Members Vatican Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 They seem extremely well made to me, especially with the added headroom that most of their pedals offer. The pedals I've tried are most excellent. I know their delay took some heat for being too bright, and their newer delay has an analog clean sound mixed with digital echoes, which apparently sound good. And I know they're not true bypass pedals either. I see that their pedals don't necessarily hold resale value well, and I was wondering if this was in part due to high European prices relative to the dollar coupled with distance from Denmark, which makes repair shipping more expensive. Because I can't find anything at all to fault in these pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eddie Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 I had not seen a signature filled with so much ignorance... Anyway, I've used many CM pedals and liked them all. Some do not run on batteries and were a bit large, so that was my only complaint. Other than that, they never gave me problems and sounded good.

Members Hawkeye17 Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 I use a Red Repeat and it sounds killer, especially given the price. It's not True Bypass but CM pedals have VERY good buffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Karma1 Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 My experience with Carl Martin was pretty disappointing. After buying a number of lower priced compressor pedals and not getting the sound I wanted, I decided to shell out some bucks and get a Carl Martin. Unfortunately, when I plugged it in at home, it was picking up a spanish-speaking radio station. I took it to a tech and he tried everything he could to block the RFI, but no luck. The strange thing is that I have lots of gear in my studio, including a lot of cheaper stuff, and nothing else picks up radio interference. I contacted the company and I got a prompt response, but all they could say was that it happens in a small percentage of cases. I'm not knocking the company - I know they make some great products, but unfortunately, mine wasn't so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rid Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 ^could we get the story...just one more time...heheIt is just unlucky that it did so, I had radio all over in the late 80's and early 90's when I was practising with my bands back then....I could tune into Radio Moscow and Luxemburg with my volume knob, then I could switch guitars and it was gone, radiowaves are a pain!Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
