The Carl Martin Crunch Drive is a British-voiced crunch overdrive pedal from Denmark delivering the natural breakup and harmonic character of a pushed vintage British valve amplifier. Covers the range from edge-of-breakup warmth through crunchy classic rock distortion without introducing the extreme gain of modern high-gain pedals. Designed to replicate the tone and feel of early Marshall and Vox amplifiers driven into natural saturation. A long-standing part of the Carl Martin professional lineup. Made in Denmark.
The Orange Vintage Distortion is a distortion pedal from Orange Amplifiers delivering the warm, harmonically rich distortion character inspired by classic Orange tube amplifiers in a compact enclosure. Orange is renowned for warm, British vintage tone, and the Vintage Distortion captures that characteristic sound in pedal form.
