@@ChrisHollandGuitar Your video was very dynamic and straight to what I needed, and I had a lot of doubts about these two pedals, a pity that here in Brazil they are very expensive. Success to you, always.
I really like both pedals. I currently have the Flashback on my pedalboard, as I need crisp digital delay for some of the tunes that I play...but the modulation effect on the MXR is really useful for atmospheric riffs.
The repeats are much better on the Carbon Copy! I have the Flashback 2 but find it to be too sterile. Sure its a Jack of All Trades but Master of none! MXR sure is the Master of Analogness! I think I need me a CC
I ended up selling the Carbon Copy. It's great at what it does, but the Flashback does the analog thing plus much more. The Modulation mode is amazing.
Nice playing. I’m surprised how clingy sounding the MXR is, there’s no daylight between the source and the delay. To me, on my iPad the flashback is the clear winner for clarity without being ‘bright’. The mxr is more flattering to the source but the delays seem mushy with an overtone around 900Hz.
I definitely hear what you mean with the MXR being mushy sounding. I think that pedal shines with dreamy & atmospheric riffs, with the modulation effect on, and the delay turned up quite a bit. The TC Electronic has a clarity that I prefer for most situations.
@@ChrisHollandGuitar absolutely, I believe mine is arriving today 🙌🏻 Intrigued by the mash stuff too. May end up with a carbon copy to stack with the flashback.. or an echorec.. Never really been about delay but it’s growing on me quite quickly 😂 Thanks for your time. 🙌🏻
It's “Secret Conversations” by The 126ers. Fun fact: it's available as free stock music in the TH-cam audio library, or at least it WAS back in 2015-2016. I first heard it at the end of a vlogger's video...not bad for stock music, eh?
That was deliberate. The Flashback doesn't have a modulation option built into the analog delay, so enabling that on the Carbon Copy defeats the purpose of the shootout. Think about it - I'd be comparing an analog delay with a modulated analog delay. Not the point of the video.

Thank you so much for this video. It really helps❤
@@reuben.l.murray Glad you found it helpful!
Dude, thanks for the video! A big hug here from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thanks Sergio, glad you enjoyed the video!

Mrx killed it. And got the mod that makes a difference as well
Let's dance... ! Hey great demo .. This is how to do it !! well done brother
Thank you! I knew somebody out there would appreciate the David Bowie tune, haha
@@ChrisHollandGuitar Yeah great song from Mr Bowie ... Top notch demo mate !!
The tone is sumilar but Suprisingly I like the slightly better clarity and decay on the simple MXR.
I prefer the sound of the MXR as well, it sounds so organic. The TC Electronic has some nice options though.
Warmer sound with the CC.. colder with TC
I own a flashback 2 but i m gonna try the mxr.

Loved hearing some Lizzo. Thanks for the demo!
Haha, I didn't know if anybody would recognize that riff. Thanks for watching!
2:42 ah yeah, that's Raise My Rent from David Gilmour, man of culture I see
I love his first solo album so much!
7:25 The Glass Prison!
Great riff, had to play it in a different key though! I have no seven stringers (yet)

Ahhhhh the darknessss
?
It's the Carbon copy all the way for my old ears .
It sounds more organic and “pretty” to my ears.
tc !

@@ChrisHollandGuitar Carbon Copy - a little muddy sound// Flashback - bright sound and the Modulation mode is amazing.
Nice playing.

I think they’ve eq’d the pedal to sound more ‘tape’.

Never really been about delay but it’s growing on me quite quickly 😂
Thanks for your time. 🙌🏻
@@ascgazz I hope you get into messing with the toneprint software and editing your own things. it's so fun.
do you have any of the setting for these samples on the MXR
Are you using the pedals in the effects loop of an amp?
Yes. It's being ran in the effects loop of a Blackstar HT Studio 20 Combo Amp.
@@ChrisHollandGuitar Ok thx, great video btw 👍🏻
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What’s the song at 3:18

Tc
It's what I currently use, just so much more versatile.
He not adjust the mxr very well. He not even put the mod on so this video a complete waist of time
