MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analogue Delay Pedal

Main Features

• True analogue signal path
• Up to 600ms delay time
• SImple controls offer a wide range of effects
• Internal trim pots offer user adjustable control of modulation
• True hardware Bypass

The MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay features a completely analogue audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay—made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology.


This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)—all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90.

In addition, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp 'bathroom' slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hardwire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.
