Kinda. If you have the delay set for a higher time the Carbon Copy won't go into it right away, but after you play something.

Is self-ocsilation harmful

Yeah same with the EB once you play one note it effects that a few times then goes f***** crazy.
I just had an Idea for a delay.
A delay in a wah housing with the treadle controlling either repeats or delay! And a switch to switch between the two.

Sorry for the long post in advance but
i was thinking about this too...i have a broken wahone and a working DD-3 i wanted to have modded. I have no experience with this myself so id have no idea what to do. I figured the tube sim, reverse, low pass and high q pushbuttons could be used to switch between the different delay modes,the range knob could controll the effect level, the volume/wah mode pushbutton could switch between the treadle controlling delay time or feedback, and the use of the treadle to control these things could be turned on and off using the active passive switch, two knobs would need to be installed to control delay time and feedback but otherwise the casing could go un-moded. Is this just too much to actually be possible or is there a company/person who would do this kind of thing?
Edit: I just realized it would be alot easier to get an expression pedal jack installed and a switch to choose between what the pedal controlls

The same thing happens with the Malekko 600. Though, like someone else mentioned, it has an expression control input to control the repeats. I think it's a common problem, I seem to remember other delays I've had doing that. It's really annoying and easy to forget about in the middle of a song - until you turn it back on. I wish it would just start back at "0" when turned back on and then ramp back into the craziness.
An expensive option, but the Empress Superdelay with an expression pedal will do what both of you are asking for
YOU WERE WARNED! I'M SHOUTING IN CASE YOU WEREN'T CAREFUL AND FUNK-A-DUCKED YOURSELF PARTIALLY DEAF.
i just found this, seems they can install an expression jack and im sure they could do what i want for an aditional fee ( a toggle switch selecting what the expression controls)

*As far as I know* there is an upper limit to the amount of signal that self-oscilation will put out; it just *sounds* dangerously loud because usually it's those frequencies with the most apparent volume that are emphasized in the overall awful racket that's created. I've never harmed anything even with extended delay-pedal self-oscilation at high volume.
Am I the only one who has always thought the the term "self oscillation" sounds like like something you do while watching Cinemax late at night.
God cries when you self oscillate.
No. But digital delay oscillation (and not all of them will) sounds very different. I think there's a clip on the Empress site of it oscillating. The Proguitarshop.com demo of the Echo Box also shows it oscillating. But my favorite for this among digital delays is the Guyatone MD-3.
Yeah, but that requires the delay (4x6) and the expression pedal (12x3). I would rather have one pedal that is 12x3 for crazy oscillation control.
Oh, and a reverse pedal design so that toe down is zero repeats. (so that when engaging the pedal it won't be on total annihilation yet)
Here's a clip of the Carbon Copy I did in oscillation mode: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7273085
i do lots of feedback, selfoscilating **** since the day i got my first crapy dist. pedal... i solved the problem of having to adjust the amp with geting a vol pedal in front and at end of chain to control the level when the madness starts to happen... not long ago, just for fun in lid all the pedals up and had my vol. at 0 or off position... let me tell ya when 50+pedals are ON, some sort of wierd self oscilation starts creaping out of vol pedal... i was afraid to even open it up cuz it was scary!!! 
The DD-20 has some interesting Self Oscillation, which can be controlled via level knob.
This is in responce to the Pedals that still trail off after being turned off, usually level knobs will take care of that.
*Wow, terrible English, time to go to bed

i used a behringer bass limiter in my effects loop to clamp down the super high output levels i'd get from oscillation and a feedback loop. It's a pretty crappy pedal but for $19 it's better than nothing. For extra protection I put a pair of back to back diodes on the return jack of my master fx loop switch box. Between the two nothing gets past it at a level that's going to hurt anything.
