Carl started years back with the Compressor Limiter\u2026that big black hand-made-in-Denmark compressor that brought studio comps to the pedal board.\u00a0 The word got out that it was just too big for modern pedal boards, so Carl redesigned that pedal into a much smaller format, preset (or fixed) the Threshold and Response leaving just two knobs for Comp and Level. The feedback we got was overwhelming\u2026players were telling us the Comp Limiter had the same sonic clarity, the same headroom and the same quietness that the big studio comps had but was so quick and easy to use.\u00a0 Carl could have left it there, but that\u2019s not Carl!<\/p>\n
Welcome the Honey Comp, and it\u2019s as sweet as \u2026. well, you know \u2026. honey.\u00a0 This pedal is the same as the Comp Limiter in every way \u2026 same Gray anodized finish, same footprint and the same simplicity of use with one compression control and one level control. It is pretty much the perfect compressor, so what could Carl possible upgrade? Easy!\u00a0 Carl added a Dry volume which allows you parallel processing with three knobs!\u00a0 Parallel Processing is a studio technique which takes a heavily compressed signal (which through compression loses some dynamics if not all) and allows you to add a clean (Dry) signal on top replacing those dynamics giving your guitar three-dimensionality and allowing the guitar to cut through the mix.\u00a0 For those of you used to studio work, this is a very well-known technique, but usually too complex for a pedal board! The three knobs allow you to balance the Compressed signal with the Dry signal quickly and efficiently for a very pro sound!<\/p>\n
The Carl Martin Honey Comp incorporates the special CM developed DC\/DC converter circuitry. This enables us to run the pedal with +-12V internally, which is necessary, in order to maintain the same sonic quality and headroom as on the \u201cold\u201d Compressor\/Limiter, using a regular 9V DC 200mA external power supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
