EHX Memory Boy or MXR Carbon Copy???

josh

Hi guys
I have a very difficult choice 2 make now & I wanted your opinions. I need to get myself a delay pedal & I am stuck between the EHX Memory Boy & the MXR Carbon Copy. They are both ANALOG delays which is great. But the MXR costs R1400 if I import it & there is a guy in Joburg who is selling a Memory Boy for R700. So i sent him an email to see if he could send it down to cape town(where I live). So now I am just waiting for a reply. I need your guys's opinions please!!

Value wise, Memory Boy, but I am not a fan of most EH pedals and know for a fact that the Carbon Copy sounds great. It's up to you to decide if it's worth the extra R700 for better tone and fewer features.

I had a carbon Copy, and a ehx memory boy, well I have the memory boy still.....
You can get all the sounds out of the memory boy, that the CC gives + a little more......
SOme will claim the CC to be a bit brighter but you wont really notice that as well as its not always the best thing......

The CC also feedsback very easly....... the memory by doe not, the memory boy also has much more control on the modulation....
For R700 I would go with the memory boy...... Also take note that imprting right now is dangerous duty........ IF you dont liek the memory boy sell it again and then try something else......

Definitely the MB, it has more buttons and switches! ?

Ive got and use the Memory Toy from EHX. Only downside, apparently is a slight volume increase which I havent really noticed.
