Frequently Asked Questions
Setting it to 'Pre' drives the signal before the EQ, creating a more aggressive, saturated tone; 'Post' applies the overdrive after EQ shaping for a cleaner, more controlled response.
It's fully adjustable via a potentiometer, allowing you to sweep the midrange frequency from roughly 180Hz to 1kHz, providing precise tonal control.
The Tone Hammer’s DI is a solid, reliable option, but lacks the advanced features (like multiple outputs and impedance settings) found on the more premium DB 925.
