Carpe Diem Compact

The Carpe Diem Compact packs the Carpe Diem's tube-like Marshall Plexi overdrive into a mini enclosure, making it easy to fit on a crowded board.

Alongside its main controls it adds four internal micro switches, labelled bass, mid boost, presence and lead, so you can tune the voicing and gain to your rig. It keeps the JTM45-to-JCM800 range of the full-size version, from cleanish edge to hot-rodded crunch, with true bypass. It's aimed at plexi fans who want that drive in a smaller footprint.
