The word got out that it was just too big for modern pedal boards, so Carl redesigned that pedal into a much smaller format, preset (or fixed) the Threshold and Response leaving just two knobs for Comp and Level. The feedback received was overwhelming…players were telling us the Comp Limiter had the same sonic clarity, the same headroom and the same quietness that the big studio comps had but was so quick and easy to use. Carl could have left it there, but that’s not Carl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome the Honey Comp, and it’s as sweet as …. well, you know …. honey. This pedal is the same as the Comp Limiter in every way … same Gray anodized finish, same footprint and the same simplicity of use with one compression control and one level control. It is pretty much the perfect compressor, so what could Carl possible upgrade? Easy! Carl added a Dry volume which allows you parallel processing with three knobs! Parallel Processing is a studio technique which takes a heavily compressed signal (which through compression loses some dynamics if not all) and allows you to add a clean (Dry) signal on top replacing those dynamics giving your guitar three-dimensionality and allowing the guitar to cut through the mix. For those of you used to studio work, this is a very well-known technique, but usually too complex for a pedal board! The three knobs allow you to balance the Compressed signal with the Dry signal quickly and efficiently for a very pro sound!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carl Martin Honey Comp incorporates the special CM developed DC\/DC converter circuitry. This enables us to run the pedal with +-12V internally, which is necessary, in order to maintain the same sonic quality and headroom as on the “old” Compressor\/Limiter, using a regular 9V DC 200mA external power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Martin","offers":[{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46184633106715,"sku":"CM0231","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/manual-honey-comp-1.jpg?v=1692044133"},{"product_id":"carl-martin-panama-overdrive-pedal-cm0225","title":"Carl Martin Panama Overdrive Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003ePicture yourself on stage, in the middle of a set, going for that classic vintage 80’s over-driven guitar sound…..vintage you say? Yes! Remember that classic 80’s overdrive is almost 40 years old! Anyway, every time you crank up the OD, your tone gets a bit spongy and woofy…you know what I mean. If only you had a way to….wait….you have the brand new Panama Overdrive pedal from that mysterious Carl Martin dude, and it comes with a Damping control. You switch over to the Panama, crank the Gain, increase the damping and your distortion becomes even more aggressive, more cutting and clear…just like….well you know. Decrease the damping, and your distortion becomes deeper, thicker with more bass dynamics. In other words you have an amazing overdrive pedal that you can customize on the fly! And…it’s analog!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Carl Martin Panama Overdrive, cool anodized case 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).

Players like Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Brian May etc, carved their signature sounds on stage and in the studio with these rigs, and in order to deal with the over-powering bottom end, they made use of 'The Treble Booster'. Treble Boosters add top end or higher frequencies to the guitar tone, and depending on how the amp is set up, some much desired overdrive. As much as companies like Dallas (Rangemaster) and Hornby Skewes (Treble Booster) were solving a bottom-end problem, they had also created a new sound pallette! Carl decided it was time to re-introduce this sound with the PlexiRanger! And leave it to Carl to add a gain channel along with the boost channel for a one-of -a-kind fx pedal!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Martin","offers":[{"title":"Pre-Owned | On Order","offer_id":46184633172251,"sku":"CM0026EBAYPRO","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46184633205019,"sku":"CM0026","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/medium_1024x_1ca4a9ff-a3cc-49bd-be37-dd8142b491f1.jpg?v=1692044132"},{"product_id":"carl-martin-ottawa-modulation-pedal-cm0212","title":"Carl Martin Ottawa Modulation Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor those of you from Canada, or who know anything about Canada outside of beavers, and maple syrup…. the capitol of the country is called Ottawa, and is full of politicians who do nothing but wah-wah-wah all day long (see where we are going with this?)

The Ampster, a single tube driven amp\/speaker simulator that can either supplement your amp, or replace it. A fully analog unit with controls that are the same as your amplifier with the addition of a mute switch, a speaker selection switch and a voicing switch. What’s more important, the Ampster reacts to your playing in the same way your full size amp does, giving you the same organic feel with zero latency!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ampster is housed in a solid metal box with the standard EQ (Bass Middle Treble), pre and post volume\/gain controls (Master \u0026amp; Gain) plus a Presence Control.

Input, Link (output to your amp) Balanced DI (XLR output to go to a mixing or recording console), a Send and Return for those specific effects that shouldn’t be in front of the amp, a Remote Input (cabinet sim) for use with digital or analog effect controllers like the Carl Martin Octaswitch ‘The Strip’, and your standard 9v 1A power input. It couldn’t be simpler!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug your guitar straight in, or plug your pedal board into the input jack, choose your output, and open your ears to a surprisingly big round clean sound. By adjusting the Gain, you can get a hint of that decidedly British Overdrive sound for which Carl Martin has become so well known, depending of course on the guitar and pickup configuartion. Carl Martin's test players have fallen in love, telling us the Ampster reacts just like their standard amps, organic and responsive to your playing style or attack. In fact, the Ampster sounds just like a full size amp, but it fits on your pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Martin","offers":[{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46184635728155,"sku":"AMPSTER","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/manual-ampster-1.jpg?v=1692044167"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/collections\/Carl_Martin.png?v=1691748982","url":"https:\/\/www.altomusic.com\/collections\/carl-martin.oembed","provider":"Alto Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
