The Carl Martin Hot Drive'n Boost MK3 Guitar Pedal is an anniversary model. It features a brand - new overdrive design that offers a more authentic 'tube' simulated overdrive than the already - excellent original HDB. The new HDB MK3 sounds like a top - notch tweaked tube amp. Unlike most overdrive pedals, it preserves the original tone, with no midrange emphasis, no low - end or high - end cut. This results in a clear and brilliant tube drive tone. With the BOOST feature, it's a 'TWO IN ONE' pedal. You can get an extra 'kick' (up to 20db) for solos to make them really stand out. It has a built - in regulated (+ - 12V) power supply, enabling high - quality circuitry with maximum headroom. The low output impedance ensures a low - noise connection and better working conditions for your guitar amp.

Using the Carl Martin Hot Drive'n Boost MK3 Guitar Pedal is easy. First, connect it to your guitar and amp using the appropriate cables. You can adjust the drive and boost settings according to your needs. For a more powerful solo, just engage the BOOST feature to get that extra kick. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Remember to turn it off when not in use to save power and extend its lifespan. Also, make sure to use a proper power source as it has a built - in regulated (+ - 12V) power supply.
