Warm bucket-brigade delay
The Carbon Copy is a genuine analog (bucket-brigade) delay, which gives it a warm, slightly dark repeat that decays naturally and never steps on your dry signal. A modulation switch adds a lovely subtle wobble for that vintage tape feel.

It is simple — three knobs — and that simplicity is the appeal: it does warm, musical analog echo better than almost anything at the price, which is why it is a board staple.
