The new `single channel` Carl Martin PlexiTone was designed in association with Pete Thorn, and is housed in a small pedal-board friendly housing with 3 knobs and 1 switch. 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.

PlexiTone Single

The Carl Martin Octaswitch, already a legend in the guitar effect switching world, is on it's third evolution since the original.  These all analog units have received rave reviews throughout the guitar world and awards from companies like Premier Guitar.  The fourth version, named 'The Strip' is the smallest and most advanced, taking all the technology used in the first three and adding some amazing features that make the 'Octaswitch The Strip' the most versatile and simplest all-analog switching pedal on the market!

Octa-Switch The Strip

Ok, so you have eight effects pedals which you use regularly. You use various combinations of these pedals in various songs, but you are not good at tap dancing…or you are just clumsy and have (once or twice) stepped on the ultra tricked out-metalized-distortion pedal for the lead in your one ABBA cover. You have seen the digital effects controllers they use on the big stages, and have secretly yearned for one… even though you may never make the big stage. Enter Thomas Guldmann’s Octa-switch MK3. Your eight effects plug into the eight effects-loops on the back of this unit (all true-bypass, impedance free, gold relays so you can run any of your pedals, new and old without problem), and then by turning on or off the numbered switches in each of eight DIP Bank switches, you determine which effects you wish to use simultaneously in each Bank. There is a blue LED for every effects loop used and for each Bank (so once you are programmed, when you step on Bank 6 you will see the lights of all the effects you have assigned to Bank 6 and the Bank 6 LED). The Octa-switch MK3 has incorporated a couple new features as well! The ninth switch on the left side of the case is a BYPASS Switch….this allows you to completely bypass all eight pedals and enjoy only the unaffected sound of your amplifier. There are also two External Switching jacks which allow you to use two amplifiers and/or switch channels on those amps. Once you have all the Banks programmed, we recommend placing a piece of scotch or electrical tape over each DIP (….just to protect the switch from accidental switching, damage or floods….like beer). There is a buffered (or not….switchable) Mono input and a stereo Output, and the unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or by a regulated power supply…like the PowerJack or the Pro Power (both by Carl Martin).

Octa-Switch MK3

Der neue einkanalige Carl Martin PlexiTone wurde zusammen mit Pete Thorn designt und ist in einem kleinen, Pedalboard-freundlichen Gehäuse mit 3 Reglern und einem Fußschalter untergebracht. Außer Pete’s leichten Modifikationen, welche diesem neuen Pedal ein tighteres Low-End und weichere Höhenfrequenzen verschaffen, wird hier die exakt gleiche Gain-Struktur geboten wie bei den High-Gain Einstellung des original Pro-Series PlexiTone… es spielt sich lediglich besser mit verschiedenen Amps. Der Single PlexiTone beinhaltet außerdem die neue DC-DC Konverter-Schaltung, wodurch das Pedal mit einem 9V DC Adapter betrieben werden kann und dennoch auf dem gleichen +-12V Level arbeitet wie der originale AC betriebene PlexiTone. Dies erlaubt die Verwendung der gleichen hochqualitativen Komponenten, die den herausragenden Ton und Headroom erzeugen für den der originale Pro-Series PlexiTone so berühmt ist!

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 for the use the same high quality components which provide the same tone and headroom that make the CM Pro-Series stand out from the rest!
