Carl Martin has introduced the Quattro, putting four of
the company's effects into one package.
The Quattro begins with Carl Martin's 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
Tremolo 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 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.
The Quattro features ultra quiet switching, an on-board regulated +/-12V power supply to allow for increased headroom, and low
output impedance which leaves your amp sounding exactly like your amp according to the company.
MSRP: $810. For more information, visit their web site at www.carlmartin.com. |
