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.

MXR Carbon Copy Bright. Bottom middle in photo. Top Middle of her board. Even though it's hard to read the model name on the pedal, all the knobs and buttons 9plus the color of the pedal) indicate this is an MXR Carbon Copy Bright.
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.
