi modes but I came back to the carbon copy at times for the modulated repeats.

Rack stuff coming back. Dusted my ol ibanez sdr1000+ of, stacked it against bluesky/ specular tempus… its great. Got mine for 80 bucks.

    Does anyone know if the Modulation Speed occurs within the repeat or the played note? for example: repeats is 4, modulation speed is 3 = 12 modulations within that single played note. VS. repeats is 4, modulation speed is 3 = 3 modulations within the single played note (which would sound like hell with repeats being 4.

      I think they may have implemented it differently on earlier models but I wasn’t able to find any definitive writeup to confirm it.
      What’s really interesting is you could potentially use the A/B thing to ease the modulation into your delay. I think it hits a really good price/feature spot.
