Members amarr1 Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 616. The Carbon Copy is way dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members delayed delay Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 It all depends on what you want... Carbon Copy = really dark, warbly, lo-fi repeats, and if you tweak the internal mod trimpots, you can find a nice warm modulation. 616 = on the brighter side of repeats, modulation can go from subtle to extreme. 2 totally different delays, and both sound awesome IMO. I loved the Carbon Copy, and would love to have a 616 some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike McLenison Posted September 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 Looks like the 616 is the way to go. I hope all the initial issues they had when they released the pedal has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheMercyRule Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 I bought my 616 a few months ago and havent had one issue. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike McLenison Posted September 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 Is the modulation on the 616 to the repeats only? I hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tattoedsailor Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 616! The level control was deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BHz_econo Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 I've never played the 616 but I hated the CC. It was just dark and bland to me. My Memory Toy and DE-7 sound 100X better than the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members devi Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 My Memory Toy. On a related note, I thought I'd be satisfied with a Memory Boy over the 616 (comparable features, etc).... but mother {censored}er if the 616 doesn't sound absolutely immaculate in comparison. Totally worth the extra money for the extra tonez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally worth the extra money for the extra tonez. Yep. I don't want to say the 616 is terribly bright, but the initial repeats are very clear for an analog delay. The modulation is ridiculously awesome as well. One feature people don't really talk about is how short you can make the repeats, which allow the 616 to double as a pretty nice chorus/vibrato. I liked the Carbon Copy a lot, but the Malekko beats it in every conceivable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members macadood Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 CC!!! i love mine for analog delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leaves Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 Both are great. Go for the 616 if you like DMM style "brightness" or the CC for warm lush sounds. Just going by price, I'd say the 616 is more bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cryptosonic Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 The modulation is on the repeats only, correct?Yea dude, the modulation only effects the repeats. Sorry, meant to answer this in my other post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jb1911 Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 I've had both at the same time. I now only have a 616. And a DMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 the 616 is not a "bright" delay at all not even close to the DMM... it's a solid delay thomuch better than the carbon copy, about a tie with the memory boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
