Carl Martin Introduces New Panama Overdrive
New pedal offers up Eighties-style distortion.
Carl Martin has introduced the Panama Overdrive, a new pedal that offers up classic Eighties-style distortion tones.
The Panama boasts Gain, Level and Tone controls, as well as a fourth knob for Damping—turn that control up for more aggressive and cutting EVH-type sounds, or down for deeper, thicker distortion.
Other features include Carl Martin DC/DC converter circuitry, head mounted input/outputs and 9V DC input.
The Panama is available for $199.
