mxr-sized Delay with low cut/high pass?

**DosiYanarchy** · #1 05-21-2009, 02:19 PM

Hey all, just got a MXR Carbon Copy and I think its great, however I kinda miss the filter (high/low pass) on the Stereo MM w/hazarai.

I find that the repeats muddy the low ends when i play in the lower registers.

I'm looking for something with a similar size and price to the Carbon copy, with a low cut/highpass on the repeats so the delay can still be heard, but not 'felt' as much.

Any suggestions?

oh yeah - 9v centre '-' essential - low MA draw prefered

and a status LED would be good too (not all pedals have em, so i thought id specify)

thanks

Honestly, I don't know of any MXR-sized delays that have a tone control at all. The only ones I know are bigger than that, like the dd-20, the nova delay/repeater, the superdelay, and the DL-4.

I guess the SMMH will be your LS-2 (aka the pedal you buy again and again) hahaha

i miss the SMMH, it is really cool, but TBH im not that big on delay - but if i had the filter that SMMH has on my CC, then i'd be so much happier.

Speaking of the LS2 - I guess i could put the CC in a loop with an eq pedal - but i dont really have any room for that

This might be what you're looking for.

analog echo

It has the same controls as the Carbon Copy with a tone control.

Hey now, that looks like just the ticket - I could take or leave the modulation on the CC (although i usually take it).

Problem is after postage and import tax, id probably be looking at about £150 GBP, which is a little more than i wanna spend at the moment.

but that does look like what i want, im gonna see if i can find a UK distributer.

Actually, that looks like the tone control cuts the highs to make the repeats warmer and more analog-like. Sounds like you were after the opposite, you want to be able to filter out the lows from the repeats to reduce mudiness? If it's possible to mod the GGG delay to introduce such a control, maybe Ryan at Fuzzrocious could do you a special modded version of the Walking Delay?

yeah dan, you got it. I think something like the lo-fi mode on the Digitech Hardwire Delay might do it (i dont actually know, its just a guess).

From what experience with delays i do have, analog/tape echos do seem to cut the lows too, but i want that cut to happen faster than it to at the moment.

I love the CC but im having a hard time balancing clean and wet tones, coz i want the delay to be heard, but i dont want it effecting the groove - im using it more for existing parts, rather than bassines built around delay. So low cut is the way forward for me i think.

As for Fuzzrocious - i think ryan's got alot on at the moment, so he's sticking to muffs for now but will be expanding the product line i the summer (i think thats what he said)

I guess the Hardwire is next up for trial, so the Carbon copy and the PS3 are up for grabs.
