Thanks to Liam Sutherland for requesting this one through my site (brettkingman.com). If you have a request, please visit the site and drop me a line. Cheers, B.
From the Carl Martin website:
"What Vintage series would be complete without an ultra-versatile and simple to use drive pedal? Funny, that's what Carl said just before he introduced the DC Drive. Just like Carl, this pedal has a few tricks up its sleeve. Besides the typical Level, Tone and Drive knobs which obviously control the volume of the signal, the tone (hmmm, which knob?) and the amount of overdrive, Carl has smartly added a clean boost after the drive section, and a Regular/Fat switch....not so typical. In Regular mode, the drive is crisp and clear, suitable for anything that calls for old-school drive....switch over to Fat and the drive gets thicker with a lot more gain, much more modern. Anyone who knows the Carl Martin line is familiar with his Clean Boost....a bump-up in signal volume that can be used either with your clean or overdriven sounds. The result is a multi-use pedal that allows you to have a variety of rhythm and solo volumes at your feet. Like the rest of the Vintage line, the DC drive comes in that cool retro diecast housing with the equally cool chicken-head knobs and CM graphics. The pedal can be powered by 9v battery but we recommend a regulated power supply like the Carl Martin Big John."

thx a bunch for the appropriate demo. Got this little toy second hand - wanted only a spare unit for me dearly beloved PlexiTone. It's much more than a backup. I put it right away on the floorboard for a gig the same evening. Great. What a blast.
Burgs, thank you for doing that demo. It looks like you came to a similar conclusion of what the Tone control does and how bright the pedal can get. I think I'll hang on to mine for now and find a use for it eventually. Cheers.
I've missed your reviews Brett. Nice to see 'em again!
Man, Sir Brett Kingman makes every setting sound great. This guy knows how to play a guitar.
Very cool demo/review, it's making me buy this pedal.
VERY GOOD. THE BEST I'VE SEEN AND HEARD LATELY.
Great approach to demo videos. Thanks Brett. I just ordered a DC Drive on the strength of your demo, as you answered all the questions I'd got - and more besides! Good on ya, as you blokes say. ;)
Best demo ever (in only 5 min).. And best od-sound ever heard
This is one amazing and very versatile OD.
Brett has the THE BEST reviews on the Internet. Would like to hear the Carl Martin new small Plexitone. Was that demoed already!?
Loving that strat, it looks superb! Nice demo as well:)
I dig that Smitty guitar. Any others available? Thanks for the demo. Pedal sounds good. 🤙
Awesome demo! Thanks.
Brett, you hands down do the best demos. Its very easy to get a pedal addiction watching all your vids. How many do you actually own? Always great riffing too.
Beautiful pedal and great (modern-rock) versatility!! Brett your demos are wide-range realized!! When do you ll'do some new pedalboard demo? We are all waiting for ;-))))))
Hi Brett,
Your vid made make a bid for this pedal on the local Ebay!
Thanks for your great reviews!!
Great review man 👍👍👍
If you ever get bored with that Blues Breaker, you can give it to me...
Just joking, great review as always!
Forget the pedal, the guitar sounds great by itself!
Whatever I feel like using with some consideration for people who use both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars.
Great demo as usual. Iv'e just bought on of these O/D and its awesome. Definately would love that Tele as well where can I get one
How would it push a dirty amp compared to a tube screamer?
What's your rationale for choosing which guitars to use in which demo?
Just how many Pedals do you own? D:
Nice!
great pedal,glad i replaced it when mine got stolen
Just seen the Smitty guitars site
Plexidrive or dis
Both!
