Meet the Carl Martin Andy Timmons Signature Compressor/Limiter, an essential tool for musicians seeking a versatile, user-friendly, and quality compression effect. Developed in collaboration with renowned guitarist Andy Timmons, this pedal offers an unparalleled sonic experience thanks to its unique features.

Timmons, a long-time fan of Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter, envisioned a pedal that could offer two presets – one for subtle rhythm parts, and another for harder compression and sustain for solos. The result is a two-preset option for Compression Rate and Level. To ensure user-friendliness, the Threshold and Response settings are fixed for both presets, leaving the pedal with only six knobs.

Furthermore, the newly developed DC/DC converter circuitry gives the pedal the same sonic quality and headroom as the old Compressor/Limiter, but with the added convenience of being able to run on a standard 9V DC 200mA power supply. This feature guarantees the pedal maintains its performance, clarity, and quietness, similar to top-notch studio compressor/limiters.
