Ich wage schwer zu bezweifeln, dass Jim Marshall jemals mit dem gigantischen Erfolg seines Verstärkers gerechnet hätte, den er aufgrund des ständigen Quengelns von damaligen Szenegrößen wie z. B. Pete Townsend einfach nur fertigte, indem er einen Fender Bassman 1:1 kopierte und in der Leistung aufblies. Man mag sich kaum verstellen, wie viele technische Zufälle im Spiel waren, dass ausgerechnet der gesättigte Endstufen-Sag den legendären Klang hervorbrachte, der bis zum heutigen Tag einer der ewigen Top 5 Vollröhrensounds bleibt und der schon unzählige Programmierer in den IR-Kopierabteilung in den Wahnsinn getrieben hat. Mit dem Carl Martin Single Channel PlexiTone wagt sich ein weiterer Recke ins Gefecht, um dem legendären, aber alles andere als pflegeleichten Klang näherzukommen.

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.

The single Plexi also incorporates our 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 us to use the same high quality components which provide the same tone and headroom that make the CM Pro-Series stand out from the rest!

Multiple effects, True-Bypass Switching and large stages (with long cable runs) are some of your tone’s greatest enemies….yes pedal-boards with all their advantages can become tone-thiefs!  Long cable runs and multiple pedals using True-Bypass switching, tend to ‘muddy’ our sound and reduce the higher frequencies that help define our sound.  Even wah pedals on their own can also be suspected of stealing certain frequencies from your tone.  By plugging your guitar into Buff de Luxe (1) and out to your pedals, then from your pedals back into Buff Deluxe (2) and out to your amp, you can protect your tone.  The results are stunning with your guitar coming back to life as if there was nothing between it and the amp.  There is also a Mute switch which directs your signal to the Tuner Out….this allows us to remove even the tuner from the signal chain and mute the guitar for silent tuning.

Buff Deluxe

Der Carl Martin Ottawa ist ein Envelope-Filter, der den Sound eines Wah-Pedals nachahmt, ohne dass Sie auf ein Wah-Pedal treten und diese Frequenzen manuell einstellen müssen.  Ein wirklich großartiges Pedal für Solos und Rhythmusarbeit, egal ob Sie auf die psychedelischen 60er Jahre oder die Disco-Ära der späteren 70er Jahre stehen, oder jede andere Musik, die diesen einzigartigen Sound erfordert.  Es gibt 3 Voreinstellungen: Hoch-, Band- und Tiefpassfilter, Einstellungen für Bandbreite und Attack sowie Pegel und Ton.

The Carl Martin Ottawa is an envelope filter that mimics the sound of your wah pedal without you having to step on a wah pedal and adjust those frequencies manually.  Really a great pedal for solo-ing and for rhythm work, whether you are into ‘those’ psychedelic 60’s, or the disco era of the later 70’s, or any other music that requires this unique sound.  There are 3 presets which are High, Band and Low Pass filters, adjustments for bandwidth and attack as well as level and tone.
