MXR Carbon Copy VS Boss DM-2w
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2020
- Analog Delay has made a massive resurgence in the last 10 years. Guitar players have been looking for warm sounding repeats that digital pedals don't quite replicate. Today I am comparing 2 modern classic analog delay pedals; the MXR Carbon Copy and the Boss DM-2w. For drive I am using the Mooer Blues Crab, which is a Blues Breaker clone and One Control Golden Acorn D style drive.

Product Info
Ever since being discontinued way back in 1984, the BOSS DM-2 Delay pedal has remained highly sought after by players everywhere for its warm, “bucket brigade” analog delay tone. Now, the DM is back! With the Waza Craft DM-2W, the coveted stomp has been reborn with switchable sound modes and greater versatility for today’s music styles. Using 100-percent analog circuitry, the DM-2W’s Standard mode nails the lush sound and 20-300 ms delay range of the original DM-2. Flipping into Custom mode instantly changes the sound character to a cleaner analog tone with over twice the available delay time.
Go from crisp "bathroom" slap echoes to epic, Gilmouresque delays with the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. Featuring 600ms of delay time with optional modulation, and a three-knob layout that controls Delay, Mix, and Regen. In addition, there are two internal trim pots that offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. All done by a completely analog audio path for authentic rich, warm analog delay-made possible only by old-school analog bucket brigade technology. True bypass.

I love it! Great video and opening presentation. I’ve a DM-3 on my board for a decade now and I love it. I bought a Carbon Copy as a back up then I also bought the CC Bright! I’ve played the Waza and it’s a fine pedal. Great value for money if you like to keep all things Boss.
I've heard good things about the DM-3.
This is the most original video on pedals comparison I've ever seen Great done!
Thank you for the review I just found a great setting for my dm2w
Best review ever
I am going for the Boss DM
Glad you liked it.
Agree 100% with your analysis man, I’ve owned and love both. The key to getting the most of the CC Modulation is manipulating the two inner pots, it can really make it as useable or crazy sounding as you want
this is a great video - thanks for posting!
thank you ! really help me to make my choice, good review !
Really Great Video Man ❤
MXR delay is more subtle, darker,... It's just a matter of taste I guess but I would go for the boss DM. Anyway, great demo!
Great demo!
I didn’t know you did a demonstration of these 2 delay pedals. I’m trying to get the one that people used to use back in the 90s when they did those Kerry King whammy bar dives. I’m thinking Carbon Copy?! Great demo!
Love your channel
Thank you very much!
Nice comparison. I have the CC but I think the DM-2w sounds better as a general delay here. Did you try running the MXR at 12v?
You seem like a good dude. Subbing and looking forward to checking out your other content.
I have them both and like stacking the effects but find it hard to sinc them sometimes.Have just ordered the Keeley Halo in the hope that the one pedal does it all.
I’m confused between the two. I used to think the boss was better but then on a few videos I noticed the mxr decays the note in a more obvious way aswell as getting darker faster. To me it sounds like the mxr because of that more obvious delay and darkening makes the delay sound more 3D, in other words makes it seem like it has more depth. The boss seems like then delay notes stay more upfront giving a flatter effect
I was surprised at how different they were. The CC was definitely darker and therefore needed more level to be heard. I liked the Boss better for shorter delays, but preferred the MXR for longer delays.
dude you just described exactly what i was hearing. the dm2w does lack depth slightly compared w the CC. i've owned both (currently have the boss) and have felt that but couldn't put it into words until now. so thanks!
@Catherine Halsey no worries
I’ve owned a CC, now own a DM-2w with a Diamond MLJr hybrid delay in between. I found the CC too dark for my liking. The MLJr was just too tweakable and I found myself wasting 45 minutes playing with the pedal instead of playing. The DM-2w seems just about right to me. A little brighter and easy to find some good settings. I do like the standard mode; try the full 300ms & ~2 repeats into your dirt pedals or the dirty side of your amp.
Terrific video! Does the MXR uses buffer or is TB?
True Bypass
very helpful thank you. think ill go for the Boss DM waza. both are great as you state. ive got an mxr carbon copy already and now looking for another analog delay pedal wondering if i should go for the dm wazza boss or memory man?
I've never owned a memory man, but I sold that DM-2w and regretted it, I recently bought another one.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Cool. I just bought a DM-2w this morning buddy. Tried it against a deluxe memory man with tap tempo, which sounded great in its own right but I preferred the DM-2w and bought it. I played it all evening and it is fantastic. I made the right choice. many thanks
I think DM2w and Carbon copy mini would be a better comparison, cause DM2w has custom mode and CCM has the bright switch.
I just like my delay subtle like over lead lines etc. Kinda like how Marty Schwartz demonstrates in his carbon copy indtructional video. Which one should I get? Clearly just something simple right?
I would say the MXR is the more subtle of the 2. The JHS 3 series delay is pretty good, has digital and analog modes and is pretty cheap.
Great comparison. I have a Mooer Ana Echo. it's really close to the Boss. Don't know if it's worth the change. Great playing btw :)
I had a Ana Echo recently, very similar to the DM-2
@@JasonAyalaSpare Yeah, sounds too close for the price difference to me, haha.
@@AMRartmyrock I liked the sound of it, however, 300ms isn't enough delay time for me.🤔
I’m stalking analog delay pedals right now, and these two are high up on the list (top two, actually). Super useful comparison.
The CC mini, has the addition of the “bright” mode…🤔
They actually had a CC bright, I compared it to a regular one.
subscribed buddy
Love the carbon copy...but they can be too sensitive.
Which one is more suitable for playing early U2 stuff?
I'd say the DM-2w because it's not quite as dark sounding.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Thank you for the answer!
Deluxe Memory Man.
Now, year's 2021 , soon will have new pedals, release, brands new, pedals of yesterday 's.early days , flash backs , on 1980 ......super bright voices....same .as classic. Vintages.....never ,missing agains....spend .
Boss 100x nicer.. smoother, warmer and not as dark
boss all day
AWESOME Shootout! If this is the kind of thing we can expect...SUBBED!
In this one I prefer the Boss, but you really can't go wrong either way.
I agree.
Great vids Jason! I have so much similar gear, Fender Custom 68, Blues Crab, Exotic Ep and both these delays. Do you notice an overall brightness with the DM-2 even when it's off cause it's buffered bypass? I'm kinda thinking of going with MXR Carbon as my main with the Joe Bonamassa theory, better to be too dark than too trebly.
Glad you like them 👍 The buffers in the waza pedals are brighter than their standard buffers which does make them brighter. On a smaller board that would be more noticeable.
Yes the darker the better like the old Roland 501,301 tape echo’s.
By the way does anyone of these pedal makes the volume drop?
Which pedal has a more stable volume when activated?
Neither pedal have any volume drop that I noticed.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Thanks very much for the reply
The Best Analog delay vs ever!
Thanks Luis 👍🎸
Nice vid! I also have the MXR carbon copy, great delay!
They're very underrated.
Jason Ayala Spare I agree, great delay pedal 👍
The waza does not at all sound like the original. I happen to like them both. I’d liken the original DM2/3 to the CC original. The waza is closer to the CC bright
i just prefer boss pedals because they're so much easier to stomp on while playing.
I need help, i play mostly clean music, which should i purchase?
It depends, the MXR is darker and therefore more subtle and has modulation. The boss has the ability of tap tempo with an external switch. If you want a cleaner, more crisp delay go digital.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Ok, thank you
@@JasonAyalaSpare hey, does it have a tap tempo? as far as i know it only supports for the rate so i thought it is just for an expression pedal.
both good delay but mod CC unusal
MXR sounds more modern. DM-2w sounds classic
Does both of these pedals use batteries?
yes
@@JasonAyalaSpare thanks much
Carbon Copy.
Carbon copy kills it. BOSS as usual is underwhelming. Add WAZA and it's underwhelming and twice as expensive.
How many waza pedals have you actually played? This is a true recreation of the OG DM-2…maybe you just don’t like that sound as much
@@errolpereira8292 The bottom line is I JUST DO NOT LIKE BOSS EFFECTS, PERIOD. They're boring, flat, and underwhelming to me, just as I said.
@@DarthEcoli SPEAKING IN CAPS! damn big feelings over Boss pedals
@@errolpereira8292 Yeah? And why does it matter so much to you? You felt some sort of need to make the initial reply to begin with.
@@DarthEcoli I was originally curious what your experience was. In your response you said absolutely nothing but responded like an immature twat. Here we are. Don’t buy BOSS see if Roland care
I really dont understand any of these comparison videos on TH-cam, old or new! I dont think ive ever seen one video where the settings are even tuned the same.......... thats the whole point!
What I've learned from doing these videos is that by applying the same settings, they don't sound the same. For example, the echo knob on the DM2 works backwards and both pedals have different delay times.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Adjust by ear not eye.
Boss Pedals always have that transistor sound inside them. Not bad in this one but still. Always there.
If you don't like transistors you probably don't like pedals my man.
