When Carl Martin designed HeadRoom, the idea was simple: real spring reverb, without complexity — but with flexibility where it actually matters. Instead of menus or presets, we built a fully analog spring reverb with two identical, independent channels that can be switched instantly while you play.
Each channel has its own Tone and Level controls, allowing us to set up two completely different reverb characters. One channel can be dialed in for a subtle, short room sound, while the other delivers a deeper, darker, and more dramatic reverb. Switching between them feels like moving between two separate reverbs built into the same amp.
At the heart of HeadRoom is a real spring reverb tank. Carl Martin mount it using a dual-suspension system to reduce sensitivity to stage vibration and feedback. The result is a natural, organic reverb response that reacts dynamically to your playing instead of behaving like a static effect layered on top.
Carl Martin designed the HeadRoom for flexible placement. Alongside the standard input and output jacks, they added remote jacks for Bypass and Channel Select. This allows you to place the unit in a rack or behind an amp while still controlling it from the floor — saving valuable pedalboard space without sacrificing functionality.
The enclosure is solid metal, fitted with classic chicken-head knobs, and built to handle real-world use. HeadRoom is straightforward to operate, road-ready, and designed for players who want authentic spring reverb with immediate access to two distinct sounds — no programming required.
