“Easily my favourite delay pedal!”
“Great pedal for me. Yes the Delay does not go slow enough. And, yes the location of the power port is ridiculous and causes problems in set up.”
“I tried one and while it's a very good bang for the buck and the size is desireable, it still doesn't have anything on my DMM.”
“Love the CarbonCopy.”
“It was my first delay to buy, first to get rid of.”
“Buy a different one not this one”
“Love mine. I’ve had it for a decade now & it’s still my favorite delay.”
“the mxr is really nice, but its a one trick pony. It does the analog thing really well, but thats it.”
