Der OctaSwitch MKII ist ein 8-fach Looper/Switcher, bei die Effektpedale in die acht Effekt-Loops auf der Rückseite dieser Einheit (alle mit True-Bypass, widerstandsfrei und mit Gold-Relais, damit alle Pedale, sowohl neue als auch alte, verwendet werden können). Durch An- und Ausstellen der nummerierten Schalter in jeder der acht DIP Bank Switches stellt man ein, welche Effekte man simultan je Bank nutzen möchte. Eine blaue LED für jeden Effekt-Loop und jede Bank. Der Octa-Switch II verfügt jedoch noch über eine Reihe weiterer Features! Der neunte Fußschalter auf der Linken Seite ist ein Bypass-Switch, der es erlaubt alle acht Pedale komplett aus der Signalkette zu nehmen und den unbeeinflussten Klang direkt an den Verstärker zu senden. Es gibt außerdem zwei externe Schaltbuchsen, welche die Verwendung von zwei Verstärkern erlauben und/oder das Umschalten der Kanäle auf diesen Amps. Der OctaSwitch bietet einen Mono Eingang (bei Bedarf gebuffert) und einen Stereo Ausgang.

Andy Timmons, long-time user and fan of the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter, suggested to Carl to create a Compressor/Limiter with two presets, so that he had a preset for more subtle rhythm parts, and a preset with more hard compression and sustain for other parts as solos without having to take up real-estate on the board for two Compressor/Limiters.

Ok, so you have eight effects pedals which you use regularly. You use various combinations of these pedals in various songs, but you are not good at tap dancing…or you are just clumsy and have (once or twice) stepped on the ultra tricked out-metalized-distortion pedal for the lead in your one ABBA cover. You have seen the digital effects controllers they use on the big stages, and have secretly yearned for one… even though you may never make the big stage. Enter Thomas Guldmann’s Octa-switch MK3. Your eight effects plug into the eight effects-loops on the back of this unit (all true-bypass, impedance free, gold relays so you can run any of your pedals, new and old without problem), and then by turning on or off the numbered switches in each of eight DIP Bank switches, you determine which effects you wish to use simultaneously in each Bank. There is 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). The Octa-switch MK3 has incorporated a couple new features as well! The ninth switch on the left side of the case is a BYPASS Switch….this allows you to completely bypass all eight pedals and enjoy only the unaffected sound of your amplifier. There are also two External Switching jacks which allow you to use two amplifiers and/or switch channels on those amps. Once you have all the Banks programmed, we recommend placing a piece of scotch or electrical tape over each DIP (….just to protect the switch from accidental switching, damage or floods….like beer). There is a buffered (or not….switchable) Mono input and a stereo Output, and the unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or by a regulated power supply…like the PowerJack or the Pro Power (both by Carl Martin).
