Imagine yourself on stage, in the middle of the set, and you're aiming for the classic 80s drive sound. Every time you pull up the drive, your tone gets a little spongy and rumbling... you know what we mean. If only there was a way to… and this is where the new Panama comes in!
Plug in the Panama, crank up the gain, dial in its Damping control, and suddenly the sizzle becomes more aggressive, with more bite and clarity. Turn down the Damping, and hear how your dist becomes deeper and thicker, with more dynamics in the bass. In other words - this is a great overdrive that you can adapt to your rig in real time. Completely analog, of course.
The Carl Martin Panama Overdrive boasts a stylish anodized chassis and Carl Martin's fantastic DC/DC conversion that allows the pedal to operate with +-12V internally (for better sound and dynamics), and still powered by a standard 9V adapter.
