The Carl Martin Compressor / Limiter pedal  Free Shipping !

The Carl Martin Compressor / Limiter has been specially developed to incorporate the same features and sonic clarity found in high quality professional studio compressors. To achieve this East Sound  incorporated a variable threshold, -variable compression ratio, -variable attack and 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.

Carl Martin Compressor / Limiter Controls - 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 you want to hear the compressor working with a crisp attack you should use slow times. If you require just a silent limiting you 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

Carl Martin PlexiTone Overdrive Pedal - Free Shipping !

The Carl Martin PlexiTone Overdrive, is as the name might indicate an unusual high gain three step rocket of an overdrive. The PlexiTone offers two step overdrive, the crunch channel and the high gain channel, on top of that it gives you an up to 20dB clean boost channel. The crunch channel goes from subtle overdrive to hard rock gain stage, the high gain channel goes from rock gain stages to absolutely meltdown, with loads of gain and low end, and all in a tone that brings the memory back to the early 80's high gain guitar hero's. The Plexi Tone has as most Carl Martin pedals do, a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply, to secure the necessary headroom that gives you great tone.  Say yes to PlexiTone !

Great vintage style and color in a heavy die cast case.  The Red Repeat is a 9 volt pedal with heavy duty bypass switching.
