The Carl Martin Panama conjures the legendary '80s Overdrive sound straight out of the Box . Accordingly, this Pedal convinces with the authentic Hard - Rock and - Metal sounds of heavily-moddered guitar amplifiers of British character, whereby the fully analog circuit offers precise possibilities for tone control. While controls for Gain , level and tone affect the basic sound characteristics as usual, the unique Damping control allows precise tuning of the response in the low frequencies, so that definition and assertiveness of the sound are maintained even with maximum distortion.
