Used MXR Carbon Copy



The MXR Carbon Copy is easily one of the best analog delay pedals on the market right now. It was recently released to much love, garnering praise for its warm all analog tones. While pedals like the Boss Digital Delay are great for modeling delay sounds and incorporating different delay effects, they simply can't replicate the sound of a true analog delay. Until now, the analog delay market has been dominated by the Ibanez AD-9, but the MXR Carbon Copy offers some serious competition. The Carbon Copies have a street price of about $149.99, but we recently obtained a used model, which is tagged at $114.99. It's in excellent shape and looks like it's only been used lightly. There's no replacement for a warm analog delay, so if you've been looking to upgrade, this pedal is a great way to do it. Check out the MXR site for more info on this pedal.

Fulltone Catalyst


We just got in the new Fulltone Catalyst, a fuzz/distortion that can also give you a nice clean boost or overdrive. If you've played any of Fulltone's other pedals, you know that they're pretty much unmatched in terms of sound, tone, and reliability. This pedal is no different. I just plugged it in and was blown away by the sound. It's a powerful fuzz, but none of the tone of your guitar is lost, and it's incredibly responsive to changes in dynamics in your playing. Fulltone eliminated most of the problems usually associated with fuzzes, from the lack of mids to interaction issues with wah and modulation pedals. If you've always wanted a fuzz but these problems turned you off, try the Catalyst. It might be just the fuzz you're looking for. Check out the video below to see what this thing can do:



We also just got in the new Mini Deja Vibe 2, a great clone of a vintage Univibe. We have a great selection of other Fulltone pedals as well, including the ever-popular OCD, Full-Drive, Bass-Drive, '70, Octafuzz, Clyde, and a few others. Come on down and plug a few in.
