The Carl Martin Octa-Switch the Strip is on its third evolution since the original. The fourth version, named “The Strip,” is the smallest and most advanced, taking all the technology used in the first three and adding some new features that make the Octa-Switch the Strip one of the most versatile and simplest all-analog switching pedals available.

At first glance, the Carl Martin Octa-Switch the Strip (designed and refined by Thomas Guldman), has all the same features as before. There are eight FX loops that can be programmed into 8 banks. The loops are all True-Bypass, impedance-free gold relays so you can run all your pedals (old and new) without issue. The main input can be True Bypass, or it can be switched to Buffered for large stages or long cable runs. There are eight blue LEDs that indicate which of the eight loops is being used, and eight green LEDs that indicate which bank is being used.
