Frequently Asked Questions

The Carbon Copy is warmer and more saturated, lacking the Memory Man’s pristine, shimmering quality; it’s more about a vintage, slightly muddy tone.
No, it’s more complex than that; it influences both the repeat count and the overall decay, affecting the sustain and character of the repeats.
It’s generally reliable, but using a high-quality power supply, especially one with good regulation, is always recommended to avoid any potential noise or instability.
