Carl Martin Quattro
I play in a band (see www.reflector.uk.com)and have been playing for 30 years. I have a Carl Martin Quattro Mk1 with tremolo. The Mark2 has a chorus rather than the tremolo but I wanted to play \"Riders on the Storm\" and \"Money\". The Quattro is great for me as I used various pedals and used up so many batteries and was about to buy a pedal board and multi 9v power supply etc then read about the Quattro in guitarist magazine. Bingo - it ticked all my boxes. I\'d been looking for something like the Quattro for years! You get 1) an award winning compressor, 2) A low gain Overdrive for blues 3) A high gain Overdrive for rock 4) a tremolo (Mk1) or chorus (Mk2) 5) echo/delay and 6) Tap Tempo for the echo/delay. This is a simple rugged unit that you simply plug in to the main supply as you would your amp. Plug in your guitar and off you go. dead easy and reliable. I lengthened the power lead so it reaches all the way to the back of the stage. No problem doing that it was easy. All the effects are simple but have excellent tone with no undue noise and the unit is so simple to use. I have the compressor set up as a lead boost so if I am on clean I get a nicely compressed clean boost and if I am on overdrive I get a nicely compressed overdrive boost. Perfect set up! Add the echo for creamy David Gilmour solos. I play SRV/Fleetwood Mac Blues and Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy/Led Zeppelin rock and this pedal is simply great. It has a loop to add extra effects after the overdrive but before the echo/tremolo but I\'ve not found the need to add anything extra except a wah between my guitar and the Quattro. I put dabs of Tip-Ex on my favourite settings so I can dial them in easily when setting up for a gig. Excellent pedal in every way and I only mark it down for the want of a longer power lead and a way to mark your favourite settings without using Tip-Ex! If it were stolen I\'d buy another one in an instant. My amp is now set only on clean with a touch of Reverb. Expensive? - Well, not really, when you get such tone, reliability and ease of use. This is a long term keeper for sure.
