• Gumb MIX: Adjusts the blend of the dry signal with the delayed signal. Turn clockwise for more delay effect.
• REGEN Knob: Controls the number of delay repeats. Higher settings produce more repeats.
• Gumb ZA ZAMIK: Sets the delay time. This knob works in conjunction with the Tap Tempo function.
• Gumb za hitrost: Adjusts the speed of the modulation effect when the MOD switch is engaged.
• Gumb WIDTH: Adjusts the intensity or depth of the modulation effect when the MOD switch is engaged.
• BRIGHT Switch: Toggles between the classic dark analog delay tone and a brighter, more articulate delay tone.
• TAP DIV Switch & Display: Selects the tap tempo subdivision (dotted 8ths, 8ths, triplets, 16ths). The display indicates the current subdivision.
• MOD stikalo: Engages or disengages the modulation effect on the delay repeats.
• TAP-BEAT Footswitch: Used to tap in the desired delay tempo. Can also be used to cycle through presets.
• Nožno stikalo EFEKTA: Engages or bypasses the delay effect.

3.2. Priključki na zadnji plošči

This image shows the rear panel of the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe pedal, highlighting the input, output, power, and expression pedal jacks.

• IN Jack: Connect your instrument or the output of a preceding effect pedal here.
• OUT Jack: Povežite to s svojim amplifier's input or the input of a subsequent effect pedal.
• POWER Jack: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (center negative) here.
• Vtičnica EXP: Connect an optional expression pedal for real-time control over various parameters.

4. Nastavitev

1. Napajalni priključek: Connect a 9-volt DC power adapter (center negative) to the POWER jack. The pedal can also be powered by a 9-volt battery (not included, access via bottom plate).
2. Avdio povezave:
   • Connect your guitar or the output of another pedal to the IN jack.
   • Connect the OUT jack to your amplifier's input or the input of the next pedal in your signal chain.
3. Ekspresijski pedal (neobvezno): For external control, connect an expression pedal to the EXP jack. Refer to the operating section for details on assigning functions.
4. Notranja stikala:
   • Line Level/Instrument Level Switch: Located inside the pedal. Set to "Instrument" for typical guitar setups (in front of amp) or "Line" for effects loops or studio use.
   • Dry Kill Switch: Also located inside. Engage for a "wet only" signal, useful for parallel effects loops or re-amping in a studio environment.

5. Upravljanje pedala

5.1. Basic Delay Operation

• Engage the effect by pressing the UČINEK footswitch. The blue LED will illuminate.
• Prilagodite MEŠAJ knob to set the balance between your dry signal and the delay repeats.
• Uporabite REGEN knob to control the number of repeats. Lower settings result in fewer repeats, while higher settings can lead to self-oscillation.
• The ZAMUDA knob sets the initial delay time.
• Preklopi na SVETEL switch to select between the darker, warmer original Carbon Copy tone and a brighter, more pronounced delay.

5.2. Tap Tempo Functionality

• To set the delay tempo, tap the TAP-BEAT footswitch two or more times in rhythm. The delay time will synchronize with your taps.
• Uporabite DODATEK DIV switch to select the desired subdivision for your tapped tempo. The LED display will show the selected subdivision (e.g., a single dot for 8ths, two dots for dotted 8ths, etc.).

5.3. Modulation Effects

• Engage the modulation by pressing the MOD switch. The blue LED next to the switch will illuminate.
• Prilagodite HITROST knob to control how fast the modulation oscillates.
• Prilagodite ŠIRINA knob to control the depth or intensity of the modulation.

5.4. Presets and Expression Pedal

• The Carbon Copy Deluxe features programmable presets. Consult the full manual for detailed instructions on saving and recalling your custom settings.
• An expression pedal connected to the EXP jack can be assigned to control various parameters in real-time, such as delay time, mix, or modulation speed.

6. Vzdrževanje

• Čiščenje: Za čiščenje zunanjosti pedala uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Izogibajte se abrazivnim čistilom ali topilom.
• Shranjevanje: Ko pedala ne uporabljate, ga shranjujte na hladnem in suhem mestu, stran od neposredne sončne svetlobe in ekstremnih temperatur.
• Zamenjava baterije: If using battery power, replace the 9-volt battery when the pedal's performance degrades or the power LED dims. To replace, remove the bottom plate screws.
• Skrb za kabel: Ensure all audio and power cables are in good condition to prevent signal loss or damage.

7. Odpravljanje težav

• Ni zvoka/šibek signal:
  • Check all cable connections (instrument to IN, OUT to amp).
  • Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and functioning, or the battery is fresh.
  • Verify the EFFECT footswitch is engaged (blue LED on).
  • Check the MIX knob setting; if set too low, the effect may be inaudible.
  • Ensure internal Line Level/Instrument Level switch is set appropriately for your setup.
• Neželen hrup/brnenje:
  • Use a high-quality, regulated 9V DC power supply.
  • Ensure all cables are properly shielded and not damaged.
  • Try isolating the pedal from other power sources or pedals that might introduce noise.
• Delay Not Syncing with Tap Tempo:
  • Ensure you are tapping the TAP-BEAT footswitch at least twice in a consistent rhythm.
  • Preverite DODATEK DIV setting to ensure the correct subdivision is selected.
