The Carl Martin Headroom is the most simple to operate reverb pedal on the market…with a couple extras. This purely analogue ‘real spring’ reverb has two identical identical channels, each with tone and level controls to select the depth and tone of your reverb. This allows you to have a soft, small room reverb on Channel A and a much more dramatic and dark large-room reverb on Channel B (or vise versa) The two foot-controlled switches control which channel you are in, and whether you wish to bypass the effect completely. It is like having two separate reverbs in your amp!

Headroom

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!

Welcome to the Classic Optical Compressor: a 100% analog old-school compressor from the days where colouring was an important factor to the sound. The four controls (from left to right) are the Gain, which controls the ‘pre-glow’ of the optical circuit (the more you turn this up, the fatter the sound); Level, which controls the overall volume of the compressor; Compression, which controls how hard or soft the compression is, and the Attack control which takes the signal from transparent to outright total squeeze. A short time with this compressor will allow you to find some of those classic guitar sounds which may somehow have escaped you before.
