The world of music has changed and the world of guitar playing has changed along with it.\u00a0 It is becoming normal to not see the full guitar rigs of the 70\u2019s 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s, and just see guitar players with minimal systems to achieve their signature sounds.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Introducing the Carl Martin Ampster\u2026. from the company that has shone the single analog light down that deep digital tunnel.\u00a0 The Ampster, a single tube driven amp\/speaker simulator that can either supplement your amp, or replace it.\u00a0 A fully analog unit with controls that are the same as your amplifier with the addition of a mute switch, a speaker selection switch and a voicing switch.\u00a0 What\u2019s more important, the Ampster reacts to your playing in the same way your full size amp does, giving you the same organic feel with zero latency!\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ampster is housed in a solid metal box with the standard EQ (Bass Middle Treble), pre and post volume\/gain controls (Master & Gain) plus a Presence Control.\u00a0 There is a Mute Switch for obvious reasons and a Cabinet Switch with an LED Indicator light ( Red for a 2×12 Open Backed Cab, and Green for a 4×12 Closed Back Cab).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the back of the pedal you will find a Ground Lift and a Voicing Switch (a subtle low end cap controlled voicing adjustment). Input, Link (output to your amp) Balanced DI (XLR output to go to a mixing or recording console), a Send and Return for those specific effects that shouldn\u2019t be in front of the amp, a Remote Input (cabinet sim) for use with digital or analog effect controllers like the Carl Martin Octaswitch \u2018The Strip\u2019, and your standard 9v 1A power input. It couldn\u2019t be simpler!<\/p>\n

Plug your guitar straight in, or plug your pedal board into the input jack, choose your output, and open your ears to a surprisingly big round clean sound. By adjusting the Gain,\u00a0 you can get a hint of that decidedly British overdrive sound for which Carl Martin has become so well known, depending of course on the guitar and pickup configuration.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Ampster sounds just like a full size amp, but it fits on your pedalboard. Take a look at the videos, and then take the Ampster for a test drive!<\/p>\n
