Carl Martin Rock Bug

$189.00

FREE 2-3 Day Shipping!

in stock

Carl Martin Rock Bug  The Carl Martin Rock Bug is an Amp/Speaker Simulator and Headphone rehearsal unit that operates on a single 9v battery.  Although this type of accessory is not new, we believe there is nothing on the market that feels as real or sounds as realistic as the Rock Bug!  You simply get the feeling that you are playing through a good tube amp.  Just plug your guitar (with or without pedals) into the unbalanced ¼” input, plug your favourite headphones into the unbalanced ¼” output and off you go!  Adjust your instruments’ volume with the Guitar knob, select an open cabinet or closed cabinet simulation with the mini-toggle switch, and wail away through the privacy of your headphones.  If you like, use the AUX stereo inputs and add an MP3, CD or DAT player to the mix; adjust the Master volume for your music, blend in your guitar sounds with the Guitar volume, and either play along with your favourite cd’s or add a personal touch to your pre-recorded backing tracks.  Utilizing the balanced XLR output, you can connect your Rock Bug to a mixing console for recording, solo gigs accompanying the pre-recorded music with your live guitar, or as a DI for live performance when you are packing light, or your amp goes down.  You might not think an Amp-Speaker Simulator is new, but with all these features, the Rock Bug is the little Danish-Swiss Army Knife that belongs in the pocket of every guitar-players gig-bag!

Carl Martin Octaswitch

Carl Martin Octa-Switch  When Carl Martin decided to create a baby-brother for his world famous Combinator, the details of simplifying an already simple effect controller made his head hurt.  So Carl enlisted the help of Thomas Guldmann, and the Octa-switch was born.  The concept is simple....take your eight favourite effects pedals, plug them into the eight individual loops (all true-bypass gold relays) on the Octa-switch, and then designate what effects you want connected to each of 8 banks via the worlds simplest and smallest DIP switches located over top of each of the eight bank switches.  Thomas chose DIP switches because they are just eight individual on-off switches in a tiny tiny package.  So if your effects are plugged into Loops 1-8, you simply turn the DIP switch ‘on’ for each of the effects you want in Bank 1, and then Bank 2 etc up to Bank 8.  You can use one or all of the effects in each bank, and once you have designated a bank, do us both a favour and cover the DIP with a bit of tape to ensure nothing happens to the DIP switch when you are not looking......like an errant hand, or a flood of beer. The Octa-switch is mono-in and mono/stereo out, with a choice of a buffered signal or not. The unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or a regulated power supply like the Carl Martin Big John Power Supply, and is housed in an all metal case with heart-stopping (ok, well almost) graphics. So, the same basic options found in the digitally controlled units the famous guys are using, at a fraction of the cost! Carl’s head stopped hurting.....

Carl Martin 2Wah

Carl Martin 2Wah  Have you ever wanted two distinctly different vintage ‘wah’ sounds at your feet?  Perhaps you wished for a brighter wah for rhythm work and a deeper, darker wah for leads; and the ability to switch back and forth quickly?  Well, Carl Martin has been busy creating your wish; the 2 Wah.  This familiar looking, retro-styled pedal, has an all-metal casing with a non-slip foot pad.  It can be powered by 9v battery, but we always recommend using a regulated power supply (like the Carl Martin Big John Power Supply) for maximum headroom and effect.  Input is on the right and output on the left (remember your Wah should be the first pedal in your chain), and the standard effect on-off by stepping on the front of the rocker to engage the true bypass on-off switch.  There are two three-way mode switches on the front of the 2 Wah marked Low (red LED) and High (green LED).  These are connected to an on-off switch at the back of the pedal (step on back of rocker to engage this switch).  The three low and the three high settings are recreations of six of the most popular vintage wah sounds since the beginning of wah.  The Attack knob allows you to fine-tune exactly how you want the rocker to modulate your guitar signal.  Six different wah sounds, from Hendrix to Trower to Earth Wind & Fire and beyond, all in one pedal.  So why didn’t we call it the 6 Wah?  Well you would have to ask Carl......

Carl Martin Quattro  With classic guitar tone disappearing down the road of digital modeling amps and effects, Carl Martin is proud to introduce the Quattro... four of the most popular Carl Martin effects in one package.

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 tremolo 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.

Carl Martin Combinator 2

$685.30

FREE 2-3 Day Shipping!

in stock

Carl Martin Combinator 2  The Carl Martin Combinator 2 was designed and developed in response to many requests from guitar players who use lots of effects pedals, but are frustrated by having to press several footswitches in order to turn multiple pedals on and off.

The Combinator 2 is a non-midi programmable effects switching system that handles up to eight pedals.  Each pedal is connected to one of eight individual effects loops (two with stereo returns), and then assigned to one or more of 18 groups.  Pushing the program switch for a group simultaneously engages all of the pedals assigned to it.  So if, say, you have a fuzz, a wah, and a chorus assigned to program switch 1, pressing that switch will turn them all on or off.

The Combinator 2 features 18 programs,- tuner output,- master mute,- three external switches on separate jack output's.

Programming is a snap.  Just select bank and press one of the program buttons, press the soft buttons corresponding to the pedals you want to include, press store, and you're done.

The Combinator 2 also features a power supply, providing eight individual 9-volt taps, one for each pedal.

Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter

$269.50

FREE 2-3 Day Shipping!

in stock

Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter  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.

Carl Martin Bass Chorus

Availability: Ships within 2-3 business days

Carl Martin Bass Chorus  The Bass Chorus is the first in Carl Martin's new line of bass effects.  Although similar in function to the older Chorus XII, it is housed in the new wider/lower metal housing with 'chicken-head knobs' for adjustment.  Of course, the quality remains the same, and the new housing also encloses the regulated +/-12V power supply for maximum headroom and clarity.

So why design a special chorus just for bass? Most chorus effects in the marketplace are designed for guitar use and therefore are mid-range heavy.  The Bass Chorus has been extensively fine-tuned so that the full effect of the chorus is evident as far down as low B.

Like its' predecessor, the Bass Chorus is a dual stereo effects pedal with independent sets of speed and depth controls.  The 'Select' button allows you to use or bypass the effect and the 'On' button allows you to choose between your two chorus settings.  There is an LED to show the effect is on, and each chorus has its' own LED indicator which flashes at the speed setting.  An added feature with the Bass Chorus is found when switching from a slow chorus to a faster chorus, the effect speeds up slowly for that 'phat' vintage Leslie effect!

The Bass Chorus is the only choice for bass artists when you compare features….. Carl Martin quality, simplicity, flexibility and transparency.

Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp

$257.60

FREE 2-3 Day Shipping!

Availability: Ships within 2-3 business days

Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp  Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp has been specially developed for musicians who play ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VIOLIN, ACCORDIAN, DOUBLE BASS, etc.

These musicians often use combo amps and do not find the use of 19" rack equipment very practical.  Experience has shown us that these instruments often require a high quality EQ and balanced line driver. We have integrated those features into a handy stomp box format.

For maximum flexibility, we found it necessary to create a high quality 3 band semi-parametric EQ.

Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp works equally well for tweaking the sound of electric guitars, basses and other electronic instruments as well as for direct studio recordings.

The 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp has a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply which enables us to design circuitry of the highest quality with maximum headroom.
