Product Description
Carl Martin Single Channel PlexiTone, Distortion pedal
- The Carl Martin Plexitone is a pedal that has been guaranteeing the legendary and unmatched sound of the early Plexis for some time. There have been regular attempts to do this
- with mixed results. The Carl Martin Plexitone has risen to the challenge and really sounds very authentic. The Single Channel Plexitone is a stripped down version - let's face it
- a real Plexi can almost only be tamed with the volume control on the guitar. Cheaper than its the big brother
- it is a true bargain compared to an old Plexi
- (and
- unlike an old Plexi
- it can also be appreciated at civil volumes!)
- Authentic Pro Series Plexi Tone Sound
- Designed in collaboration with Pete Thorn
- Controls for level Drive and sound
- Sturdy metal casing
- New DC-DC converter circuit makes the 9 volt operation in the use of high quality components of the 12 volt AC CM-Pro series possible
- Suitable power supply: Article #409939#
