Carl Martin Dual Compressor Limiter Pedal

Product Description

The Carl Martin Dual Compressor Limiter Pedal delivers precise dynamic control with two independent compression channels, allowing players to switch instantly between different compression settings. Designed to balance volume, enhance sustain and preserve natural attack, it provides flexible compression for both live performance and studio use.

Each channel features dedicated COMP and LEVEL controls, allowing one setting to deliver subtle volume levelling while the other provides stronger compression, sustain or peak limiting. A shared THRESHOLD control determines how both channels respond to your playing, keeping the compression consistent and predictable.

The DRY blend control introduces parallel compression, mixing the unaffected signal with the compressed tone to retain pick attack, articulation and clarity. This allows players to add sustain and density without sacrificing the natural dynamics of their instrument.

An analogue circuit with internal 12V operation provides increased headroom, helping maintain clarity and stability with stronger input signals. Whether tightening clean rhythm parts, balancing fingerstyle passages or adding sustain to lead lines, the Dual Compressor Limiter offers responsive control without an overly compressed feel.
