Carbon Copy analog delay

A delay is a versatile effect for the fiddle and can color the tone in a broad range of genres - from folk over blues, jazz and rock.

The MXR Carbon Copy is a simple analog delay. It has 3 control knobs and a push-button for activating the modulation option.


Dunlops Carbon Copy Delay ranges from 20ms - 600ms controlled by the Delay knob. You can control the number of  repeats with the Regen knob. By rotating the Mix knob you set the dry/wet balance.

I have tested the Carbon Copy with my old german violin with the Bradivarius pickup going into the Source Audio programmable EQ.
