Designed by FX leg-end Jeorge Tripps, the Carbon Copy became an instant classic when it launched back in 2008. The repeats are very warm (there’s a Bright version if that’s too warm for you) with the added benefit of on-board modulation. Slapback to psychedelia: sorted.

When this debuted in 1981 the world was turning to more ‘superior’ digital delays. What we know now is that ‘bucket-brigade’ analog devices are their own, inimitable thing. Thus Boss reintroduced this all-time classic, with a new Custom mode for longer, clearer repeats if you want them too.

Designed with collaboration from EH Deluxe Memory Man creator Howard Davis, here we have old-school bucket-brigade magic meeting modern features such as tap tempo and footswitchable modulation. An absolute fave here at TPS and true stereo too: wonderful! 

We start with an exceptional analog delay capable of everything you’d expect, including tap tempo, subdivisions, a hold function and kill-dry. In addition there are four modes – Vibrato, Tape-Age, Random and Pitch-Shift – to add a whole otherworldly side to your repeats.
