Island Music Company hooked me up with one of the best delay pedals on the planet, and I went crazy with it. On my quest to assemble the ultimate pedalboard, which began with the Keeley Seafoam Chorus, I never really had a doubt about which delay pedal I would be targeting.
My first experience with the Carbon Copy came in college when I was recording my first "real" album in a "real" studio. I have no idea if that danky old studio in Lynn, MA, which smelled of cigarettes, sweat, and bad decisions (a perfect fit for me and my bandmates at the time) is still in business, but it had some pretty amazing gear inside, including a Cage Corsa, and of course, the MXR Carbon Copy Delay.
This delay is analog, so you know your guitar signal is going to be more expansive than if you went with something digital. Despite that fact, you can achieve some truly alien-like, effected noises with this device.
Where this pedal wins is in its subtlety. I like delay to enhance my lead tones without it being obvious that there is even a delay pedal present. The Carbon Copy excels at this, ranging from the faintest of signals to the most extreme of spaceship sounds.
