Carl Martin Delayla Pedal

Carl Martin Delayla Pedal Review



Carl Martin Delayla Pedal Feature

  • Incorporates a second delay tap TAP footswitch turns second tap on or off TAP knob controls the mix of main delay vs. second tap delay Vintage vibe of '50s and '60s tape units Authentic rock 'n roll slapback echo Built-in, regulated (+-12V) power supply
The Carl Martin DeLayla was designed and developed with one goal in mind: To create a superior analogue delay pedal, incorporating some of the same features used in vintage tape delay units. To achieve this, we have incorporated a second delay tap (similar to using two heads simultaneously on a tape delay). The TAP footswitch is used to turn the second tap on or off. The TAP knob controls the mix of main delay vs. second tap delay. Clockwise movement favours the second tap; counter clockwise favours the main delay. The result is a warm, smooth sound reminiscent of the vintage tape units used in the 50's and 60's. The DeLayla is able to capture one of the hardest sounds: that authentic rock 'n roll slapback echo that digital processors are unable to emulate. The unit also features a built in regulated (+-12V) power supply.

Carl Martin Blue Ranger Overdrive FX Pedal

Carl Martin Blue Ranger Overdrive FX Pedal Review



While staring at Stevie Ray's statue in Austin, Carl decided to add a Texas style overdrive to the Vintage lineup. Equally suited to single coils or humbuckers and with a True Bypass Switch, the Blue Ranger also incorporates a 'dual-clip' circuit to keep the sound un-muffled and clear at all levels. The overly simple controls (Level for overall volume, Gain for the amount of overdrive, and Tone for fine tuning your sound) quickly take you from big open Hendrix-y chords to saturated SRV type leads, and beyond! The Blue Ranger will actually cross the border into Fuzz with the Gain full out. Housed in the cool new diecast housing with mini-knobs and cool retro colour, Blue Ranger can be powered by a 9v battery, but we always recommend a regulated power supply for optimum response!

Carl Martin Classic Chorus Effects Pedal

Carl Martin Classic Chorus Effects Pedal Review



Carl Martin Classic Chorus Effects Pedal Feature

  • Chorus and Vibrato effects No compander circuitry Warm, full vintage tone Bypass switch Controls: Speed, depth, level Rate knob blends chorus and vibrato Diecast housing Retro purple color Power: 9V battery or regulated power supply
The Classic Chorus by Carl Martin, is not just another chorus pedal.  Yes it can be powered by either a 9V battery or a regulated 9V power supply; yes it has the solid diecast housing with the cool off-white chicken-head knobs and the cool CM graphics; yes it has that great CM quality bypass switching, and the LED’s to indicate operation; and yes when you plug into this pedal, you will get a chorus effect…..but….there is so much more!  Carl spent a year researching and developing  this pedal for the vintage guitar nut in all of us. Plug into the Classic Chorus, step on the Bypass switch to turn the effect on, adjust the speed and depth knobs to obtain your favorite chorus effect and then bring up the level to show off just how good you sound.  You will be amazed at how this pedal takes you back to the ‘day’ with it’s full, round, vintage chorus sound.  Now hang on to your hat and step on the Vibrato switch.  By adjusting the Rate knob clockwise you change your sound from Chorus to Vibrato with the full Vibrato effect achieved with the Rate and Depth knobs turned completely clockwise. (The Speed Depth and Level knobs are universal for both Chorus and Vibrato.)   You will notice a distinct drop in your highs, but Carl says this is intentional….it will keep your sound warmer and rounder, plus, when you use this effect with Distortion/Overdrives it won’t fizz out or die, you will just get that massive overdriven chorus/vibrato effect that you always dreamed of.
