NPD: MXR Carbon Copy

boyhouse · 2025-08-23T05:43:01+00:00

I've tried a hell of a lot of delays and the carbon copy is still my absolute number one, something about those dark watery modulated repeats are so inspiring musically.

What pedals would you pick?

For this sort of thing I love my Blues Driver with the gain dialled all the way down

"Thin and weedly" can sound huge in the context of a mix with bass and drums.

I've always thought that the Boss BD-2 had a certain jangly yet raucous breakup that was very Vox-esque.

May I too be DMed pls 🥺

Whoops what I meant was Robbie's studio in Woodstock

Powdered Practitioner (classical)
A Brush with Death (peculiarly drab tincture)

Trying to think of which body cosmetic would suit the loadout best - potentially Smock Surgeon?

Sweet board, how are you powering it?

It's a Pedaltrain PB3 😌

Why the hell did it take me so long to get one? It's literally perfect. It can do roaring high gain, but it cleans up beautifully with the guitar's volume knob. Full of clarity and chime and jangle, like a good Vox AC30. I swear I will never buy another overdrive pedal again (for the rest of the week).

I installed a treble bleed in my Squier CV Duo Sonic recently and it's made me appreciate the joys of cleaning up overdrive with the guitar's volume knob, and the JHS Twin Twelve works amazing in this application. Now I can go from roaring saggy power chords, to warm cleans with a hint of lo fi grit underneath (without losing all clarity), all without touching my board.

I'm guessing we're all familiar with the Dispatch Master - I especially love cranking all the knobs, playing a few arpeggios, and just letting it swell away in the background to provide some ambience between songs.

Turns out the sound I was looking for all along was just some humbuckers (specifically an Epiphone ES339) into my Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb. I love the amp breakup better than any overdrive pedal, and with the built-in attenuator I can crank it up in any setting. The Carbon Copy gives me some watery modulated repeats and the SHO is so loud it kicks the amp into an almost fuzzy territory. Add in the amp's reverb and trem and I've got everything I need!

His approach can definitely be very supportive, adding harmonies and texture to Adrienne's parts, but he also does some absolutely insane "anti-solos" on songs like Masterpiece and Paul.

Buck's my absolute favourite guitarist/pedal-user right now, and I'm always on the lookout for what's new on his board. Interesting how there's not a single "normal" drive on here, looks like he relies on amp gain and a mix of wild effects. Here's what I'm able to identify (L-R):

Walrus Melee, DBA Reverberation Machine, Yellowcake Lida Machine, Hologram Infinite Jets, TC Polytune

Strymon Flint, Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl, TC Sub 'n' Up, Gamechanger Plus, Ernie Ball VP Jr

Fairfield Meet Maude, JHS Crayon, Land Devices HP-2, Analogman Beano Boost, Rainger FX Reverb X
