Carl Martin AC Tone User Manual

Manual

The Tone knob on the AC-Tone, is a high cut filter.
With the knob set at full clockwise, you enjoy the
full bandwidth of frequencies, so as you turn the
knob counter clockwise, you start to filter out the
high frequencies. This allows you to fine tune your
tone regardless of which guitar/pickup you are
using. You might find at high gain settings that
reducing the highs will tighten up the sound, and at
lower gain settings, the high frequencies will add
some bite and crispness to your notes.

The new `single channel` AC-Tone, is a smaller pedal
board friendly, single channel version of the original
Pro-Series AC-Tone. It features 3 knobs and 1 switch
and has a slightly beefed up Gain section, but shares the
very same tone as its big sister!
The single AC-Tone also incorporates our new DC-DC
converter circuitry, so the pedal can be powered by a
regulated 9V Power Supply but will still operate on the
same +-12V level as the original AC powered AC-Tone.
This allows us to use the same high quality components
which provide the same tone and headroom that make
the CM Pro-Series pedals stand out from the rest!

The Level knob adjusts the overall level of the AC-Tone.
By adjusting this knob (in conjunction with the gain) you
can match or exceed the bypass signal for rhythm or
solo work.

The Drive knob adjusts the amount of overdrive, from
light crunch; at full counter-clockwise, to full, overdrive
with loads of sustain at full clockwise…. and everything
in between. Regardless of the amount of overdrive, the
AC-Tone always produces those great Brittish tones that
seem to cut right through the mix in both live and recor­ding sessions.

Our Bypass switch button; which switches the AC-Tone
on or off, is active buffered output so you don’t loose
any signal in long cables a cross stage!
