Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal

The Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal was specially developed to incorporate the same features and sonic clarity found in high-quality professional studio compressors. To achieve this Carl Martin incorporates a variable threshold, compression ratio, and attack/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 want to hear the compressor working with a crisp attack should use slow times. If require silent limiting, 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. The Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter Pedal is ruggedly built by hand in Denmark.
