Carl Martin Tuner

Carl Martin has a fresh, sleek tuner in their offerings. The new CM tuner offers 2 modes- standard or strobe. The MUTE switch you see above means you can have your tuning moments muted & rely just on the visual read-outs or hear yourself in action if that makes you happier while making sure your instrument is not out of tune. Neat.

Audio clip1: Power Stack + reinforcements

   

How beneficial can a drive type booster + chorus be to your primary distortion unit? I've linked up my Ibanez Bass Tubscreamer & Carl Martin's Classic Chorus to my BOSS Power Stack as above. The amp in use is my Blackheart Killer Ant, the guitar- my Ibanez RG471. I'm using my bridge pickup exclusively; it's a Duncan JB. Listen to the above set up in action: power stack ibanez rg471

Carl Martin: Classic Chorus (Ver II)

I currently own 2 Carl Martin Classic Series pedals; the DC Drive & Crush Zone. I had considered the the Classic Chorus but decided against buying another in the trapezium outline housing; it's space consuming.

So when the manufacturer offer this series of pedals in the more squarish, trimmed format, I didn't hesitate to get one. Being a distortion inclined person, I have a particular preference for a chorus unit- it shouldn't intrude into the distortion, just enough to expand the tone's width, ie. making it fatter. I've tested many chorus units, the ones which work well & don't intrude into distorted tones too much are the vintage voiced units, one of which is the Carl Martin version you see above. The modern chorus voicing can be too lush even at minimum settings & the flanging/ vibrato effect would be intrusive & magnified by distortion; I get bothered by this too easily.
