Just picked one of these up over the weekend and really digging it! I've wanted one of these forever, and had some credit on my GC account, so pulled the trigger.
I like it a lot more than the Walrus Audio ARP-87 I had over the summer when I put my little board together. I expected to pick up the Carbon Copy Deluxe but tried it against the Walrus in the store and wasn't really impressed. The Walrus seemed like it would be more versatile because it had different modes. But in reality, the tone never sat right with me, sounding stale and boring. Ended up using my HX Stomp delays until I purged most of my pedal gear.
The regular Carbon Copy seems like it has more character than the Deluxe, and way more character than the Walrus pedal did. I'm running it into the front of my Axe FX 3 and the "dark" repeats actually sit about perfect. It doesn't sound too dark or distorted or anything. The modulation sounds awesome, a lot like a Memory Man. Compared to the Fractal version of the CC, the real thing has a little more warmth and low end. Also, it's really neat as an analog pedal, you can get it to self-oscillate and do spaceship noises and everything, which I couldn't do with the Walrus.
Also another little thing, I like the switch on the MXR. It's a little softer click than the EHX and Friedman pedals I have.
I'm going to keep the little board together to run into my Cat 60 and if I ever try out another tube amp.
