Carl Martin PlexiTone Lo-gain User Manual

Manual

We all know that sometimes, less is more, so here we
present the Carl Martin Plexitone Lo-gain pedal.
Whether you want to push your amp’s natural overdrive
into the sweet spot, or give a little extra colour to your
tone which is definitely the British Black and Gold, the
Carl Martin Plexitone Lo-gain Pedal hits the mark.
The Carl Martin Plexitone Lo-gain will make single coils
sing, and give humbuckers extra punch. Stack it with
your other pedals to give you extra boost and smooth
out your overdrive, the Carl Martin Plexitone Lo-gain
gives your sound that Plexi character.
The Plexi Lo-gain 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 Plexi­Tone. This allows us to use the same high quality
components which provide the same tone and headroom
that make the CM Pro-Series stand out from the rest!

The Level knob adjusts the overall level of the PlexiTone
Lo-gain. 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

The Tone knob on the PlexiTone Lo-gain, 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.

light crunch; at full counter-clockwise, to full, fat over­drive with loads of sustain at full clockwise…. and
