Carl Martin Honey-comp Compressor

Carl Martin Honey-Comp Compressor

Welcome the Honey Comp,and it’s as sweet as .... well, you know .... honey. This pedal is the same as the Comp Limiter in every way ... 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! Carl added a Dry volume which allows you parallel processing with three knobs! 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. 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 withthe Dry signal quickly and efficiently for a very pro sound!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 “old” Compressor/Limiter, using a regular 9V DC 200mA external power supply.

• Studio-quality compressor in an ultra-compactpedal format
• Allows parallel compression(popular studio technique) with just 3 knobs
• Controls: Comp(ratio), Level (compressed signal level), Dry (uncompressed signal level)
• Mix signal levels of compressed & uncompressed signal (parallel compressiontechnique)
• Parallel compression allows to control dynamicsof your guitar without sounding compressed
• Parallel compression makesyour guitar tonecut-through-the-mixv
• Same circuitry, sonic clarity & headroom as Carl Martin's award-winning “Compressor / Limiter”
• Ideal for small pedalboards
• Top mounted Input & Output
• Runs on +/-12V internally for increased headroom
• Power requirement: 9V, 200mA
• Designed in Denmark
