In your opinion which is a better analog delay, Ibanez AD-9, Malekko Echo 300(dark), or the MXR Carbon Copy??? Im looking to spend less than $200.  |

It has a nice analog-sounding delay with (if I remember correctly) a full second of delay time, plus one of my all-time favorite choruses in one box. It'll run you about $180, and it's a little bit on the large side, but it sounds amazing, in my opinion. |

The Ibanez is a subtle pedal. If that's what you like, go for it! It's not as "in your face" as other delay pedals...Nice and subtle and well-suited for bass! |

Save up and get the MoogerFooger MF104Z. It's big. It's expensive. But... it's worth it! |

Are there any "analog" delays out there that have tap tempo, or is this a digital delay feature only?
I can't seem to find any analog delays with this feature...if they are out there...please let me know...

If you do set the Carbon Copy to the above setting, your foundation will rattle. Not even earplugs will help you.

|  | Registered User | | | | | another vote for the carbon copy if you are looking for a darker sound...
i love how smooth the time and regeneration work together manually.
no problems here with the modulation, i just popped the back off and
turned the depth up all the way(there are two internal pots, one for depth, one for speed). the small size is great, the blue led very easy to see. i scored mine for around 100 bucks used, in the box. perfect compliment if you already have a digital delay. |

For example the new Boss DD-7 has tap tempo and from what i heard a decently good analog setting. Another one would be the new digitech delay that is comming out. Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSBmy9mGeb0
Please correct me if Im wrong. |

Actually, my digital, (SMMH) has been acting up recently, and was sent over to my second board, (which I never use), so maybe a Carbon Copy is in my near future. I'm kinda filter heavy atm anyway, I could make room.
