Carl Martin TOD User Manual

The Tone knob on the TOD, is a high cut filter.
With the knob set at full clockwise, you enjoy the full
bandwidth of frequencies. 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 the gear
you are using. You might find that single coil pickups are
too bright, or that your humbuckers start lo lose some

definition as you crank up the overdrive....the Tone knob

will allow you to maintain or remove those upper
frequencies, and keep your tone and note articulation at
their best!

Our Bypass switch button; which switches the TOD
effect on or off, is an active buffered output so you don’t
loose any signal in long cable runs across the stage!
There is also a red LED which indicated whether the
effect is on or off.

Manual

The new Classic Series high gain overdrive TOD, was

originally designed as the Limited Edition Dizzy Drive....a

project which celebrated the reunion tour of top Danish touring
act Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. When the band was originally peaking in
the early 80`s, guitarist Tim Christensen was using a Boss
Turbo Overdrive into his Marshall Stack, so the plan was to
create an updated and improved version of Tim's original
sound. He required the same tonal quality but `phatter` and
with more headroom. There were only 500 original Dizzy
Drives built which sold out very quickly in Denmark and Japan,
so it seemed only right that we re-release the pedal in Classic

Yellow. As Carl said....`it would have been a shame to not

make this pedal available to everyone! The new Classic
Series TOD, is small, pedal-board friendly, and housed in a
die-cast case with 4 knobs and one switch.

The Level knob adjusts the overall output level of the TOD. By
adjusting this knob (in conjunction with the drive) 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 maximum overdrive,
with loads of sustain at full clockwise. By using the Level
control in conjunction with the Drive, you have complete control
of this classic 80's overdrive effect! Keep the Drive lower and
boost up the level for those intense edgy tones that make you
think your amp is on steroids, or crank up the drive and get lost
in loads of loads of overdrive that still seem to cut through live
and recorded mixes!

The Edge knob on the TOD, is a midrange/presence filter.
Using the edge knob in conjunction with the Tone knob gives
you even more control of your tone regardless of what gear
you are using. The edge knob allows you to increase or
decrease the midrange frequencies while adding or removing
presence. Turning the knob counter clockwise drops the
midrange to it's lowest parameter and removes most of the
presence.
As you turn the knob clockwise, you increase the presence and
shift the midrange frequencies higher. Depending on your
style of music, the midrange control can help you obtain that
ultimate overdrive tone!
