Carl Martin Paraloop Guitar Effects Pedal
Many guitarists find that, while an effects pedal can be helpful with creating and using innovative sounds, sometimes the natural sound of the instrument is compromised. Thanks to the Carl Martin Paraloop effects pedal, that digital sound can be controlled. The Paraloop is a single loop box with a mix control, designed for most amplifiers' serial loops. When used in conjunction with digital multi effects processors, the Carl Martin pedal brings out the guitar's natural analog tone. By simply running an effects pedal all wet (with effects engaged), then blending it with the Paraloop pedal's wet/dry control, the result is a more natural and blended tone, giving guitarists a balanced sound with added control over the effects. The Carl Martin Paraloop single loop effect pedal allows you to mix your dry analog tone with the digitally processed sounds of a multi effects processor, so that the guitar sounds more natural and less digitized.

Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal
Dimensions (Overall): 7.2 inches (L), 2.8 inches (H) x 4.4 inches (W) x 7.2 inches (D)Weight: 1.45 poundsEffect Type: CompressorWarranty: No Applicable Warranty. To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, The Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal was specially developed to incorporate the same features and sonic clarity found in high-quality professional studio compressors. To achieve this Carl Martin incorporates a variable threshold, compression ratio, and attack/release controls and of course, a gain level. General Guidelines on the use of the Compressor/Limiter: Threshold: Working anti clockwise, determines how much of the signal will be compressed. This is also dependent on how much signal is fed from the instrument. Comp: Working clockwise, determines how much compression is applied to the signal allowed by the threshold setting. Resp: Working clockwise, determines the attack/release times, going from slow to fast. In general, if want to hear the compressor working with a crisp attack should use slow times. If require silent limiting, should use fast times. Gain: Working clockwise, sets the overall gain. Busy: Indicates the amount of compression being applied, even in bypass mode. The brighter it gets, the more compression is being applied. The Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal is ruggedly built by hand in Denmark.

Carl Martin EchoTone Delay Guitar Effects Pedal
Dimensions (Overall): 10.0 inches (L), 2.75 inches (H) x 5.5 inches (W) x 10.0 inches (D)Weight: 2.25 poundsEffect Type: Delay and ReverbWarranty: No Applicable Warranty. To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, & bull; Input & bull; Output & bull; Trail switch & bull; Echo dial & bull; Feedback dialThe Carl Martin Echotone delay guitar effects pedal may just be the only delay pedal ever need. Imagine switching from a Manual time setting to a Tap time setting right at feet, so can play with favorite slap-back echo on rhythm to a Tap (tempo), and set echo for that massive lead or solo. Combine this echo flavoring by installing a chorus, flange or even distortion pedal in the insert loop, and the switchable trail function at bypass and get an echo effect pedal of unbelievable sound and dimension. The Carl Martin delay pedal's Echo switch activates or bypasses the Echotone, indicated by the LED on the unit being activated. Please note the Echotone is not true bypass, it features a high-quality buffered bypass, to ensure long cabling without loss. The delay pedal's Select switch lets choose between the manual time setting and the Tap Tempo function. This function allows to shift between two presets easily. The Tap Tempo lets set the delay time simply by tapping the desired tempo on the Tempo switch with foot (tap a minimum of two times or more as the Carl Martin EchoTone guitar pedal will always set the tempo after the last two taps). With the Manual time function chosen on the select switch set the desired delay time on the chicken-head knob. Turning it clockwise creates faster delay time, while turning it counterclockwise produces longer delay. The Carl Martin EchoTone pedal's Echo knob lets mix between dry and wet; the Feedback knob lets choose the amount of echo want; and the Tone knob lets adjust the voicing on the repeats, from dark position in full counterclockwise to light in full clockwise. The tone will only affect the repeats, not the overall sound from the guitar. With the delay pedal's Loop can insert an external effect device, like a chorus, phase, overdrive pedal, or EQ. With this can either color or modulate the echo in a multitude of different ways with really cool results. Once again, the sounds produced in the loop only work on the repeats, not on the overall tone coming from the guitar. Inserting a modulation effect into the loop requires to regulate the echo and feedback to lesser settings, as the feedback can go into oscillation if left in the same setting without modulation. The delay pedal's Trail switch lets guitarists choose whether want trails on or off when in bypass mode. Trails are the echo ringing out when bypass the effect pedal, in off position the effect stops immediately when bypassed. As with all the Danish built Carl Martin effects, the Echotone delay pedal comes in a low-profile housing, coated in a stunning off-white color, with a built-in 12v (+/-) regulated power supply. The Carl Martin Echotone's built-in power supply has an attached power wall plug cord, to run only on main power, not 9V battery or 9V adapter.

These effects can take tone from being extremely musical to sounding like are playing through a crushed tin can. Sound familiar? The Carl Martin Comp Limiter has been developed by Carl on the request of several musicians who wanted studio-quality compression in a user-friendly yet versatile, board-friendly pedal that can be tweaked on the fly. In order to save space and knobs, and to make this super dynamic pedal easy to use, Carl pre-set the Threshold and Response controls, leaving only the Compression and Level controls to control how much compression and where it sits in the mix. All the same quality, clarity and performance of a studio-level compressor, but in a small footprint, super easy format! Remember, the Comp Limiter also incorporates the special CM developed DC/DC converter circuitry. This enables the pedal to run with +-12V internally (which is necessary in order to maintain the same sonic quality and headroom), while still using a regular 9V DC 200mA external power supply. Cool two-tone anodized die-cast body which heavy duty switch and head mounted Input/Output/9v. Bigger sound, bigger tone, all analog, all Carl Martin!

Apart from Pete's slight modifications that give this new pedal a tighter bottom-end and slightly softer high frequencies, it is exactly the same gain structure as the High Gain setting on the original Pro-Series PlexiTone. It just plays better with different amps. The single Plexi also incorporates the new DC-DC converter circuitry, so the pedal can be powered by a regulated 9V Power Supply but will still operate on the same +-12V level as the original AC powered PlexiTone. This allows Carl Martin to use the same high quality components which provide the same tone and headroom that make the CM Pro-Series stand out from the rest!

Super simple but extremely versatile, the DC Drive features Level, Tone and Drive controls which do the obvious, but it also has the Reg/Fat switch. This is where the magic begins. In the Reg setting get a traditional overdrive sound that is very quiet and adds no color to tone. Dial in just enough to put an edge on sound or crank it right up to full saturation, the DC Drive is pleasantly musical. Now switch over to the Fat setting and get more — much more. There's more drive, more mids, more bass, more natural compression, more sustain, and who wouldn't want more of that? The Fat setting is darker, and much more modern, so get two distinct drives in one pedal. Only the clean boost was dropped from the original pedal in order to save space. Check out the new look DC Drive — cool, anodized, smaller footprint, die-cast case, head-mounted input/output/9v and that awesome Carl Martin DC/DC converter circuitry which allows the pedal to run with +-12V internally (this means better parts and better sound), all while being powered by a standard 9v 200mA power supply.

To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, & bull; Input 1 and 2 & bull; Output 1 and 2 & bull; Tuner out & bull; Mute footswitch & bull; LED On and Mute indicatorsThe Carl Martin Buff Deluxe boost pedal is designed to run in conjunction with large multiple effects boards with a lot of "true bypass" effects. The problem with "true bypass" is that it often still affects the instrument signal resulting in high note loss due the length of cables running from the guitar or bass to the pedal board and from board to amplifier. The Carl Martin Buff Deluxe works to avoid this loss of signal. The boost effect pedal has two buffers inside since many pedals have a tendency to drop high frequencies from the guitar signal, compromising the integrity of overall tone. The Buff Deluxe boost pedal is easy to use and effective. Simply run the guitar directly into the buffer, then out to the pedals. Run the last pedal in the chain back into the buffer, and then plug the buffer into amplifier. The result is stunning, with the guitar's original tone and feel intact. As an added bonus, the Carl Martin Buff Deluxe boost pedal's tuner out removes the tuner from the signal chain, while the mute switch provides silent and convenient guitar tuning so don't annoy the audience or anxious bandmates around .

To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, & bull; Bypass footswitch & bull; Gain control & bull; Level control & bull; Comp control & bull; Attack controlAn optical compressor performs gain reduction control via a light source into a photosensitive cell. As the light source gets brighter, the photo-sensitive cell sends a signal to reduce dynamic range, or what becomes a compressed signal. The Classic Opto Compressor pedal's four controls (from left to right) are the Gain, which controls the 'pre-glow' of the optical circuit (the more turn this up, the fatter the sound); Level, which controls the overall volume of the compressor; Compression, which controls how hard or soft the compression is; and the Attack control, which takes the signal from transparent to outright total squeeze. The Bypass footswitch engages or bypasses the pedal. The red LED will be on when the compressor pedal is engaged. The Gain knob adjusts how much of the guitar signal load the circuitry with. If set the knob at left the compressor will not be very effective, the more turn right the more effective the compressor becomes. The Carl Martin compression pedal can go from a very mild soft compression to really hard, beefed-up compression at full right. The gain knob will be interactive with the rest of the knobs, so the harder load the circuitry, the more effective the Comp knob gets. The Carl Martin pedal's Level knob adjusts the output level from the pedal to match clean sound. This is helpful when are finished setting the gain, comp, and attack knobs, for the comp effect want. The level knob can go from below unity level to several dB boost, so can actually use the Carl Martin Classic Opto-Comp as a boost sustain pedal, to make singing lead cut through to the audience. When have set the gain knob to the right amount of signal want to be compressed, set the amount or degree of compression on the Comp knob, going from nearly nothing at full left, to extreme hard compression at full right. The efficiency of the knob depends on how the gain and attack knobs are set. The Carl Martin Classic Opto compressor pedal's Attack knob adjusts and sets how fast the attack/release time shall be. At full left, the attack is fast, giving the compression a more neutral limiter presence. At full right, the compression is much more effective, providing a setting more suitable for fingerpicking style. The Carl MArtin compressor pedal comes in a solid die-cast housing with cool chicken-head knobs, CM color and graphics and a 9v battery compartment.

The result is a two-preset option for Compression Rate and Level. In order to save knobs and to be as userfriendly as possible, the Threshold and Response settings are fixed for both presets, leaving the pedal with only six knobs, the Threshold and Response being 6mm miniature knobs.Andy Timmons, long-time user and fan of the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter, suggested to Carl to create a Compressor/Limiter with two presets, so that he had a preset for more subtle rhythm parts, and a preset with more hard compression and sustain for other parts as solos without having to take up real-estate on the board for two Compressor/Limiters.

The Carl Martin Purple Moon uses special CM developed DC/DC converter circuitry that enables us to run the pedal with +-12V internally (which is necessary to maintain quality and headroom) while still powering the unit with a standard 9v external power supply.
