Carbon Copy vs Deluxe… Not What I Expected

Is the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe actually an upgrade… or just a bigger version of the classic? In this video, I compare the MXR Carbon Copy and the Carbon Copy Deluxe side by side — tone, modulation, delay range, tap tempo, and real-world usability on a pedalboard. The original Carbon Copy is a modern classic. Warm analog repeats, simple controls, and it just works. The Deluxe adds tap tempo, expanded delay time, bright switch, expression control, and deeper modulation options. But here’s the real question: Do those features actually make it better — or just more complicated? If you already own the Carbon Copy and you're thinking about upgrading, this video will help you decide if it’s worth it. No hype. No brand worship. Just real comparison. #mxr #carboncopy #carboncopydeluxe #mxrpedals #analogdelay #guitarpedals #guitargear #guitardelay #delaypedal #pedalboard #guitartone #guitardemo #guitarcomparison #gearreview #guitarplayers
