CM LICK BOX SIGNATURE GREG HOWE

Greg Howe's Lick Box

Carl Martin is proud to announce the release of the new Greg Howe Signature pedal
the Lick Box August 1st.

A pedal that combine Greg's unique High Gain and Crunch tones. 
So what is this crazy pedal? Well, at first glance it looks like many other Carl Martin pedals...
there is a High Gain channel which has loads of bottom end and nice crisp highs, 
a very dynamic Crunch channel which emphasises the mids with very little compression, 
and of course that famous 12db Boost channel that we are all so familiar with. So that's it? 
Ok, so the High Gain and Crunch channels were voiced to Greg's spec's, but it's still just a pedal
based on Greg Howe's own signature tones? 
Nope....underneath the simple cosmetics is a rethinking of how these channels work together. 
By placing the High Gain first in the chain, you allow the Crunch voicing to overrule the High Gain
while adding a few db to your volume.

Honey Comp 
Carl started years back with the Compressor Limiter…that big black hand-made-in-Denmark 
compressor that brought studio comps to the pedal board.  The word got out that it was 
just too big for modern pedal boards, so Carl redesigned that pedal into a much smaller 
format, preset (or fixed) the Threshold and Response leaving just two knobs for Comp and 
Level. The feedback we got was overwhelming…players were telling us the Comp Limiter had 
the same sonic clarity, the same headroom and the same quietness that the big studio comps 
had but was so quick and easy to use.  Carl could have left it there, but that’s not Carl!

Welcome the Honey Comp, and it’s as sweet as …. well, you know …. honey.  This pedal is the 
same as the Comp Limiter in every way … same Gray anodized finish, same footprint and the same 
simplicity of use with one compression control and one level control. It is pretty much the perfect 
compressor, so what could Carl possible upgrade? Easy!  Carl added a Dry volume which allows you 
parallel processing with three knobs!  Parallel Processing is a studio technique which takes a 
heavily compressed signal (which through compression loses some dynamics if not all) and allows 
you to add a clean (Dry) signal on top replacing those dynamics giving your guitar three-dimensionality 
and allowing the guitar to cut through the mix.  For those of you used to studio work, this is a very 
well-known technique, but usually too complex for a pedal board! The three knobs allow you to balance 
the Compressed signal with the Dry signal quickly and efficiently for a very pro sound!

The Carl Martin Honey Comp incorporates the special CM developed DC/DC converter circuitry. 
This enables us to run the pedal with +-12V internally, which is necessary, in order to maintain 
the same sonic quality and headroom as on the “old” Compressor/Limiter, using a regular 9V DC 200mA 
external power supply.
