Carl Martin Panama User Manual

Manual

Picture yourself on stage, in the middle of a set, going for that classic vintage

80's over-driven guitar sound.....vintage you say? Yes! Remember that

classic 80's overdrive is almost 40 years old! Anyway, every time you crank
up the OD, your tone gets a bit spongy and woofy...you know what I mean.

If only you had a way to....wait....you have the brand new Panama Overdrive

pedal from that mysterious Carl Martin dude, and it comes with a Damping
control. You switch over to the Panama, crank the Gain, increase the
damping and your distortion becomes even more aggressive, more cutting

and clear...just like....well you know. Decrease the damping, and your

distortion becomes deeper, thicker with more bass dynamics. In other
words you have an amazing overdrive pedal that you can customize on the
fly! And...it's analog!
The new Carl Martin Panama Overdrive, cool anodized case and that
awesome Carl Martin DC/DC converter circuitry which allows the pedal to
run with +-12V internally (this means better parts and better sound). Check
it out yourself, Gain Level and Tone controls along with the new Damping
control, head mounted input/outputs and 9V DC input which requires a
regular 9V 100mA external power supply and the new small footprint. Bigger
sound, bigger tone, all analog, all Carl Martin!

The Bypass footswitch engages or bypasses the pedal….turns
it on or off. The Blue LED will be on when the pedal is
engaged.

The Gain knob adjusts the amount of overdrive, from light
crunch; at full counter-clockwise, to full, fat overdrive with loads
of sustain at full clockwise…. and everything in between.
Regardless of the amount of overdrive, the Panama always
produces those great Brittish tones.

The Tone knob sets the voicing or colour of the
overdrive, from dark at full left turn to crystal bright at full right
turn.

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

Every time you crank up a high gain OD pedal, your tone gets
a bit spongy and woofy. The Panama Overdrive pedal comes
with a Damping control as you know from a many high gain
amps. You switch over to the Panama, crank the Gain,
increase the damping and your distortion becomes even more
aggressive, more cutting and clear. Decrease the damping,
and your distortion becomes deeper, thicker with more bass
dynamics.
