MXR M-299 Carbon Copy Delay Mini Pedal:
What does MXR say. The Carbon Copy Mini Analog Delay packs organic analogue warmth and ease of use into an MXR mini housing. In its default mode, this pedal’s repeats yield the dark, mellow wash that made the Carbon Copy Analog Delay famous. For players who want more sparkle and clarity, we added a Bright switch that accentuates high end frequencies for increased presence and distinctively vocal repeats. And of course, the Carbon Copy Mini Delay is outfitted with the same modulation section as its forebear. Push the Mod switch and adjust the internal Speed and Depth controls to add everything from tape echo warble to shimmery, liquefied chorusing to your repeats. Finally, adjust the parameters of your delay signal with the Regen, Mix, and Delay controls.
Personal Comment:
Before I make my own personal comment I will preface this with a general statement so the reader understands what I'm seeking to convey. EFX pedals are very much a personal choice although clearly, some pedals have more features than others and build cost will have a bearing on what you are getting for your money. Another point to raise is that, pedals may react differently depending on the amplifier in use or whether the pedals are going straight into the front of an amp or are routed via an amplifiers effects loop.
So, I bought the MXR Carbon Copy Delay mini pedal because I heard good things about it and again I chose the mini size as at that time I wanted a very small footprint of a pedal board. While the pedal worked well with some amplifiers, it did not fair so well with some others, regardless of being plugged into either the amplifier front-end or the effects loop, and so I had no option but to sell it. I ended up replacing it with a more expensive and larger pedal, the Keeley Halo. Once again, I did like the pedal, but perhaps the mini size gave it limitations compared to the larger version available?
