The Carl Martin Purple Moon V2 has the Level Depth and Speed controls of the old model, and yes, it still has the silicon fuzz chip with Fuzz and Level controls that allow to add mind bending Fuzz to that sweeping vibe and yes, this is still the only analog, true bypass Vibe/Fuzz pedal that takes back to players like Hendrix, Trower, Gilmour or Anastasio — but it’s smaller and cooler. Carl eliminated the second speed control in order to save space and reduce the footprint, but he packaged the new Purple Moon in a two-toned, anodized die-cast case with head mounted Input/Output/9v and the same heavy duty bypass switch that he uses on every pedal. The Carl Martin Purple Moon uses special CM developed DC/DC converter circuitry that enables us to run the pedal with +-12V internally (which is necessary to maintain quality and headroom) while still powering the unit with a standard 9v external power supply.
