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 we incorporated a variable threshold, -variable compression ratio, -variable attack and release controls and of course, a gain level.

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 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.

A vintage style, high-gain/distortion pedal using the same high quality components as its Carl Martin cousins, the Crush Zone provides everything from a slight edge to your tone, to mind-blowing distortion. Adjust the cool chicken-head knobs for level and distortion, and then refine your sound using the tone control. Crush Zone is housed in heavy die cast case with 9 volt battery compartment and heavy-duty bypass switching.

The Carl Martin DeLayla XL is designed and developed with one goal in mind: To create a superior delay pedal, with the same sonic quality as the original DeLayla but with new extended features, yet incorporating some of the same features used in vintage tape delay units. To achieve this, we have incorporated a second delay head (slapback) (similar to using two heads simultaneously on a tape delay). The SLAPBACK footswitch is used to turn the second delay head on or off. The SLAPBACK knob controls the mix of main delay vs. second delay head. Clockwise movement favors the second delay head; Counter clockwise favors the main delay. The SB-TRIM knob fine tune the second delay head's time setting compared to the original delay head, by this it's possible to create different delay patterns, going from strict slapback to way offbeat. The TEMPO tap is a real time tempo learn function, allowing you to foot tap the delay time to match the right beat of the song. The Carl Martin DeLayla XL also features a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply. The result is a warm, smooth sound reminiscent of the vintage tape units used in the 50's and 60's, combined with modern features. The Carl Martin DeLayla XL is able to capture one of the hardest sounds: That authentic rock'n roll slapback echo, that digital processors are unable to emulate.

The anniversary Hot Drive’n Boost MK3, featuring a complete new overdrive design that gives a even more authentic “tube” simulating overdrive than the original HDB, which is know to be one of the best.  The new HDB MK3 sound like a tweaked up quality tube amp, and on contrary nearly every other overdrive pedal does it not change the original tone, has no midrange pronouncement, no low end cut of, no high end cut of, all that gives a tone of a clear brilliant tube drive of it’s own.  FEATURING: Built in mains power supply, Two in on functions (overdrive & boost), and Blue high bright LED.  With the BOOST feature the Hot Drive'n Boost MK3 is a "TWO IN ONE" pedal.  That allows you to get that extra "kick" (up to 20db) for solos to really stand out.  The Hot Drive'n Boost MK3 has a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply.  This enables us to design circuitry of the highest quality with maximum headroom.  The low output impedance insures a lo noise connection, and gives improved working conditions for the guitar amp.

The Carl Martin PlexiTone, 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 PlexiTone has as most Carl Martin pedals a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply, to secure the necessary headroom that gives you the great tone.

The Quattro begins with Carl Martin's award winning Compressor/Limiter circuit with single controls for compression and level.  The Two-Channel Overdrive has switches for on-off, and for selecting between the crunch and high-gain stages, and controls for tone and level.  In classic fashion, the Vintage Chorus has a speed and a depth control.  Finally, the vintage style Echo has controls for level, tone, repeat and tap-tempo, as well as an on-off switch.  No hard to read screens, no menus to scroll through, just set-up and play.  There is no simpler multi-effect on the market!  There is also an effects loop built in between the overdrive and chorus effects for that special drive or fuzz pedal that is part of your sound.

You also get that famous Carl Martin build quality, ultra quiet switching, a high quality on-board regulated +/-12V power supply which allows us to use the finest components allowing the greatest amount of headroom, and low output impedance which leaves your amp sounding exactly like your amp.

Carl Martin, maximizing transparency, flexibility, simplicity and quality in one package…The Quattro.

Based on the infamous Carl Martin DeLayla, the 'Red Repeat' provides an affordable 600 milliseconds of delay as well as a simply controlled echo. Add just a touch of delay to thicken your sound, or push the echo circuit past 12o'clock where the unit begins to self-oscillate, just like an old analog delay. Great vintage style and colour in a heavy diecast, 9 volt pedal with heavy duty bypass switching.

Remember the great tremolo tones of the 50's and 60's? The 'Surf Trem' gets its trem circuit from the CM Tremovibe. With just a 'speed' and 'depth' control (just like our old tube amp) those classic tones are easy to achieve. The retro heavy diecast case with 9 volt battery compartment, cool colour and heavy duty bypass switch, make the 'Surf Trem' a must have in every pedal box.

Built from the ground up with the best available components, the MXR Custom Shop GT-OD Overdrive pedal creates smooth, warm, and classic overdrive without excess noise or tone coloring. The simple controls make it easy to dial in a great tone quickly—from crunchy rhythm tone with chord clarity—to sparkly and harmonic-rich lead tones with tons of sustain. You won't find an overdrive that is more organic, responsive or open sounding.

• A traditional overdrive that provides powerful, cutting, transparent overdrive tone with great definition
• Adds sustain and gain without adding excess noise
• Place in front of an overdriven amp for screaming lead tones
• Indestructible die-cast housing

The new Distortion III joins the ranks of MXR classics—such as the Phase 90 and Dyna Comp—setting a new benchmark in distortion tone and quality.
