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.

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.
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 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.You can find more detailed information under manuals.

Compressor/Limiter

Der Acoustic GiG beginnt mit Carl Martins preisgekrönter Kompressor/Limiter-Schaltung. Individuelle Regler für Kompression und Pegel ermöglichen eine einfache und leichte Bedienung.

Als Nächstes folgt das bekannte und hochgeschätzte Vintage Style Echo mit Reglern für Pegel, Ton, Wiederholung und Tap-Tempo sowie dem „Dotted 8th Note“-Schalter für das schönste musikalische Echo.

Der Reverb ist ein neuer Analog/Digital-Hybrid, der nach dem Vorbild der für Gitarren so geeigneten Vintage-Stil-Federhallgeräte entwickelt wurde. Ein wunderschöner, schimmernder und dennoch warmer Nachhall mit dem zusätzlichen Bonus, dass er bei höheren Einstellungen zu einer Modulations-/Chorus-/Halltextur wird.

Der Boost ermöglicht es dir, mit einer kristallklaren Anhebung der Lautstärke von bis zu 15 dB für deine Soli durch den Mix zu schneiden. Der Ton wird nicht verändert und die Piezo-Tonabnehmer klingen nicht mehr so quakig!

Um ein Maximum an EQ-Shaping zu erreichen, war es notwendig, einen hochwertigen semiparametrischen EQ einzubauen. Wir haben diese Sektion direkt von Carl Martins berühmtem parametrischen 3-Band-Vorverstärker übernommen, mit dem sich der Ton deiner Gitarre und deines Tonabnehmers gezielt formen lässt.

Um potentielle Rückkopplungen zu vermeiden, hat sich in der Praxis die Verwendung eines Phaseninverter-Schaltkreises als sehr effizient erwiesen... daher verfügt der Acoustic GiG natürlich über einen Phase-Shift-Schalter. Um den Acoustic GiG zu vervollständigen, haben wir ein Stimmgerät und einen Mute-Schalter eingebaut.

The Acoustic GiG begins with Carl Martin’s award winning Compressor/Limiter circuit.
Individual controls for compression and level allow for simple and easy operation.

Next, is the well known and highly respected Vintage Style Echo with controls for level, tone, repeat and tap-tempo, plus the ‘Dotted 8th Note’ switch for the most beautiful musical echo.

The Reverb is a new Analogue/Digital Hybrid, tailored after the vintage-style spring reverbs so suitable for guitar. A beautiful, shimmering, yet warm reverb with the added bonus of becoming a more modulation/chorus/reverb texture at higher settings.

The Boost simply allows you to cut though the mix with a crystal clean volume increase of up to 15dB for your solos. No change in your tone, and no increased ‘quackiness’ from your piezo pickups!

To gain maximum EQ shaping, we found it necessary to include a high quality semi parametric EQ. We incorporated this section directly from Carl Martin’s famous 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp which allows for the specific shaping of tone from your guitar and pickup.

To avoid potential feedback, practice has show the use of a phase inverter circuitry to be very efficient… so of course the Acoustic GiG has a Phase Shift switch.

To complete the Acoustic GiG, we have incorporated a tuner and an overall mute switch.

The Carl Martin TremO´vibe is an analog “two in one” effect pedal consisting of a tremolo and a real vibrato, both with independent sets of speed and depth controls.
The tremolo effect works like a change in volume. The vibrato, which works as a change in tone (pitch modulation), is carefully designed to imitate the sound of a real tube vibrato.
Featuring two switches, The “on” switch allows you to engage or bypass the unit. The “select” switch allows you to switch between Tremolo and Vibrato.
The Carl Martin TremO´vibe is an excellent choice for Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, or any other electronic instrument, that requires the highest sonic clarity, maximum dynamic range and noise free performance.
The unit has a built in regulated power supply which enables us to design circuitry of the highest quality with maximum headroom.
