Carl Martin has entered the effects pedal market with the Dual Compressor Limiter, a new analog dynamics unit designed to offer guitarists two independently adjustable compression setups within a single enclosure. According to a report by Premier Guitar, the manufacturer positions this product as a solution for players seeking consistent dynamics and extended sustain without compromising pick attack or tonal clarity. The pedal allows users to transition from subtle leveling to firm peak limiting instantly via an onboard footswitch or remote input.
Premier Guitar details that the unit features dedicated COMP and LEVEL controls for each preset, anchored by a shared THRESHOLD control to ensure response consistency. A key market differentiator highlighted in the report is the global DRY control, which facilitates parallel compression by blending the processed signal with the untouched instrument source. This architecture aims to preserve natural transients while adding body. The device operates internally at plus-or-minus 12 volts derived from a standard 9-volt DC supply to maximize headroom. Carl Martin has set the street price at $199, making it available to retailers and consumers immediately through its distribution channels.
