Carl Martin Vintage (Yeah, right...)

These are my Carl Martin pedals, sold the rest so I'm down to this couple:

• DC Drive
• Crush Zone

The manufacturer deemed them as vintage grade but the voicings are contemporary; no time-traveling here. DC Drive is a self-boosting unit, it eliminates the use of another pedal to boost the drive servings as there is an integrated boost feature. The Crush Zone screams metal, it loves drive supplements because it's not (BOSS) Metal Zone grade; very crunchy but intense so don't expect any (BOSS) DS-1 voicings either.

The Carl Martin chaps are also serious about product packaging as seen above; a (tough) plastic & foam side guards make sure the pedal doesn't wobble in the box.

Carl Martin: DC Drive (Part 2)

I am liking my DC Drive:

• Great drive tones- from a mild, drive whiz to a full throttle bark- that's before the booster function kicks in
• The FAT mode adds to bass quite significantly but I hear much clarity in the overall mix

The manufacturer groups this pedal in its Vintage Series range but it's very contemporary in tone. Of course, you can tweak it to sound vintage-like but I'm not one to do so.

I'm not quite agreeable with the manufacturer's claim but I bought one anyway...
