AC-Tone
The Carl Martin AC-Tone is a versatile and musical overdrive pedal that captures the essence of vintage British amplifier tones. Designed with a focus on rich, organic distortion and responsive dynamics, this pedal offers guitarists a unique blend of classic and contemporary overdrive sounds. At its core, the AC-Tone features two distinct overdrive channels, each with its own character and voice. The first channel delivers a smooth, slightly chimey breakup, reminiscent of the beloved TopBoost amps of the late 1960s. The second channel dials in a more saturated, mid-focused overdrive, perfect for cutting through the mix with authority. This dual-channel design allows players to seamlessly transition between rhythm and lead tones, or to blend the two channels for a truly custom sound. Complementing the overdrive channels is a dedicated clean boost circuit, capable of providing up to 20dB of gain. This boost can be used to push an already overdriven amplifier into rich, harmonically complex territory, or to simply add a touch of extra volume and presence to your clean tone. Constructed with the same attention to detail that has made Carl Martin pedals a staple among discerning guitarists, the AC-Tone features a robust, road-ready design and a built-in regulated power supply for optimal performance. Whether you're seeking vintage-inspired tones or a modern overdrive palette, the AC-Tone is a pedal that will inspire your creativity and enhance your playing.
