The ADG-1 does appeal. Probably a bit too expensive atm.
Have just been looking at the Xvive Echoman and Pigtronix Constellator. Interesting that they are both MN3005. Xvive is Xvive and the Pigtronig are production replicas of the mighty Panasonic MN3005 Bucket Brigade, which are probably also xvive I'm guessing.
The control layout is exactly the same so I assume they are the same pedal. Tempted on the echoman, should have got one at £50, they are £100 now and I don't love mini pedals, but it ticks a few boxes.
I really like the Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail. It has mod, with rate/depth controls on top, similar in sound to the standard Carbon Copy. However, it can also run at 18V (and says so on the case itself) which brightens the sound and gives it more headroom. Also uses up an otherwise unused slot on my power supply!
What's permanently on my board, and which is my stock answer for a great analog (sounding) delay, is the Strymon Brigadier. Superb sounding pedal, can dial in darkness or brightness with no hiss - although you can add some of that back in too if you feel it's an important part of the sound - and does everything from very short to very, very long delay times. And it has tap tempo, of course.
The Vapour Trail is so underrated and one of the best ‘analogue’ delays.

However, I wonder if they changed it at some point? I liked the CC so much I bought a CC Deluxe when it came out a couple of years later and pretty much instantly regretted it - I couldn't get it to sound the same at all, it was muffled, unless you switched in the bright switch, when it became noisy instead, and it had a very narrow range of usable sounds.
Or it could just be a personal taste thing. I do have recordings of me with the CC that don't sound muffled at all to me.
CC are just on the darker side and some people want delays to melt into the background more. I think that’s what I like generally, but shorter delay I want the opposite, so effectively I probably need separate pedals, or just use the Helix delays for the longer stuff.
I’m thinking Midi would work pretty well having the HX Stomp, I could make use of the presets.
Either that or I have a £550 slapback echo.
I will probably still buy one when they're readily available though..
