cjwise_17's Metal Music Gear Setup

Perfect solution. Does exactly what it’s supposed to. Solid MXR quality construction, and consistent.

EDIT: After a couple months, I now truly understand why it’s so much better to have a high gain amp and a little green beast boosting the front as opposed to relying on a dirt pedal through a clean channel. I LOVE this pedal.

Just got this little green monster. Haven’t had a chance to really dig into it yet, but I plugged it in and found a setting I loved within 30 seconds! To be fair; I had a vague idea going into it where I wanted to dial in, but I was so impressed with how much it tightens up my tone. I can’t wait to do a deep dive on this thing! Anyone who knows anything about the history of music equipment knows the importance of the Tube Screamer. That being said, why would anyone settle for anything less than the one that set the standard in the first place? Pick one of these up and discover for yourself why this pedal is a must have for everyone who plays electric guitar!

The TS9 and the DS-1 in one pedal with expanded range?! Hell yeah, I’ll take eight! Very good pedal. The only thing that’s a little tough is that it takes manual adjustments depending on what you’re looking for. Tough to adjust in a live environment. But very awesome tones!!!

EDIT 2: Got it back. Thank God...

EDIT: I am the world's biggest idiot for selling this thing...

A little tough on the initial setup if you don't know what you're doing (which I didn't when I bought it), but once you learn how it works, you'll learn why this is one of the best noise gates on the market.

I want to preface this by saying I really don't know a whole lot about delay pedals. I know basically what they do, and I know they are an essential part of anyone's pedalboard, but I've never had one to play with. The Carbon Copy continually pops up in almost every top 10 list, and I've seen so many of my favorite musicians rant and rave about this pedal, so it seemed like a no-brainer. I already know how awesome the MXR Reverb pedal is, and I thought the Carbon Copy would be a good compliment to my existing setup. I'm still learning how to use it, but so far, I've already found at least one setting that I really like. It really fattens up the tone when I'm doing chugging riffs. So far, I'm very impressed. (Don't judge me on this LOL) As I'm typing this, I'm reading an article about the best ways to use this pedal, and the effect that it can have on a rock/metal tone. I'm just now reading about something called "slapback delay", and the dial settings to achieve it. Oddly enough, the settings I've stumbled upon by accident and have been using thus far are not that far off from the recommended settings. I can't wait to get home and try this out again!

Definitely a must have. All digital, but gives the feel of analog. Spring setting feels 100% authentic. Pad setting is particularly cool; it gives really cool shimmery tail effect. I've mainly been using the Plate setting, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Truly authentic analog sound, extremely user friendly, and very versatile. Definitely love this one.
