MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay pedal in green sparkle finish.

Because I have not tested it myself before listing, it is sold as photographed and described.

The M169 Carbon Copy is a fully analog delay pedal built around traditional bucket-brigade technology. It produces warm, progressively darker repeats associated with classic analog and tape-style echo sounds, with an adjustable delay range from approximately 20 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds.

The three main controls are Mix, Regen, and Delay. Mix adjusts the balance between the dry and delayed signals, Regen controls the number of repeats, and Delay adjusts the time between repeats. The pedal can produce anything from short slapback echoes and subtle ambience to long repeating delays and self-oscillating effects.

A separate Mod button adds modulation to the delayed signal, producing a gentle pitch movement similar to the instability or warble of an older tape echo. The modulation speed and width can also be adjusted using two internal trim potentiometers.

The signal path is fully analog and the pedal uses true hardwire bypass. It can be powered by a standard 9V battery or a compatible centre-negative 9V DC power supply.

The pedal is in very good cosmetic condition overall. The green sparkle enclosure presents very well, with only minor dust, extremely light surface signs, or storage marks potentially visible under direct light. The graphics, knobs, Mod button, LED lenses, metal footswitch, input and output sockets, power socket, baseplate, and screws all appear intact.

There is no Velcro or pedalboard adhesive attached to the underside.

The original MXR box, Quick Guide, MXR sticker, and accessory packet shown in the photographs are included. The box has considerable cosmetic storage wear, including scuffs, scratches, creasing, dents, edge wear, corner compression, surface rubbing, and marks on the printed label.
