Anyone else use this or has used this? Ive had one for the past two years and have loved it. Scored it off of a friend for about $105.
Curios about alllllllllll the keeley hype I now have a friends 4 knob keely sitting next to the car martin on my board just to mess around with. Oh, and I mean the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter and not the Opto compressor. Ive been messing with them side by side and I have to say that in terms of compression they both can do the very subtle compression thing very well, which is what I like. The one big difference is that the Keeley added a little darkness/fattness to the tone and the Car Martin did not color the tone one bit. Im not saying that I didnt like the keely. The added fattyness actually was a very desireable sound, but what I liked about the car martin mainly was its transparancy. It literally was my sound, slightly compressed with more sustain.
Just curious if anyone else plays the Compressor/ Limiter by Carl Martin.
For what its worth, I play a '92 American Strat Plus, with Fralin Vintage hots + Treble Bleed Mod into a port city pearl head with a 1x12 OS Port City Wave Cab loaded with a celestion Gold.
Effects Are, in order - Polytune - JHS Little Black Buffer - Carl Martin Compressor/limiter - Cusack Screamer V1 - Xotic BB Preamp - Fulldrive 2 - Timefactor - Fulltone Supa Trem...
