Carl Martin Announces 4 New Pedals

The PlexiTone, AC-Tone, TOD, and Bass Drive



Clifton, NJ (May 11, 2012) – PlexiTone, Single Channel version:
The new Carl Martin single channel version of popular PlexiTone in a small, board-friendly housing, it features three knobs and one switch, apart from a small modification with a bit more tight low-end and softer high-end to make it highly adaptive for a wide assortment of amps, similar to the high gain channel on the normal PlexiTone, This modification is made in association with artist Pete Thorn.
MSRP $269.00

AC-Tone, Single Channel version:
The new Carl Martin single channel AC-Tone is a smaller single channel version of the Pro Series AC-Tone in a small, board-friendly housing, it features three knobs and one switch, Though it has a bit more gain on tap is the tone exactly the same is the original big sister.
MSRP $269.00

Both the single PlexiTone and the AC-Tone incorporate the newly developed DC-DC converter circuitry. Instead of the normal main power cable/plug, it use a normal regulated 9V power supply. However, with the new CM converter the electronics, it still operates on the same +-12V as the usual PlexiTone so the tone and headroom unique to the Carl Martin Pro-Series is the same.

TOD
The new Carl Martin classic series high gain overdrive TOD (tube overdrive), was originally designed as a limited edition pedal Dizzy Drive, in celebration of the re-union tour of the Danish top act Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. The Dizzy Drive was originally sold as a limited run of 500 pieces in Denmark and Japan. Demand was so high we are pleased to re-introduce it as a new product.
MSRP $205.00

Bass Drive
The new Bass Drive features a real tube in the circuit. You can tweak the three-band EQ and enjoy the warm, slightly overdriven tone coming from the 12AX7 like the classic tube tone growl. This creates a full and fat tone and extra sustain that blends so beautifully in the mix. Features: 115-240V switch-able built in main power supply, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Level.
MSRP $389

I emailed Carl Martin and was told the release date "should be" some time in Sept. Don't hold yer breath though. They also told me last november it would be available in spring 2012. Woops. The price comments are ridiculous. The MSRP is the LIST price not the retail price! The original Plexitone has an MSRP of $369 but sells for $258 at MF. So i think we can assume the new PT will sell for around $160. That is a fair price. As for tone...quite honestly if you've ver played a plexitone you'd know it crushes the competition for AUTHENTIC marshall plexi tones. I had a boss power stack. It was boxy sounding garbage by comparison.

For that kind of $$$, buy a Wampler Plexi-Drive, Wampler Plexstortion or for far less a Lovepedal Super Lead or Boss Power Stack. Wow!

What, $269 for a single channel pedal when i can buy the original used for half of that price and get more out of it.what a joke!Looks like i would be paying for Pete Thorn`s 2 cents worth of input. What does C.M. think most musicians are rich??
