Mini delay pedals

Hello friends!

I'm looking for a mini delay pedal that takes up little space. I have seen the tc flashback mini (digital) and the ibanez mini (analog).

Between these two, which one do you recommend? Now if there are others, they are welcome.

Greetings and thanks!

Hello. Besides the size of the pedal, what are your requirements (features, audio quality, power consumption, price, etc.)?

They are very different types of delays, but I'm addicted to the analog sound, and the Ibanez Mini is one of my favorite-sounding delays. I'd get that one. Also, you will not be tempted to plug it into a computer.

Is the ibanez good then?

I wish I had never sold my Carbon Copy mini.

I've seen it too, but it's still expensive... 180 usd in my country compared to 70/80 usd for used ibanez and tc mini. I can get the normal version of CC for 100 usd, but it doesn't fit on my board...

I have 20-ish because it’s an obsession. Is size your only constraint?

Yeah I have a pedaltrain nano+ and I drop one last pedal lol. It would be a small size and the same price, I'm not looking for something so expensive.

I haven't try the Ibanez but I have the TC Flashback mini and I like it. I like the tap tempo feature on it.

In my case I could get version 1 (No tap tempo), but I need something really simple.

Some boutique/interesting options.

I don't have access to this type of pedals unfortunately, they are not sold in my country :(

Carbon Copy Mini is my favorite. I owned the Ibanez AD9, and if the Ibanez mini is based on that it sounds great as well. I'm using a Boss for digital delay, but it's not mini and I use it for making noises instead.

Same here. The tc Flashback Mini does everything I want from a simple, straightforward delay...and any time I want something more, I'm probably not thinking of anything even remotely "simple, straightforward" and so I'm willing to deal with a pedal that has a larger footprint.

I have a Carbon Copy mini, and am very happy with it.
