Dunlop positioned the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe (M292-U) as an expanded iteration of the original Carbon Copy analog delay, adding tap tempo functionality and a Bright mode toggle to the core analog delay circuit. The unit sat above the standard Carbon Copy in MXR's delay lineup, offering greater flexibility for players who required tempo-locked repeats and tonal switching without leaving the analog signal path.
The pedal delivered delay times spanning 40 ms to 1200 ms and accepted tap tempo input with divisions covering dotted eighth, eighth, triplet, and sixteenth notes. An optional modulation section ran from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz. A Bright switch alternated between the warmer character associated with the original Carbon Copy and a brighter response centred on a 1.5 kHz, +4.5 dB boost with a 200 Hz, −3 dB cut. The circuit employed a 2:1 noise reduction ratio, achieved a noise floor of −96 dBV, and offered a maximum output level of +8 dBV. Input impedance was 1 MΩ and output impedance 1 kΩ. Bypass was true hardwire. The unit ran on a DC 9-volt supply, drawing 22 mA or 44 mA depending on operating state.
Owners sourcing a replacement power supply should confirm the correct polarity and current rating against those figures before connecting. For internal servicing, calibration, or switch replacement, a qualified guitar technician familiar with analog delay circuitry is the appropriate resource.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
