Is the best analog delay I have ever owned... That is all.

I'll agree that the modulation on the Carbon Copy is not so amazing, but the delay is really great for the price, as well as being a small form factor box, and with a blue LED! 
Needless to say, I'm loving mine! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Fort Myers, FL | | | I played one yesterday and thought it sounded just about as good as the analog delay I use. The great thing about it was size!!! Too bad the Modulation mod is so damn annoying to do with those silly SMD components... sigh.
Also, if you unscrew the back, you will find trim-pots for the modulation circuit ("Width" and "Speed"). If anyone wants to try the mods let me know and ill link it!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Fort Myers, FL | | Actually after a bit of googling I found a much easier way to increase the depth of Modulation. All you would have to do is replace the 470K resistor (R7) with a lesser value ~100K.
This should greatly increase the Modulation you'll get with the circuit. Happy modding!  |

There are techniques to such things...
For the iron tip dilemma, I simply, carefully, filed the tip down with a very fine file. I also purchased another few tips afterwards, though. It never hurts to have a few extras laying around . | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
