The Carbon Copy Deluxe is the delay that we’ve all been waiting for! The Carbon Copy is already a firm favourite in the guitar pedal world and this Deluxe version just gives you that much more control over your delays and repeats.

Control and then some

Not only do you get those lush, analogue delay repeats but you also have plenty of control over how those repeats come out. With a bright switch for more top-end (if you want the delays to cut through the mix) and a modulation switch which adds a chorusy tone to your repeats. This gives it that true 60s and 70s delay vibe.

The Carbon Copy Deluxe also has a subdivision control which means you can split the repeats into dotted 8th, 8th, 16th notes or even triplets.

Tap Tempo

A big problem that smaller delay pedals tend to have is that there’s no space for a tap tempo. But this double switch carbon copy deluxe has a tap tempo on-board which means you can easily get your guitar in-sync with the song you’re playing at the time.

  • Analog delay guitar effects pedal with up to 1.2s of delay
  • Tap tempo functionality makes synchronizing your delays to a song’s tempo effortless
  • Tap division feature with 4 subdivisions: dotted 8th, 8th, triplet, and 16th and an easy-to-read status display
  • Bright switch toggles between the original Carbon Copy’s darker tone and the Bright version’s more articulate sound
  • Mod function with top-mounted Speed and Width controls adds shimmering beauty to your tone
  • Expression jack for external control of various functions
  • Programmable presets allow for quick changes during a performance
  • True-bypass switching preserves your guitar’s tone

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Expression

Expression pedals allow real-time control over specific parameters on compatible guitar pedals, such as volume, delay time, modulation depth, or filter sweep. Used with an expression input, they let players shape effects dynamically with their foot, adding movement and performance control that cannot be achieved with fixed knob settings.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Vibe

A vibe pedal delivers that unmistakable swirling, pulsing modulation inspired by classic late-60s tones. It blends elements of chorus and phase into a deep, throbby movement that feels organic and three-dimensional under your fingers. From subtle shimmer to full psychedelic swirl, vibe adds motion without losing the core of your sound.

Use it to bring warmth and texture to clean chords, add movement to sustained leads, or capture that rich, expressive wobble heard on countless vintage recordings. Smooth, hypnotic, and full of character, a vibe pedal turns simple phrases into something far more atmospheric and alive.
