Multiple effects, True-Bypass Switching and large stages (with long cable runs) are some of your tone's greatest enemies... yes pedal-boards with all their advantages can become tone-thiefs! Long cable runs and multiple pedals using True-Bypass switching, tend to 'muddy' our sound and reduce the higher frequencies that help define our sound. Even wah pedals on their own can also be suspected of stealing certain frequencies from your tone. By plugging your guitar into Buff Deluxe (1) and out to your pedals, then from your pedals back into Buff Deluxe (2) and out to your amp, you can protect your tone. The results are stunning with your guitar coming back to life as if there was nothing between it and the amp. There is also a Mute switch which directs your signal to the Tuner Out....this allows us to remove even the tuner from the signal chain and mute the guitar for silent tuning!

Whether you are an international touring musician, or a weekend warrior, you should be very concerned with the power you are supplying to your pedals.....and because you are, the Carl Martin “DC Factory” Power Supply was designed just for you! With the constant addition of very 'power hungry' digital pedals on the market, we designed the DC Factory to address that very need. Highly powered and totally noise free, the DC Factory doesn't take up too much realestate on your pedalboard and literally weighs about 2/3 of a kilogram (1.5 lbs). To meet these goals, we had to forget about the standard toroidal transformers and design a fully digital switch mode power supply! The benefits go beyond ample power, the size and weight are reduced and most importantly, there is no radiation of hum to Wah pedals or certain analog drive pedals. Inside the attractive grey anodized housing are 5, 100% isolated and separated, 500 mA power supplies, four with two 9v DC output jacks, and 1 with two 12v DC output jacks. These 10 output jacks supply a massive 2500mA of pure clean power for your effects. Most digital pedals require somewhere between 300-400mA of power, and your standard analogue pedals somewhere around 20-50mA, so you have the option to run up to 5 analog pedals and 5 digital pedals simultaneously! On top of that, using the Current Doubler Cable, you can plug into 2 DC Outputs (as shown in the diagram) for 18v of power! The DC Factory is fine to use on any pedal board or on it's own, but it is also compatible with PedalTrain PT-VDL-MK (mounting brackets not included). Power supply set up... The DC Factory can power up to 5 digital pedals when you plug one of each into the five separated and isolated digital power supplies, and also 5 analogue effects when you plug them into the second jack in each of the 5 power supplies, as long as the power demand for the two pedals in each PSU does not exceed 500mA.

The world of music has changed and the world of guitar playing has changed along with it. It is becoming normal to not see the full guitar rigs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and instead just see guitar players with minimal systems to achieve their signature sounds. Introducing the Carl Martin Ampster ... from the company that has shone the single analog light down that deep digital tunnel. The Ampster, a single tube driven amp/speaker simulator that can either supplement your amp, or replace it. 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. What's 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! 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. There is a Mute Switch for obvious reasons and a Cabinet Switch with an LED Indicator light ( Red for a 2x12 Open Backed Cab, and Green for a 4x12 Closed Back Cab). 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 or powered speaker) Balanced DI (XLR output to go to a mixing or recording console), a Send and Return for those specific effects that shouldn't be in front of the amp, a Remote Input for use with digital or analog effect controllers like the Carl Martin Octaswitch “The Strip,” and your standard 9v 1A power input. It couldn't be simpler! 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, or by adjusting the Gain, that decidedly British Overdrive sound for which Carl Martin has become so well known. Our test players have fallen in love, telling us the Ampster reacts just like their standard amps, organic and responsive to your playing style or attack. In fact, the Ampster sounds just like a full size amp, but it fits on your pedalboard. Take a look at the videos ... we are certain you will want to take the Ampster for a test drive!

The Carl Martin Rock Bug is an Amp/Speaker Simulator and Headphone rehearsal unit that operates on a single 9v battery. Although this type of accessory is not new, we believe there is nothing on the market that feels as real or sounds as realistic as the Rock Bug! You simply get the feeling that you are playing through a good tube amp. Just plug your guitar (with or without pedals) into the unbalanced 1/4″ input, plug your favourite headphones into the unbalanced 1/4″ output and off you go! Adjust your instruments' volume with the Guitar knob, select an open cabinet or closed cabinet simulation with the mini-toggle switch, and wail away through the privacy of your headphones. If you like, use the AUX stereo inputs and add an MP3, CD or DAT player to the mix; adjust the Master volume for your music, blend in your guitar sounds with the Guitar volume, and either play along with your favourite cd's or add a personal touch to your pre-recorded backing tracks. Utilizing the balanced XLR output, you can connect your Rock Bug to a mixing console for recording, solo gigs accompanying the pre-recorded music with your live guitar, or as a DI for live performance when you are packing light, or your amp goes down. You might not think an Amp-Speaker Simulator is new, but with all these features, the Rock Bug is the little Danish-Swiss Army Knife that belongs in the pocket of every guitar-players gig-bag.

Ok, so you have eight effects pedals which you use regularly. You use various combinations of these pedals in various songs, but you are not good at tap dancing...or you are just clumsy and have (once or twice) stepped on the ultra tricked out-metalized-distortion pedal for the lead in your one ABBA cover. You have seen the digital effects controllers they use on the big stages, and have secretly yearned for one... even though you may never make the big stage. Enter Thomas Guldmann's Octa-switch II. Your eight effects plug into the eight effects-loops on the back of this unit (all true-bypass, impedance free, gold relays so you can run any of your pedals, new and old without problem), and then by turning on or off the numbered switches in each of eight DIP Bank switches, you determine which effects you wish to use simultaneously in each Bank. There is a blue LED for every effects loop used and for each Bank (so once you are programmed, when you step on Bank 6 you will see the lights of all the effects you have assigned to Bank 6 and the Bank 6 LED). The Octa-switch II has incorporated a couple new features as well! The ninth switch on the left side of the case is a BYPASS Switch...this allows you to completely bypass all eight pedals and enjoy only the unaffected sound of your amplifier. There are also two External Switching jacks which allow you to use two amplifiers and/or switch channels on those amps. Once you have all the Banks programmed, we recommend placing a piece of scotch or electrical tape over each DIP (...just to protect the switch from accidental switching, damage or floods...like beer). There is a buffered (or not...switchable) Mono input and a stereo Output, and the unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or by a regulated power supply...like the Big John or the Pro Power (both by Carl Martin).

Taiga Keyboard is an evolution of the award-winning Taiga synthesizer. Taiga gave users a boundary-smashing suite of unique modern Pittsburgh Modular analog synthesizer innovations. Now in Taiga Keyboard, that same powerful suite of tools acts as a foundation in this expression keyboard instrument. Exploring the larger keyboard format, spreading controls out, and adding larger knobs make sound sculpting while performing easier than ever. We've also added additional modulation sources, additional controls, a full-size 37 key premium aftertouch-enabled keybed, and a first-of-its-kind, modular expansion bay. Taiga Keyboard oscillators Waveforms generated by the three Taiga Keyboard oscillators stretch beyond the basic geometric shapes and sounds associated with analog snythesis. Taiga Keyboard waveforms pass through up to three proprietary, cascading waveshapers designed to precisely manipulate their symmetry and harmonic content. In addition, each oscillator includes a robust six-stage wave folder to add even more complexity and depth to the diverse sonic palate of Taiga Keyboard. Dedicated coarse and fine controls deliver maximum flexibility & control over the full range of each oscillator. The “Pittsburgh Filter” The Pittsburgh filter has defined the sound of Pittsburgh Modular from the moment it was introduced. A signature gummy and relaxed sound with no dead spots that has been tweaked to perfection. It offers a warm, smooth sweep through the full frequency range and a sweet resonance that does not roll off the low end. This generation of the Pittsburgh filter is specifically designed to ensure a remarkable interplay with Taiga Keyboard's oscillators. Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller Pittsburgh's new Dynamics technology imparts Taiga Keyboard with a uniquely organic depth and presence. By simultaneously managing both amplitude and harmonic content, the Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller expands beyond the one-dimensional VCA found in other synthesizers. It does this by utilizing new advancements from traditional low pass gates to add additional definition and dimension to the voice of Taiga Keyboard. When used in low pass gate mode, sounds shed harmonic content and become warmer as they decrease in volume. This mimics how sound waves react to their environment. Because of this connection, the Taiga Keyboard sounds more natural or complex compared to other instruments. Analog Echos Echos is a beautifully dark analog delay tuned to enhance the source material by repeating it over and over. Echos utilizes a pair of bucket brigade delay chips to produce a classic voltage-controllable analog delay effect that helps to place the sounds of Taiga Keyboard in a simulated environment. Open Architecture Taiga Keyboard has an internally defined signal path. Patch cables are not necessary to begin exploring. Attach a MIDI keyboard and plug the o.
