Carl Martin Octa-Switch III Switcher Pedal Overview
Carl Martin Octa-Switch III Switcher Pedal
The Carl Martin Octa-Switch lets you plug eight effects into its eight effects-loops so you can run your pedals without the tapdancing that affects so many guitarists. Carl Martin have added a blue LED for every effects loop used and for each Bank (so once you are programmed, when you step on Bank 6 you will see the lights of all the effects you have assigned to Bank 6 and the Bank 6 LED). That's not the only feature added to this 3rd incarnation, the ninth switch on the left side of the case is a BYPASS switch, letting you hear the pure signal from your guitar and amp. You can also use the Octa-Switch's two External Switching jacks to use two amplifiers and/or switch channels on those amps. There is a is a switchable buffered Mono input and a stereo Output, and the unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or by a regulated power supply. Carl Martin have included a fully comprehensive list on their website so you can set up all the effects bank on your Octa-Switch III.
