Then, the signal goes back into the . This is the expander . Remember how we compressed the signal earlier? The expander does the opposite. It turns quiet signals down and loud signals up to restore your original dynamics.

However, the magic happens right after the buffer. You will see a network of capacitors and resistors that form a (a high-pass shelf). The Carbon Copy deliberately cuts bass and boosts treble before the delay chip. Mxr Carbon Copy Schematic

A BBD chip has a limited headroom. If you hit it with a hard pick attack, it will clip into ugly, splatty distortion. The compressor gently squashes your dynamics so the BBD sees a consistently strong, but not too strong, signal. Then, the signal goes back into the
