Carl Martin 6Pack at Musikmesse 2014

Fully programmable ANALOG effects board




http://guitarnoize.com/musikmesse-2014-carl-martin-release-6pack-analog-multi-effect/

Carl Martin believes that their new 6Pack is the first pro-quality, all analog, full programmable multi effect on the market. The 6Pack makes it possible to use one of four presets in each of 99 Banks using the 6 different on-board effects. There are also 3 different external amp switching options which are also programmable. The layout is designed to be super intuitive so no midi and no menus or sub menus to scroll through when you need to make changes to your sound. For each Preset, you engage the pedals you require for the preset, adjust all the parameters for each pedal and press store.

Features include an insert point after the drive, master mute switch, tuner out, tap tempo and instant access so you can enter or remove any effect or preset on the fly. The 6Pack also has solid steel casing, high quality switches and lighted pots and an external switch mode AC Power supply.

Ok simple to use, but no price indication and no indication how it sound.
"Analog" doesn't necessarily mean "better". I read "less flexible"
Who wants analog telephones back today?
But I got more gear than I need...and I like it!

I still think its worth listening  to this product. Myself I still prefer analog gear for bulk of my pure electric guitar tones (due to much wider dynamic range and touch response compared to most DSP based gear.  And Carl Martin (Along with T-Rex) gear is top quality in my book. - but thats just me and my ears

Looks like a sensible layout.  I think I'd have preferred that the patch select buttons run above the effect on-off buttons as that reflects my typical pedalboard usage a bit better - e.g. get in the ballpark for the song(s) via patch select, punch effects on and off through the arrangement.  But agreed, it's an interesting product provided it sounds good.  Probably cost-prohibitive for me, though.
