Carl Martin Honey-Comp

Carl Martin Honey-Comp is a parallel compressor and based on one of the best compressor / limiters ever made by Carl Martin.

Carl started years back with the Compressor Limiter…that big black hand-made-in-Denmark compressor that brought studio comps to the pedal board. Carl redesigned that pedal into a much smaller format, preset (or fixed) the Threshold and Response.

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.

The three knobs allow you to balance the Compressed signal with the Dry signal quickly and efficiently for a very pro sound!The Carl Martin Honey Comp incorporates the special CM developed DC/DC converter circuitry.

The pedal runs 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 (sold separately).
