Home Brew Electronics Mimick, MXR Carbon Copy, Malekko Echo 300 Bright

[GuitarSpecialist]

Great Demo... the two dislikes must be football jocks...

[DerEchteBold]

how should i judge the delay-sounds when the vid's sound is low quality and distorted?

[SpitfirePunx]

@DerEchteBold it is good enough quality mate - to be honest it depends more on your computer system & sound card. These delays are made to sound Lo-Fi so I really don't think it's a problem.....

>;-)

[guillerob99]

Mimick for me.

[AlexSongDoesCovers]

Was the Malekko on buffered or TB?

[gmlasam]

Way Huge Aqua Puss should of been included in this delay comparison as it is also less than $200.

[007Elvisofnazareth]

Why is everybody so concerned with self oscillation? It's greasy kid stuff...totally for wankers. lol ..but seriously which small footprint Analog Delay pedal has the most transparent dry signal (with the mix rolled counter clockwise.)?

[GuitaristAidan]

I like the Carbon Copy the best (Y)

[amarr1]

i like the mimic

[augfive]

save for longer  and get the maxxon ad999 pro!

[useless987]

the malekko looks and sounds cool... but the mxr has got such a warm tone!! it's my next delay, I can't wait for it to be in stock again at the guitar shop!!

[vanillaface93]

The Malekko 300 Dark actually sounds almost as warm as the CC.

It doesn't matter to me, though. I want both, anyway. :D

[ThePathofHavoc]

I'm using the CC with this setup: American Std Strat + Dimarzio Chopper -> Tonebone Classic -> Coarbon Copy -> Hotrod Deville. The CC delivers the coolest, warmest delays I've ever heard. I'm sure the other two are great, but I'm stuck on the CC (which actually sounds great running into my Nova Delay for multi tap meyhem).

[Youtubax]

For the price/quality I have to admit that the MXR should win but if we talk about pure sound quality and features the Malekko owns (expression pedal input, mode switch, non stop feedback after bypassed...).

[brownbigb]

i have the mxr but the malekko wins not on the quality of the delay tone, but the quality of the original sound is just bigger and fuller.

[okearthling]

This is a great demo - all delay demos should be set up like this.

[houseofglass21]

the Mimic sound very clear and bright, the Malekko sound very dark, the MXR sounded like the most balanced of the bunch. The MXR seemed to sound the best of the three on the high repeats setting. The Mimic sounded like it had very "clickly " oscillation, the Malekko sounded muddy, and the MXR sounded like it decayed most naturally.

[Joshplaysinstruments]

omg I can't even tell the difference.

[robertmessore]

What are you listening back on? These sound pretty radically different on my speakers -- just some inexpensive Cambridge Soundworks satellites and a sub.

[co33a]

@Joshplaysinstruments

Most likely your speakers. I have a decent set of studio monitors and I still can have the same problem as you. The internet is certainly not ideal for accurate gear tests!

[babymicrobe]

The Malekko sounds darker than my Echo 600 dark. Strange.

[adajensen]

i like the melleko most.

carbon copy takes it for the win though cause it is so affordable..

HBE is alright but i most likely woud not buy.

[subinbar]

the malekko sounds like the dark version. for the $ the MXR kills.

[artcorrpse]

agreed

[Priole2000]

They really sound so similar that it wouldn't matter to me which one I had...I'd take any of them as they're all great sounding analog delays.

[sparrow1133]

how does the Mimick sound with GAIN ? for solo type stuff ?

what does everyone think about the MIMICK vs. the MIMICK MOCK 2 ??

[andrewlikesguitar]

honestly, i wish a tap tempo would be standard for any delay pedal, but these all sound great.

[edadmartin]

the mimick seems to do it for me .clear and dynamic

[jas944]

Great demo- HBE > Malekko > MXR.

[Twevo40]

Love these videos. Andy, you are the man! Would love to see a low-mid gain bluesy overdrive comparison

[Zero300000]

awesome, I'm glad your doing these comparison videos. Keep them coming!

[tragictravistie]

carbon copy

[guitarrulesall]

I like the bottom end the carbon copy gets. Before this demo I did not know what analog delays sound like. Thank you so much for making such good demos and helping me out.

[sonicdeath2]

wow i like the mimic

[ClovisOGilead]

Mimik's the best! (And the more expensive, I think XD)

[two4motion]

Great comparison! Keep em coming!

[prompen3]

realy nice!!
