Carl Martin Andy Timmons Signature

Andy Timmons, a long-time user and fan of the Carl Martin Compressor-Limiters, suggested to Carl to develop a Compressor/Limiter with two presets. This way, he had one preset for subtler rhythm parts and another preset with harder compression and sustain for other parts like solos, without needing to take up space on the board for two Compressor/Limiters. The result is a two-preset option for compression rate and level. To save knobs and make it as user-friendly as possible, the threshold and response settings for both presets are fixed, so the pedal only has six knobs, with threshold and response being 6mm miniature knobs. As a useful extra, Carl Martin has included a quarter-inch jack for remote switching of the presets (latching).

New is that the Carl Martin Andy Timmons Signature Compressor/Limiter is equipped with a newly developed DC/DC converter circuit. This allows the pedal to be powered internally with ±12V, which is necessary to achieve the same sound quality and headroom as the "old" Compressor/Limiter that uses a regular 9V DC 200mA power supply. The Carl Martin Andy Timmons Signature Compressor/Limiter has been designed to offer the same characteristics, sound clarity, low noise, and performance as optimal studio compressors/limiters.
