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.
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 dep
endent 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.
HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:
Sound Quality: 10
I've tried them all, This is the quietest floor compressor no doubt. It does it's job and is bone quiet to boot.
Sound Quality: 10
The sound is great on this unit, much better than the MXR, Ross, Boss pedals. You can get that squashed tone like the MXR but you have the versatility to get even more defined tone, way beyond the other effects. Not a peap, no noise here, can't even tell the thing is on. The pedal also make your distortion more cleaner, the notes just sing out.
Sound Quality: 10
Clean, clear, and unbelievable sustain, I can't get over how this pedal will keep things going. hard to explain, but it seems to brighten, bring out the notes better. i leave it on all the time, so the no-true-bypass is not a problem for me. no battery! it's quiet unless you turn up the gain too high, but there is no need for the gain to be up that high.
Overall Rating: 10
Best compressor out there by far. I'm SO glad I did not buy an overpriced saffron squeeze or an overpriced ross. If you want the top end compressor this is it. It cleans things up so well, that I hardly need my chorus for that, it's unreal and you can set it so that you can tell a compressor is on or not. |
