Which is a better guitar delay pedal? The Electro Harmonix #1 or the MXR Carbon Copy?
I currently own a roland cube 30x which has some delay capabilities. My guitar teacher recommend slap echo to color my tone plus I like to goof around with cool effects!
What about the Digidelay?
In my opinion the MXR Carbon Copy is the best. It sounds great, has great analog tone, and has a nice modulation feature that really enhances the sound. Oh, and it can self-oscillate.
If I remember correctly the EHX #1 is digital, which means longer delay time but the MXR CC I think sounds better.
and as for cool effects, i think you will find the carbon copy to be great for that.
But its up to you, so I would recommend going to your local guitar center or music store and trying them both out side by side.

What would be the essentials to have for guitar effects? And what are the best kinds?
I'd say a delay pedal, wah pedal, distortion, etc are all musts. What are the essential guitar effects to have and what are the best kinds?
I have an MXR carbon copy delay, Vox wah v865? MXR Distortion pedal, and ummm that's it.
I use separate stomp boxes..I don't care for the multi effects pedals.
My line up..in this order is....
MXR Dyna Comp
MXR Distortion +
Ibanez Tube Screamer
Boss Chorus
Boss Tremelo
Boss Digital Delay
I love Wah wahs..as long as their not over done...mainly because they're a great tone generator...you don't have to step on them all the time.
My old pots wah wah has gotten a bit nosiy lately, so I haven't been using it...but it should be first in any chain.
The overdrive and distortion pedals should usually be after your wah wah, followed by the time delay devices..like choruses, delays, tremelo's etc..., at the end of your chain.
If I could only have one pedal..it would be a tube screamer...followed by a delay, or reverb...IMHO.
Or course, the best effect, is practicing till your fingers bleed!!
Have fun!
