MXR Echoplex Delay vs Caitlinbread Belle Epoch

[Jack Hanson]

Any one have experience with both of these pedals to the point that they could offer a comparison between the two? Strengths & weaknesses, etc.

Just some random thoughts.........

No experience with either unit.

I looked up the MXR.
For a pedal it has a LOT of features under the hood that can be used.
IMO maybe too many.
I looked at the manual, and started losing patience with all of the different modes and how to access them and the various TRS connections and what they do and........now I'm getting a headache.
Also, if it matters, I wasn't able to fully determine if this pedal is real TBP, or hardwire bypass, or buffered bypass.

The demo sure sounded nice, though.
I'm sure that some people have these and are happy with them and sound good.
I have an MXR Carbon Copy that I got for real cheap and like it. Its delay time maximum is not quite as long as the Echoplex, if that matters.

Hopefully someone else will chime in for you.

This is a game changer. It takes care of every issue that the carbon copy has. If you want a real analog bucket brigade sound and feel it looks real good.

Just for the record since it wasn't spelled out, what Bob Hoffnar is referring to is the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe.

Among other things it has a much longer delay time than the original Carbon Copy.

And, there was also this bit of information:

"We regret that this item is not available at this time."

Musician's Friend shows the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe now in stock.

I'll stick with my Green Echoplex that
i got from forumite Don Dixon.
Nothing else comes close! Something about the 6 volt circuit
i think.

The MXR Echoplex Delay and the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe are two different animals:
