Critic Reviews

MXR Carbon Copy Bright review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The MXR Carbon Copy Bright Analog Delay is a hit for those seeking a brighter, all-analog delay. Simple controls make it user-friendly, offering versatile delay effects from slapback to extended echoes. The standout feature is its brightness, providing clarity that cuts through mixes better than its predecessor. While it lacks any significant cons, the need for a separate mains adaptor might be a minor inconvenience. Overall, it's a well-realized update that retains the charm of the original while enhancing its tonal clarity.

Quick Hit: MXR Carbon Copy Bright - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The MXR Carbon Copy Bright Analog Delay offers a delightful blend of digital clarity and analog warmth, making it a versatile choice for guitarists grappling with the analog vs. digital dilemma. Its pronounced high end brings crispness to the echoes, ideal for clean arpeggios and light overdriven leads. However, this enhancement can render the modulation less natural and accentuate some clock noise. Despite these minor drawbacks, its adjustable modulation section and overall rich, colorful sound make it a classy option for those seeking a balance between old-school soul and modern definition.

Awesome analog delay

Of course, it is brighter and a little more defined than the traditional carbon copy so I can imagine that a lot of people searching for that kind of sound wouldn't trade the original and successful version for this... but it beats me that Jim Dunlop even stopped producing this pedal after few years because it's just awesome! I tried the original version and I loved it, but I could imagine some hard times using it together with the other instruments (which is the only real complaint anyone has ever had about the CC i think). So guided only by youtube reviews and without even trying it I still chose to get this version secondhand and wait few days to have it, and I'm really happy about the choice. I got it and played with it for a couple weeks now, and IMO it's an awesome analog delay (brighter doesn't mean that it "sounds digital"), with exactly the same controls of the original and a really cool look... the only difference with the original CC is that this one will find its place in the mix way better, so for me that's an upgrade, certainly not a downgrade.

I used the bog standard Jim Dunlop wah and one of the MXR green delay pedals. There was an MXR Micro Amp for an extra push here and there, nothing fancy beyond that really.

(This is a rough guess on which pedal it actually is - but it could be some other Carbon Copy. MXR also had a vintage 70’s green analog delay.
