MXR Phase 90 is the "original" sound to me, but there are just so many other companies making cool sounding stuff.
I did go in figuring I'll just buy a Carbon Copy (since I'd heard many demos, just wanted to play it myself), after the LGS guy prodded me for what I'd be using it with, and what for, he grabbed the CC, a Mooer Analog Delay, the Budda Samsara Delay, the CC, and the Lotus Golden Echo. I want an ultra short delay to thicken up my sound. The Mooer has a very noticeable 1st delay so it was out, the CC sounded good, but the delays were still very present and upfront. The Samsara has a tone control, and I could darken the delayed sound, but the Golden Echo was a step past that, in my desired effect and in that you could not get it to feedback even with near infinite delays.
Otherwise I want a Choad Blaster (almost on name alone!) from
Henretta Engineering.
Funny that both pedals that I want are built in MN.
